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!

I don't care. Assume Trump can win, and vote like you have the power to stop him.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 35 points 9 months ago

Exactly.

Trump and the whole GOP need to be thrown out. Anything less just means the rot will continue to fester.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Fuck off. Underestimate this fascist traitor cunt and his servile cocksmokers at your own peril.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Trump is a convicted rapist and half the country is okay with that.

We need a massive turnout in November. Vote them all out.

[–] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Trump has lost support since his loss in 2020. A sycophantic media lifts him up, polls show support for him, but talking to Republicans makes it clear that many not like him. There are a lot of Never Trumpers. A lot.

But we should still turnout in November.

[–] rdyoung@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Problem is that these never never trumpers on the right are never going to vote for Biden so if they do vote, it will only help trump even if they say they don't like him.

Don't listen to what people say, watch what they do. Plenty of maggats say they don't like trump right up until it's time to lockstep and vote for the fascists. Some of those same people would vote against any other party who does the shit the republicans are pulling now but because they have a R next to their name they get their vote regardless of much they disagree with them.

Fucking A... thinking he was a joke is how he got in originally...along with the left pushing candidates like Trump because he was thought to be unelectable...let's make sure hes unelectable.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Why not discount him? Why not say how weak he is and act like he’s not a threat?

We know why.

Because in 2016 and, incredibly, 2020 we found out how many fucking racist idiots vote in this country. Many millions, and thanks to the Slaver’s College doing what it was designed to do, that’s enough.

DO NOT FUCK THIS UP AGAIN.

Articles are going to go nuts for lots of reasons between now and November. Don’t care. STAY ON TARGET. The future of everything you hope for and believe in is on the line. That’s not hyperbole.

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I swear I was in the gym the other day and Trump was just pressing the bar. No plates. And he was wearing shorts and his calves, yikes.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I heard he once hit a golf ball and it landed on the moon, and that's why the deep state won't let astronauts go back there.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Let me guess, you heard it from him?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Direct from The Mooch!

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Why post podcasts?

Seriously, thats rule 1 of the sub, this place is for articles.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Just because the wounded tiger in the corner is starting to look weak doesn't mean it's safe to turn your back on it yet.

[–] GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I dunno... He looks pretty weak from my perspective. The only thing weaker is his supporters.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He's not qualified. And a piss baby.

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

Just like Piss-baby Abbott.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

Dunno. He looks pretty weak.

[–] SoupBrick@yiffit.net 4 points 9 months ago

Idk man, have you seen the NFTs of him??

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, he looks like a bowl of pudding on a rascal scooter covered with bumper stickers- but you’re saying… it’s worse than that.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

The mold running through the pudding was supposed to enhance structural integrity, but even that is rotting

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Then he is extraordinarily weak beyond reason. He's essentially slime mold if hes weaker than he looks.

EDIT: Even mindless slime mold can solve a fucking maze. We all need to step up to vote when the time comes. We have to stop this particular slime from solving his hateful maze.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Post only links to articles

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It doesn't matter if he loses the independents, as long as his base still loves him and he can sling enough mud at Biden

[–] habahnow@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

This is a podcast.breaks rule number 1
