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!

What exactly were you expecting when you shifted to the Reddit alternative whose main developers were communist? You're either clueless or a bot.
In their defence why would you expect them to know about the political stance of the devs?
Honestly, I think they're a troll account. In general Lemmy took a bit more effort for me personally to sign up to vs Reddit, I had to figure out an instance and roughly how it worked before signing up and the political stance of the devs came up. I mostly assumed most people went through a similar process.
If you read my comment, I said I'm new here. That is my first ever comment here. How was I supposed to know that the website was being ran by tankies? I've jumped from the frying pan into the fire. I can't escape far leftists. And they want to put a communist and a known warmonger in office. We're so cooked.
Lmao if Kamala was a communist more people on Lemmy.ml would've voted for her.
Evidently clueless in more way than one. No worries botski
Np. I can see that Kamala's army of astroturfers from their discord server have already dealt with my comment.
Lol what? What discord server? You may find that even discord is slightly looked down upon here.

Um, what?
Not just a conservative news paper: Conspiracy Theories, Propaganda, Failed Fact Checks.
I'm not the person you responded to, but I prefer my news sources to not fail fact checks, push propaganda, and spread conspiracy theories.
Do you know how stupid that is?
You even use the dehumanizing rhetoric that extreme right people are using in order to make it easier to see them as less than human.
Why would anyone trust them after they've failed numerous fact checks? You're literally trusting an outlet that's pushing fake news.
You aren't welcome here. Bounce on back to Reddit.
Asking as a non US citizen: why do you believe Trump is better than Kamala? Just objectively curious.
It's not Trump that I believe in. It's RFK Jr. But since RFK Jr joined forces with Trump, a vote for Trump is a vote for RFK Jr. Any genuine RFK Jr supporter knows that.
First, A lot of the far-left authoritarian users are in other instances, like lemmy.ml. Those communities are easy to avoid and users from there easily identified.
Second, I can only guess you're talking about Harris when speaking "a communist and a known war monger". Speaking as a former libertarian Republican (who left the party when Trump took over), Harris isn't communist or far left. That's 100% right-wing propaganda. America's Democratic party is pretty conservative compared to liberal and leftist parties in Europe and isn't that much to the left of the pre-Trump Republican party.
As for the known warmonger, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Um, tankies? I don't think that means what you think it means.
A tankie is another name for a communist.
That's simply not true, but by happenstance the particular communists in question are tankies.
🤨 I've never heard a right-winger, or even a liberal use that term.
Good for you I guess...?
