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!

Mitch is a piece of shit, who has done irreparable harm to America and shares a significant amount of the blame for why the country and its government is in such a horrible place right now.

BUT I don’t wish him harm, at all. I hope he’s okay, seriously. He needs to retire. Now. And live out the rest of his life in private.

I feel like wishing Mitch harm is the same as wishing the Earth well. Dude is a cancer, I don't think there's anything wrong with hoping he loses the ability to inflict harm on others asap, and the only way he'll stop is when he's incapacitated or in the ground.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

He's cancer. You don't wish a tumor well, you cut it out and throw it in an incinerator.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think there are human that you can wish harm upon since it would be good for humanity in general. And why should be enjoy life in private, after he destroyed so many others?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Why?

The whole notion of not wishing death or harm to people in general makes sense... but to evil people? in power? who use that power to inflict suffering upon millions? Naw that's a problem that doesn't deserve tolerance.

Thoughts and prayers hahahahah

I wish him plenty of harm, he doesn't deserve to live life in peace. He deserves to live it the way he wants women and minorities to live. It's okay to wish harm on people, it's not like you're trying to cause that harm yourself

[–] Bluehood380@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yah nah fuck Mitch Bitch. I hope he dies and gets cancer in his balls and brain. And Alzheimer’s.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, not alzheimer. He shall remember everything he's done while paying for it.
