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!

Imagine this genocidal scumbag telling me about "regular" people.

It's mask off season, y'all. Wake up to the "party" that you've been supporting.

Sure, let me talk like a regular person then.

Go fuck yourself Fetterman and eat a bag of dicks.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 51 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And not a regular bag of dicks, jumbo sized syphilitic dicks.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

With extra scabs and puss discharge!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Could they be lightly salted?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

Regular people do talk about oligarchs, asshole.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

More confirmation that conservative thought originates from brain damage.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I don't think my opinion of anyone has even changed so quickly and so throughoughly before as it has for Fetterman.

Fuck you dude. Fuck you and your hoodie. I'm ashamed to have shaken your hand.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is who he's always been.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Manny have said that, but I didn't buy it. I lived in PA and volunteered for his campaign when he first ran for for Senate in 2016. I've met him in person and had actual face to face conversations with him when he visited the campaign office I was at multiple times. I don't recognize the man I hear talking today. That stroke changed him in a fundamental way.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I admire Fettermans ability to talk out of one side of his face while gargling trumps balls with the other side.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

Can you believe that Dr. Oz was somehow the more honest conman, despite everything he did?

[–] milt@lemm.ee 40 points 2 days ago

Crazy how brain damage reliably makes people conservative. There’s something about that ideology that’s fundamentally perfectly appealing to incredibly stupid people, and ridiculous to smart people. For fascist morons by fascist morons

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 27 points 2 days ago

Fuck fetterman. Don't give that worthless piece of shit the recognition.

[–] bleepneilson@lemmy.ml 45 points 2 days ago

This guy disappoints me more and more every day

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Apart from Fetterman just being a consistent left-punching conservative asshole, he's now doing active propaganda for Fox. You don't go on Fox to drop some Real Talk for your fellow Democrats, you do it to reinforce conservative propaganda.

He's speed running the Tulsi Gabbard path.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

What dat zionism do.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

Fuck you Fetterman. Just another corporate Dem coward - with some populist show boating.

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Who cares. All the dems do is talk anyway.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not true. Why right now they’re trying to find a way to pass the Republican budget and screw us all over without taking blame.

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Shit, you got me there.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Suppose they could post on Lemmy instead …

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The regular people seem to be using the word "oligarch" pretty often nowadays. Maybe he needs to actually talk to some regular people?

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

He'd have to leave his rich person's house and have someone drive him out of his rich person's neighborhood to do that.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I'm thinking that he thinks "regular" people are people like fElon and assholes that give him a soft job on the regular, like Joe Rogan.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Normal people? Trump is pimping Tesla's at the White House. What's normal?

[–] TheDeadlySquid@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Piss of traitor and put on some pants.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Says the rich fucker with a $50m net worth inherited from mommy and daddy. You mean talk like you? That traumatic brain injury really did a number it seems. How many people are running the government with brain damage now? I can think of at least 10 off the top of my head.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

One of 'ems got a worm in there, does that count?

[–] Photuris@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago

Somebody needs to punch him in the dick.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

What was on fetterman's hard drive, I wonder...

[–] facepainter@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Always has been.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 days ago

Get fucked, asshole.

Haha fuck off cunt. You’re a fucking quisling. I’m fuckin’ done giving you a pass cuz you had a stroke. You not only refuse to seek help, but you also refuse to understand or admit you have a problem.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So I'm completely out of the loop as a west coaster. What did Fettermam do? Coulda sworn people adored him when he got elected

[–] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

He went hardline right-wing after a stroke

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 6 points 2 days ago

I am not a regular person I guess.

How about, "Y'all are starring in the World's Biggest Gangrape -- a GOP Production."

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I, for one, appreciate that he said that.

As with Felon Drink Bleach, it's important to do the opposite of what Nazis demand.

All the more reason why we should all constantly discuss the problem of the oligarchs.
