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!

Damn even in his dreams she draws a bigger crowd

The GOP has no clue what communism really is. The Dems are centrists/90s Republicans. They're far from being communists.

Edit: oh Fox News... I fucking wish Kamala would!

No, but its a convenient bogeyman for people who believe that the German party calling themselves "National Socialists" means that party was an example of actual socialism

[–] Norgur@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Because… why would mass murderers lie? That'd be naughty, they would never do that!

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

They're not really 90's Republicans. Those guys were all in on "make being gay illegal." But economically, they're definitely center-right.

Small dick energy. Also, wtf is times now news, gimme a fucking break.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's the only news source that had the image in the preview.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago

news source

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

This cannot be stated enough. It’s also a distraction. Worry more about actual election certification.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Didn't he literally just accuse her of AI generated fans? Good fucking lord he can't keep from directly hypocripsizing himself in a24hr news cycle.

Edit...

My post say 16hrs ago. HE DID IT AGAIN WITH TAYLOR SWIFT FOR FUCKS SAKE

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

'"What they are doing is a communist takeover of our country… This is Communist; this is Marxist; this is fascist," teh Republican presidential nominee further said. '

Tell me you don't know the meaning of these words without saying you don't know the meaning of these words.

(And yes this shitshow of a news site did spell it 'teh')

Almost! Kamarades. Kamalades?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea how I missed that second 'a', Kamarade

[–] ovalofsand@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Whatever the name is, i'm sure we'll all share a magnificent Kamalamroderie.

Donald Trump discovers diffusion.

It's like I'm living in a zoo...

[–] g0zer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I wish Democrats would just lean into this shit. Since anything that benefits the working class is “communism”, might as well start nationalizing airlines and electricity companies.

Give them something to actually complain about…

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This dude is the motherfuckin' BabyDick KING of projection. WOW!

The only guy in this conversation whatsoever that has LEGITIMATE TIES to Russia, and he's trying to pass it off like other people are the "real" problem. Fuckin'wow.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kamala isn't even as left wing as Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Technically her voting records put her between Sanders and Warren

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

God, if only...

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 months ago

Wait, wasn't red their colour..?

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

She can’t be a fascist and a communist. You have to pick one. Also, there’s a difference between communism and socialism.

But when you talk to folks who aren’t above a 4th grade level education this stuff slides by unopposed.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I keep seeing trump pictures where he’s convicted felon

[–] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 4 points 2 months ago

Interesting that all these democrat communists fight like hell to protect their secret stock portfolios.

[–] Sgarcnl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

With the way republicans bend the knee to piewty , they would be most closely aligned with communism, at least in its modern form.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

The satire flying left and right is legendary with that new twitter AI.
