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!

Cot damn bro... a bit extreme, no?
Not in the slightest.
They and the federalist society are the ones pushing the absolutely disgusting changes the Republican party is trying to make. They give the "short list" of judges for Republicans presidents to choose from. They are fully responsible for the shit we're about to go through now that their project is almost complete.
Everything that's been tried up to the extreme has had no effect, so, it's time to escalate. You can't beat cheaters and liars and thieves and murderers by playing by the rules and being nice and polite. If the Democrats don't do something, democracy is gone in November and it won't be coming back to the USA.
Do high crimes demand extreme punishments?
Treason? Yeah on an individual basis. Home boy here and his upvoters supports firebombing humans. Imagine saying the same chit about AIPAC or the ADL? lol smh.
Anyway, if you guys want to support literal acts of terrorism, good luck on your future prospects.
I hear ya, but we also know the window for legally resolving this constitutional crisis is quickly closing. So I take this talk as sort of, "this is where we are heading if things don't change". I don't support the coming of these times, but I do want to highlight the urgency. We do not want a version of "The Troubles" like the Irish did.
You got downvoted for this? Damn, Lemmy, you never fail to disappoint me.
Bro, this is a weird place. I was just commenting about how Google sucks for searching up solutions to technical issues I come across at work, so I utilize AI. People got hostile and my comments deleted. I can't wrap my head around some of the communities.
The echo chamber here can be a bit too strong, just like Reddit. I wish Lemmy would stop mass downvoting simple questions, even if they disagree with it.
Did your parents make it through the closed borders while that happened?
My grandparents came to the U.S. and became citizens through the legal route.
You do realize when people say, "close the border", the message is to literally close off the U.S. border with a wall. There's nothing wrong with immigrants coming to this country through the legal channels.
