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!

Many of them are surprisingly silent on the matter.
It’s refreshing.
Um, I don't know about that.
I don’t think anyone counts you as relevant.
Really? That means when I post, I don't have to worry about people calling me a liar and a Russian shill anymore, right?
And no one will be bothered by what I post anymore or complain about how much I post, because I mean, it's not like I'm relevant or anything. Right?!
That's awesome!! Thank you! :)
No, but on a VERY far left leaning platform, you’re al almost always ratioed into oblivion. That should probably tell you a lot. But you’re not here in good faith, and that is probably is why it doesn’t matter much to you.
Most people generally don’t stick around places where they’re not wanted.
What makes you think I'm not here in good faith? What do you think good faith means? Because it seems to me that just because I am not voting for Harris, you think that doesn't count as good faith. So maybe you could clarify.
And just because I get downvoted a lot, you think I should just now voice my opinions? Do you think that Lemmy should only allow views that the majority here view? Like an echo chamber?
Oh please! By all means…. Voice your opinion. That’s why lemmy is here. I just wanted to know that you were aware that lemmy is a notoriously left leaning/socialist platform, and you’re STILL downvoted into irrelevance.
And not that you’ve successfully derailed the conversation- as you do, I’m going to end it- as I do, because you have proven yet again that you have nothing to offer the topic but distraction and irrelevancy.
And I STILL post whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want.
And since I am so irrelevant, then that's not a problem for you, right?! Thank you! :)
You’re TOTALLY welcome! :) OmG!
And please, have the day you deserve.
Oh, I promise you I intend to! It’s already started off very well I think! I’ve read some fantastic articles that indicate good chances to see a Harris/Walz presidency!! Stein has been relegated into irrelevancy for good this time it seems as her Russian ties and her connection to Trump have been exposed! We won’t have to hear from her again!!
So, yeah. I’m in a fantastic mood! :) yay! OMG!!
So see? Things are looking up for you, friend! Glad you're in a better mood. :)
Yeah. Knowing there’s a bunch of crying socialists smashing their keyboards in anger becasue their beloved Russian shill has been outed does trigger a bit of selfish vindication. Especially when I’ve had socialist moderators remove my comments and ban me back when I was saying this shit months and months ago.
Those sad mods are now having to deal with the fact that they removed the comments of a person that was right all along.
I don’t know… knowing someone is forced to face their cognitive dissonance is just… delicious to me!
Such a sweet and wonderful feeling of justification. And admittedly, yeah… superiority.
OMG! Look at me! I have a guilty pleasure! :)
I mean, I guess some could be. None that I know of.
Wow. Did you bring up your issue with the mods and find out why they'd do that?
Who's doing that? Or is it just something you want to happen?
K. Bye! I’m off to have the day I deserve! Have a nice day!!! :) OMG!
K, bye! Have the day you deserve! :)
OMG! Thank you! I so will! :)
So you finally admit that we're friends now?! Thank you!
No.
But you called me "bestie!"
No, I didn’t.
Well, not after you edited it. Oh man, I really thought we were starting to make a connection, friend!
Bye.
See ya soon!
Yep. I look forward to seeing you get wrecked every time you post. Also, seeing all of your misinformation being removed in such large generous amounts from lemmy gives me hope that there might be something good in this platform.
People actually care to vet propaganda here. I like that.
What "misinformation" is "being removed in such large generous amounts from lemmy"?!
And what "propaganda" are you talking about?
Check your mod logs.
You mean you count this as "large generous amounts from lemmy" and "propaganda"?!
Imagine curating your own list while ignoring the fact that it’s public for anyone to look up on their own:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=9454261
You sure do like to feature your own posts. Don’t you?
My communities, so yeah, my peragotive on what I wanna feature and unfeature. It's called modding. lmao And yeah, mod logs are totally public, I have never said otherwise.
What point are you trying to make? That I clean and update my communities regularly? Because um, yeah, I do. The mod logs on every one of my communities is public. Here are the direct links, I'm fine with people seeing my logs:

What point? That you’re- by mod log removal reasoning, a troll. Their words, not mine. This isn’t an accusation on my part. It’s evident in the reason you keep getting your shit removed.
And most mods don’t feature their own posts. But you do you.
Goin a wrap this up. I have a day I deserve to go have and I don’t care for slap fights.
Toodles! :)
So I'm a troll by modding the communities that I created and mod? What?! Dude, I am the one that removed the posts in my own communities. What are you even going on about?!
I have never been banned from any community for being a troll. You know why? Because I'm not a troll.
Just because you don't like me, doesn't make me a troll. lmao
If you think I'm such a troll, then feel free to stop responding to my posts and/or block me.
I can feature and unfeature and post anything I want in my communties. Feel free to start your own community or stay out of mine if you don't like that idea.
Have the day you deserve, friend! :)
No, you’re called a “troll” for having comments removed for trolling. It’s in the mod logs. You have trolled. This is not up for debate.
And look, I get what you’re doing here. I see the irony in trolling someone that has pointed out evidence that you’re trolling people.
And I’ve entertained it as long as I was willing to play along, but I’m done now. You’re free to have the last word as I get how that is very important to you. But I’m done.
I honestly don’t care what you have because you are entirely irrelevant to me. Keep posting the propaganda though. I LOVE watching people prove your shit wrong.
Lol
So using your logic, are all of the other people that have had comments removed for trolling, called "trolls" as well then? Because comments towards me have been removed for trolling. And I wouldn't necessarily call them trolls, would you?
Ironically, (or maybe not ironic in your eyes) I had my first variation of this comment removed for trolling, so that's why this additional comment. :)

... yes, a person that engages in trolling is a troll. What did you think it was?
Holy shit dude log the fuck off and touch some grass. The internet isn't real and it's certainly not important.
I was responding to a comment that someone had. Have you told them to log off and touch some grass as well?
Mate, I don't give a fuck.
Well I guess apparently you do, because you made the comment.
