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!

The economy! Awesome! So we going to raise wages. What's the plan?

Nothing?

Oh, we're going to do nothing...

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The plan.

You dumbfucks refuse to look at the good work Biden is doing and then claim he isn't doing any.

Me soo stoopid. This one 'rule' is going to completely change the entire state of things....

I'd bet this change barely adjusts for inflation.

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

This is one of dozens of things Biden is doing, I just picked the first google result.

Maybe you'd know that if you ever googled it yourself

I do admit it's an utter and predictable failure of the democrats that you should have to seek out news of the good things they do. Democrats should be shoving it in the face of low information voters.

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

You said it was the plan... but w/e.

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

Sorry I didn't explain the entire Biden economic recovery plan on detail and hand it on a silver platter to you. But yes, there is a plan, always has been, Democrats just haven't been shouting it at the top of their lungs.

I mean I never said they didn't have a plan, nor did I ask you for one. You just kinda called me a dumbass and said that that was the plan. I follow any news I can on Bidens economic plan and its just not interesting.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the plan?

Nothing?

  • your own words

Jokes.. ohhhhhh YOU thought I was speaking rhetorically directly to you. Nahh bro.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Careful you don't break the speed limit backpedaling so fast lol

OMG you're the winner of an internet argument! Congrats! A woman in a bikini will be at your house to present you with your trophy.

"On this day Cryophilia won an internet argument with someone who was being facetouis"

Good luck with your brain!

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dang, how do people as pathetic as you exist? Is your brain unable to comprehend how to admit your own mistakes?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What mistake did I make lol?

Was it be critical of the Biden administration? Was that really a mistake though?

Or was my mistake using satire to make a critique?

Was my mistake not listening to the "HE HAS A PLAN, DUMMY" guy who refuses to elaborate? Was that my mistake?

Or is it my mistake to not continue an argument with someone who thinks they can actually change my mind by being a pedant and not really giving me any new information?

I'll tell you what is a real mistake, thinking you will understand any of the things I just wrote.
