Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

this is one of the many over the top things that makes me disreagard them as an option. the whole both sides you have to listen to everyone. not when they are so obviously full of shit. they were never great but at one point they still existed mostly in reality but man. since the 80's its been a decline that seems to be accelerating.

They are so bad, and so blatant about it, that the republicans feel like a fake party invented to keep the democrats in power.

But, as always, the real version is much worse than the fictional version. The blatant shitbags actually get elected constantly! But even that isn’t bad enough. You have Trump, the traitorous corrupt bigoted scumbag who prey much qualifies as the Antichrist on paper, and he is their fucking hero. (“They” being the voters)

I am with you. Feel the same. Still blows me away when I see or hear folks who are for them or see polls with such large numbers. is half the populace crazy? seriously I did not feel this way in the 80's and even the 90's with newt and he was pretty rediculous.

What we're seeing now are the long term consequences of Newt and company.

Nah. The anti-christ is supposed to be someone everyone loves and preaches about peace and shit to get everyone on his side before he turns on the evil.

Have you ever read one of those articles that goes point by point on what the Bible says about the Antichrist? A bunch of them are spot on. But I won’t claim every single one of them are because I don’t know the full list, lol.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

The full list won’t be revealed until the 69th horn is blown, it’s in the Bible. /s

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Then the anti-Christ is definitely Paul Rudd.
