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.

This is the battle that determines our future. If we lose this, it's war, or submission for years or decades, and then war.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 41 minutes ago

Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.

Everyone was all like "ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they're campaigning".

Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don't like.

You can't win if no one is playing by the rules.

Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?

Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.

I wish the ironic gift of Trump's grandfather's German birth certificate hadn't gone straight over the heads.

[–] MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 21 points 6 hours ago

That’s fascism

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 38 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The mask is off! Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to a third world prison? What a fucked up party they have become.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

They haven't done a good job of hiding who they are since before the 101st Airborne had to escort the Little Rock Nine to school.

[–] ShittDickk@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

128 Democrats were told by their handlers to let trump do yoohoo's dirty work.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 38 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Why do they hate democracy do much?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 41 points 8 hours ago

Because they can't win if they keep it.

[–] lmuel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

This is more or less unrelated but nonetheless very important:

Should we tell him that his makeup was swapped for a bucket of shit? I’m not sure he’s able to smell it but we can certainly see it.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

apparently the smell is something else. some next level shit, if by next level we mean 'in his pants'

So fucking sick of the peter pan party

Sure, Piss Off 9 Million People surrounding the DC area, sounds like a great idea lmfao.

It's extra dumb because it's NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They're just all being super racist.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 1 points 41 minutes ago

I don't know why you think that. Giuliani and Bloomberg were both Republicans. Republicans have run New York for more than half of the last 30 years.

And even when we get Democrats, we end up with conservative Dems like Eric Adams out here promising to lock people up.

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 20 points 7 hours ago

It's not just Fox News. Bezo's Washington Post ran an editorial, written by "the editorial board," about how Mamdani would be "bad for New York and bad for the Democratic Party," claiming he would destroy public transit, reduce the number of grocery stores, drive away big businesses, depress low-skill employment, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and of course that this would discredit all the other young candidates across the country. The WaPo's threat earlier this year to make their editorial page aggressively pro-capitalist and anti-public-good was apparently very much in earnest.

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

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

If he closes wouldn't he be out of a job? Lol

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.

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 49 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 57 minutes ago

Citizenship does exist under tyranny, but instead of having rights, you get duties.

Basically PUBG, but with more guns

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 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 1 points 24 minutes ago

Clinton didn't endorse the incumbent. He endorsed Cuomo, New York's former governor who resigned in disgrace several years ago. Apparently Cuomo feels that enough time has passed since he resigned in disgrace that he can try starting up his career again.

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