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!

Elon Musk is now under fire in multiple swing states over his election interference. 

Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has asked Elon Musk to take down an “obviously fake” video which appeared to show a Haitian immigrant who claimed to have voted multiple times in Georgia and encouraged others to do the same. 

“This is false and is an example of targeted disinformation we’ve seen in this and other elections. It is likely foreign interference attempting to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the 2024 Presidential election,” Raffensperger wrote in a statement on Thursday night.

They wanna be welcomed to the Jam.

Honestly tired of this shit. The fact that daily acts of treason are the norm in America now... The western world really needs to step up its game and stop relying on such an unworthy partner. The US doesn't even try or at least pretend to adhere to the UN human rights! It's honestly sad that we have come to the point where some considering fucking communist China a more reliable business partner. Good job America, you had it all, but clearly sucking foreign dictator cocks is more your style.

Treason is only legal if you're a rich Republican

You mean to tell me Elon is lying to try and steal an election? Shocked face!

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 27 points 17 hours ago

It's equally shocking that the fake illegal voters are always black or latino — as though it's a white supremacist / great replacement dog siren — and never a white European. Flabbergasting!

He's even "under fire“! Such unendurable hardship for the unrepentantly fascist clown!

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The next time I see the word slam it better be like that time Hulk smashed Loki into the floor

I'll have that drink now...

Have you tried the new-and-improved flavor of “slam?” It’s a BLAST

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Through the announcers table.

What Raffensperger should have said. "Only Elon Musk is stupid enough to believe this obviously fake video is real."

[–] aaron@lemm.ee 13 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Musk figured out how stupid enough Americans are.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago

and how stupid is the justice system allowing him to do anything he wants

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

he's also stupid enough to bet the farm that he can launch battery powered AGI driven products within 12 months.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Oh shit, is Elmo injured?
