Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Whataboutism in replies? Color me surprised.
lol tankies trying so hard to rationalize what China and Russia is wrongly doing now for what US may or may not have wrongly done in the past.
But tu tuoque / two wrongs make a right, amirite gais!?
lol who cares. Irrelevant to the conversation. Why fixate on the past when the topic is the wrongdoing happening now and that can be thwarted now?
What a unicorn!
Tell me, Mr. Anti-capitalist, how'd you acquire the device you're using right now?
Oof, looks like I hit a nerve and won.
Again: Tell me, Mr. Anti-capitalist, how'd you acquire the device you're using right now?
I'm not even a liberal, haha! I'm actually left of there. Closer to a Social Democrat.
Curious
Ah! So they're just hypocrites who can't practice what they preach — got it!
Always makes me chuckle when someone spits out something like "capitalist scum" but guaranteed wallows in the scum on the daily like a pig in feces.
Zero self-awareness.
Change begins with you, good sir!
What are you even going on about. Take your meds xD
Manuel Zelaya, Salvador Allende, Fidel Castro, Aristide (oops, we fixed it though, all better now see?), a whole generation of North African warlords, Milošević, Afghanistan, Askar Akayev, Ismail Haniyeh...
After a certain point I started just copying from this article; there are plenty more. I won't say you're 100% wrong but neither is the person you're talking to, either.
That's enough Lemmy for the day, I think
