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!

Can we have a real talk?

I want them see how well they work together in extremely stressful situations... Get Kamala, Walz, AoC, and maybe uh, Sanders playing HELLDIVERS II!

Could you imagine if the presidential candidates and their VP pick had to play Overcooked together for a few hours?

It wouldn't even have to be a competition on score. You could learn so much about them so fast - their communication, ability to adapt, and how they handle frustrations.

Geez man I'd rather be tasked with deciding whether to retaliate a possible nuclear strike. That sounds way less stressful.

[–] auzy@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Yes. Please. That game is actually fun too

[–] LavenderDay3544@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Make them play Chained Together

God no. That game is horrible. Me and my friend started getting angry at each other after trying to climb that starting tower

I do not recommend . We don't want one of them to quit their job

[–] LavenderDay3544@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I played it with 4 people and we got really far. You just have to learn to communicate.

Omg that would be great. Like maximum everything too...

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 13 points 1 day ago

Sanders turns out to have no idea how to play a shooter game and the next day every news outlet reports that he defected to the communist automatons

[–] pyrflie@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

This I might actually care about and watch.
