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!

You: Jumps into the ocean, yelling, “Everybody out, there’s a shark in the water!” 💦

Me: Throws you a life preserver. 🛟

You: “That’s okay, I can’t swim.” 🏊‍♀️

Why do you feel the need to make up fake dialogue between you and the people you disagree with?

What’s wrong? Is reality not suitable enough to support your bullshit that you need to fabricate conversations?

Because it is analogous to the inconsistent statements you make.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To anyone that doesn’t have an agenda, there’s nothing at all inconsistent with anything I’ve said. However saying shit like “I am voting for Biden.” And then going so far out of your way to defend those of you that suggest no one vote against Trump…

Well, now that is what I’d call inconsistent. But you people do love to project, so sure. Call me what you deny.

So, if I have an agenda, your statements are inconsistent?

And then going so far out of your way to defend those of you that suggest no one vote against Trump… Well, now that is what I’d call inconsistent.

Just making ish up. I have never said that. I have advocated for everyone to vote, or not vote, based on their personal self interests.

Call me what you deny

This. What does this mean? What have I called you? What am I denying? Is this some colloquial cant that eludes me?
