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!

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party's potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

Why do they hate democracy do much?

angry ceo threatens to close grocery chain... well, that will show them 😂

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 2 hours ago

Watch that be something super small time as well, like a guy who owns three convenience stores within about a mile of each other.

The national party better figure out quickly that the next election isn't going to be

"Blue no matter who"

It's going to be

"More green than blue or else fuck you too!"

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 20 minutes ago* (last edited 20 minutes ago)

As an outsider looking at American politics, "blue no matter who" is a propaganda to condition Americans citizens to always accept the lesser evil, and to not bother to try to lobby or pressure their own representatives to be actually be better.

As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn't sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven't ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.

Citizenship doesn't exist under a tyranny. There's only people inside the circle and people outside the circle. And the circle constantly gets smaller

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 24 points 4 hours ago

I hope Zohran gets a group of armed bodyguards. Sooner or later, ICE will try to disappear him.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 41 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I've read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don't expect any support from the Democratic Party.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 4 points 1 hour ago

Bill Clinton stepped in at the last minute to endorse the Dem incumbent, yeah the establishment (which is 95% of the Democratic party) won't be thrilled.

None that I have been able to find; probably just hearsay, or a misrepresentation of what a pundit said on cable news somewhere.

[–] cuteness@sh.itjust.works 56 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I’m calling on the federal government to strip the citizenship of every member and associate of the New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) because they are a threat to the USA.

ICE needs to step in and quickly deport them before their case can be heard in court.

[–] DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Now that the Supreme court has approved of deportations to third countries, this is actually feasible. Maybe Uganda would like to welcome them. Or perhaps Libya.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 54 minutes ago

What has Uganda done to deserve such mistreatment?

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Republicans start being revolting, very early in their political careers, it seems. Maybe they are born that way.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 4 hours ago

Raised that way.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 25 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's how you know he actually might get something good done.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 12 points 5 hours ago

Exactly. If MAGAt morons don't like the person, you know they're probably the best choice.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

A photo of Trump next to a normal (both in looks and mentally) person never stops being surprising, hilarious and disturbing. We all know he both looks and behaves like an absolute clown, but most photos of him are of his goons and/or other dictators (real or wannabes) who all look ridiculous so you don't get that direct comparison.

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.ca 37 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

Yeah that's not going to happen. Zohran Mamdani is in no way a threat to the US. Period.

If it did happen I bet LA this last month will look like a slumber party compared to what will happen as a result of this actually happening.

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Neither are most of the people they are deporting. This isn't really about threats to the US it is about threats to their dominance. Suppression of political opponents.

[–] MiyamotoKnows@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

This is wisdom. New Yorkers do not fuck around.

They really are afraid. Very good.

[–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 28 points 9 hours ago

If he does. Time for even more mass protests. Shut down the streets of New York until his citizenship is restored.
