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!

So name the Russian propaganda and the people repeating it.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Trump and the insurrectionist squad

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Yes, but it would help if talking points where specifically noted and the people propagating them.

Right and then - Hey there go the goalposts. Who woulda thunk it. Pass.

Naming and shaming should NOT be too much to ask. In fact, it should be step fucking one of this shit. Name and shame. Fuck off with accidentally running cover for evil morons.

We can start with the Republicans that went to Russia over the July 4th break a couple years ago. Rand Paul was the ringleader there.

Those traitors can fuck right off.

Who’s running cover for these turd circus clowns? Asking for examples when the past eight years are awash in them is not asking in good faith. Like, seriously, you can’t guess where to look, like at all? Not even in an internet search? Yeah right. Fuck off.

They didn't ask for examples from incredulity. People asking for names and examples understand that the court system needs actual evidence of actual crime.

Do you want to just shake your finger at horrible people and say, "shame", or actually figure out who said what and if what was illegal?

The fact you do not understand how holding someone to account means ACCOUNTING what they've done, you have some problems. This isn't fucking time to hide peoples' names.
