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!

MODERATORS
I like to point out that, most recently, it's the responsibility of only 82,000 people in this country (total votes: 170k out of 258k) that has filled (it feels like) 82% of our news cycle with this person's barfhole. If you go back to her first primary win, it's 21,000. https://ballotpedia.org/Marjorie_Taylor_Greene
What I don't understand is why the losers are so widely celebrated?
Appeasement after the assassination of Lincoln due to Johnson's soft stance on Confederates. Basically moderates shit the bed and rather than wipe out the ideology, they let it fester and become "heritage."
If only it were that simple.
it also says in the article
Greene did not say that Lee was a founding father
i hate news websites like this and i hate reddit and by extension lemmy
STOP UPVOTING CLICKBAIT YOU DIDN'T READ
Lemmy as a real issue with a lot of random no-name news websites being posted to it tbh
You mean "bad moderation and lack of tools for doing it well".
The article title is correct, it just wasn't as much of a burn as you'd like. The calling out did happen, but was just a bit misplaced since Greene didn't explicitly make the offending statement.
Also Greene is dumb and I'm sure is still confused about what a founding father is.
I wish people would stop posting Mediaite “articles”. They are just poorly-written clickbait.
Or anything relating MTG.
She's just a low effort troll looking for attention.
There's no value in anything she ever said or did in her entirely life, so there's no value in reporting on any of it either.
I have nothing against an article about Magic The Gathering.
This nonsense about Marge Green is drivel though.
Seriously people need to quit using the 3 initial thing for her - her name isn’t heiphenated
I don't like her either but.... Sun Tzu says..
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
I don't need to hear her to know exactly what she's about. People like her aren't complicated.
I facepalm seeing people who are usually on top of the ball with their political views sharing articles from Mediaite, The Daily Beast, and The New Republic without recognizing the prominence of inflammatory and agenda-pushing bad journalism across these platforms. It may not be every single story or headline but it’s a consistent theme, especially with the more viral articles. The same types of flaws are a major aspect of what Fox News is condemned for and lead to people picking a side of a story or picking a party just for emotion and in-grouping rather than reason.
So right. I'm quite sick of these articles that sound like a teenager relaying an interaction they had in school today.
"And so Maggie said 'that's stupid' and then Tom said 'no you're stupid.' It was wicked."
Dude, what isn't click bait anymore?
Agreed. No fan, but from the article “Greene did not say that Lee was a founding father”
My boss is a total right wing nut, thankfully he isn't so crazy that he is impossible to work with. I have concluded that almost every problem he has with the world is a straw-man. He has to characterize his argument in a fantasy and then play it out. Never does he use real examples, they are always made up what if's.
This same thing MTG is doing here. It's ridiculous and just amazing that people can live in their own heads like that.
Marge angry
MARGE SMASH
Why the long face, Marge?
I just wish she wasn't such a neigh-sayer.
You guys need to stop horsing around
can't even be a founding teenager considering he was born about 25 years after the declaration of independence.
He wasn't, his father arguably was though. He gets overshadowed by his son's legacy, but he had an interesting life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Lee_III
