I’d prefer they all stay out of politics, entirely.

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!

Any political endorsement should automatically strip their tax-free status, while simultaneously initiating an IRS audit.
Or if they did ... just pay taxes like everyone else.
If you're going to have a big opinion about politics and start acting like a political organization and influencing politics ... I don't mind, just pay taxes.
Agreed. And stop getting free tax money.
All hands on deck against the nazis. If someone punched my grandma and then denounced trump, I'd join hands with them for this election.
My grandma is a huge bitch though.
I mean... yeah, ofc, but that ship has sailed, and I for one hope that this message gets spread far and wide, to help counteract the message being preached from the literal and actual pulpit in America that a vote for Trump = a vote for God.
Also, as we could have guessed, this is an enormously clickbaity "news" title, as this excerpt explains:
“In a moment like this, I am compelled to be clear that every voter must make a choice, and my choice is to oppose the dangerous politics that (Donald) Trump and the MAGA movement have unleashed by supporting the ticket that can defeat this potential for American fascism,” Barber said in a statement to CNN, while stressing that he was backing Harris in his personal capacity.
In their personal capacity they are endorsing Harris, but in their professional (or whatever that word should be to mean non-personal) capacity they are only endorsing "not-Trump". As it should be.
Edit: which reminds me that I wanted to block this community - that issue of EXTREMELY misleading headlines (especially those that mean the precise polar opposite of what a natural interpretation of the sentence would seem to indicate) comes up FAR too often here for my tastes. !globalnews@lemmy.zip significantly cleans up such trash by limiting what is allowed to be shared.
Standing up to a fascist dictator is up to everyone.
Jesus could come back with photo ID, walk on water, let the Cowboys be a championship team, and cure the blind, Republicans will still vote Trump.
Republicans would crucify him.
Keep in mind that is why the Jewish leaders wanted him killed: because he spoke the truth
This is like saying 1,000 delusional people endorse Harris. I don't think it's the flex they think it is.
Those delusional people can get their delusional followers to delusionally vote for Harris to keep the delusional dictator out of office who would make it so only one delusion was legal so many delusional people can't indulge in their delusion
We have the magic child molesters on our side 👍
