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!

These are your neighbors. Your family. They just aren't telling you. This is who they are.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Many of them conveniently have yard signs.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

My family is quite loud about their support.

I don’t talk to my family much.

OP, thank you for the unlocked article.

For anyone who doesn't want to click on the link (the New York Times tech workers are on strike), here is an archive link.

AFAIK the tech union has only asked that people not play the NYT games (like Wordle) or use the recipes section, and that news coverage wasn’t considered behind the picket line. I’m avoiding the NYT anyway, but unless they’ve changed their stance in the past day it’s not crossing a picket line.

I think thats probablt because it would be much more dangerous to distill distrust in media at this pivotal time.

Enjoy president Vance Americans. You shit the bed again. Trump will be dead in a year or will just be golfing while Vance and his project 2025 buddies run the show

If only free & consensual sex counts, Donald Trump is a virgin.

Yet a lot of women still voted for him, rather than another woman. Very disappointing results

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And women voted for him at the end of the day. So as far as I'm concerned, they voted to be treated as incubators.

And with the American people once again looking like they're going to give Republicans complete control of all the branches again, I hope women are ready to be codified in law that they are to be treated as incubators.

Imagine being a Trump voter and thinking Trump, a guy that's used and abused illegal immigrant labor and hates unions, is going to deport illegal immigrants and support unions.

Republicans would vote for a literal retard, criminal, that's going to rob them blind, just because he panders to their race. It's hilarious. This is why rural republican voters never build wealth, never get ahead, and will never get ahead.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

Oh look, a retard criminal, he's just like us

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Americans would vote for a literal retard criminal because that's a lot more than just Republicans that gave him this win.

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Americans would vote for a big bowl of macaroni and cheese if you put a little salt on it

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Exit polls showed that women didn't even break double digits in the difference between Harris and Trump.

Clearly American women don't want to be treated as equals with rights.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Terrible idea from them. Good for Kamala though.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not surprising

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I have no difficulties believing it but I would like a source to cite to my mother who is recently moved away from Trumpism.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The problem with believing isn't the people who see or are starting to see what he is. The problem is those who see who he is and approves. I bet trump is paranoid about video surfacing of him. To the extent that anything he says in private is not being recorded. So we hear these things he says and does because his employee's leak them. No video, no audio. So no real proof. Its clear we are in for a hard time. I'm male and white and I know this will get ugly. What shocks me is the amount of non white people who think he is a good thing. So I'm back to the question, would it matter.
