Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Yep! Instead of following the person around, and pointing out unimportant facts, and being mad just because someone is not voting the way they do.
Plenty of people who make comments to me daily who would receive that icon.
And they comment just because they're mad that I'm not voting for their presidential candidate. Isn't that weird, that someone would be so upset by that that they'd comment to me almost daily?! And follow me around on Lemmy?
And all because I'm not voting for their presidential candidate or being baited into getting mad when they try to shitpost. But hey, people are strange, man...
Have I ever been mad at you for who you are choosing to vote for, are you trying to derail the conversation and look like a victim right now?
If you would like to share a comment where I’ve gotten mad at you for wanting to vote for Cornel West or whoever you’d like show us all the receipts please or stop uncivilly accusing me of untrue things.
Does that mean you’re agreeing that it would be a good thing?
Oh gosh, what made you think I was talking about you specifically?
Is there a particular reason you assumed I was talking about you? I mean, have you done any of those things that I outlined?!
You constantly accuse me of such but you never bring the proof.
I think you don’t like being challenged to explain yourself.
So wait, are you doing those things I outlined? I mean, are you following me around on Lemmy? All because you're mad I can't be baited and that I won't vote a certain way? I mean are you saying you are doing that or that you are not doing that? I'm confused.
It’s a small platform, when you post and comment over a thousand times in ten days you’re going to see some familiar faces.
You’re accusing me of this like you did in the PMs I shared but you are unable to share proof because it doesn’t exist.
So are you saying that you are following me around? Or that you're not? I'm confused.
But I guess it doesn't really matter because this conversation isn't about the article I've submitted. So please keep comments focused to this article in this thread and stay civil. Thank you.
Which part of this do you need clarification on?
I think it’s pretty clear what I’m saying.
I think the mods do a great job here keeping the sub how they want it and don’t need you being the tone police.
I agree. But I can choose not to respond to you anymore in this thread if you don't have anything I feel like talking about since it doesn't apply to the article I have posted.
So I won't be replying to any more of your comments if I don't feel they are related to the article I have posted.
As is my choice. Thank you!
I ask for proof about your accusations towards me and you’re unable to continue this conversation.
This screams of high-quality good faith contributions to this platform.
I have already told you that if you want to converse with me, then it will have to be about the article I posted.
If you have any issues with any of my posts, then you can feel free to report to the mods. They do a great job of moderation for this community. Thank you!
You’ve made eleven comments and twelve posts since I last updated that, it’s not like you don’t have time.
Is it because you don’t have proof for your accusations?
This has nothing to do with the article I have submitted and you seem unable to stay focused. So no more comments from me to you in this thread. You can feel free to keep taking screenshots of how many posts I make. Has nothing to do with this community though. Thank you!
If you’re running low on answers to the questions or proof about your accusations I can understand why you’d want to slink away.
You're doing the Lord's work here, SatansMaggotyCumFart.
(Their tone bugs me)
To keep this on topic, all these third party candidates really need to get more low level candidates going. Without a foundation across the country, they will only be seen as a joke at best. (This comment is so deep, I doubt anyone will see it, lol)
