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!

Sadly Democrats couldn't make Republicans fear a Lovecraftian Horror.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

So, we should summon a Lovecraftian Horror?

Schumer will shake his finger at you vigorously with the glasses on his nose if you don't stop misbehaving

Sorry, they're too busy trying to stop David Hogg.

They won't. They'll make sure nothing fundamentally changes.

We as citizens need to use our second amendment. It was created for this.

The DNC? Will never happen. They need to be afraid of the people and for all their bluster I've never seen them do anything but capitulate.

David Hogg (Parkland Massacre survivor, and a loud anti-MAGA voice) is now a vice chair of the DNC, and he is calling for investing $20 million in primarying weak Democratic incumbents. I hope one of those is my Dem congressional rep, who is a useless weenie.

He's starting to show up on political talk shows, and he is a very smart, impressive, charismatic, COURAGEOUS young man, who is determined to change the Democratic party from within. He is scaring the shit out of the old established cowards.

We need to support him, and the rest of the new rising segment of young progressives like AOC, Frost, Crockett, etc., and those they inspire.

People should not be afraid of the government, government should be afraid of the people.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

As the Founding Fathers intended. That's why they gave us the 2nd Amendment. Dems need to embrace it as much as the Reps do.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They held up little signs, begged for bipartisanship, and voted for Republican only written bills. I mean what more do you want from them!

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

By shifting to the right apparently

[–] gitgud@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago

Democrats doing literally anything

🤣

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Well, unless the Dem voters quit expecting their reps to do something about the situation, it's not gonna change.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Attempting?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

They will not.

[–] lilsolar@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

I'm sure a pink shirt and a flag will do the trick!
