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!

Save you a click: Walz doesn't practice vegetarianism like the author and the other 5% of the population of the US that does, so he's secretly evil.

Not OP, but that's not exactly accurate. The article itself is much less dramatic than the headline. The article acknowledges how trump's policies would absolutely be worse

Mainly talks about implicit support of factory farming in campaign stops and the like. But also notes that it's not limited to Walz and far worse on the Republican side

Kind of wish they just ran with a different headline on this

Oh no, guy from farm state is friendly with livestock farmers! /s

[–] echo@lemmings.world 17 points 1 month ago

At least he's not weirdly friendly with couches...

In Minnesota the Democrats and the Farmers party are literally the same party.

The Democrats, the farmers, and the labor parties all merged a while ago into the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party...

Of course he's friendly with farmers... He's part of the Farmers party...

Farmers party sounds like what they call a birthday at Farmer Boys.

Next up: "The ugly reality behind Tim Walz's classic car."

The article: It's old an inefficient and runs on fossil fuels and that means he wants to kill the planet. But the Republicans are worse.

Factory farm animals don't deserve attention and affection? /s

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

if you think they deserve it, you should make sure they get it.
