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!

Honestly the schadenfreude is going to be epic on this one!

Imagine being so fucking stupid you vote Trump to handle Gaza

[–] a9cx34udP4ZZ0@lemmy.world 2 points 12 minutes ago

In their defense, he'll "handle" Gaza. It turns out his "handling" is just the annihilation of any Arab within 1,000 miles of Gaza. But at least they can rest easy knowing that they "sent a message"?

I love these threads. All the shitheads pop up to get blocked.

[–] randoot@lemmy.world 86 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Well now you've handed Gaza to the butcher and good luck if you want to protest without getting arrested.

If every single Jill Stein voter had voted for Harris instead, Trump still would have won.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They’re complete fucking idiots throwing away their vote . . . but at least they went to the trouble of voting?

[–] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Voting is always better than not voting, yes.

And in a functional democratic system, voting for a candidate who's against genocide would be better than voting for a candidate who's currently part of the government supplying the genociders.

Sadly, the US aren't such a system.

Oh great, we've reached the blaming minorities part of the program.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

I blame the smallest minority: jill stein

Can't wait four the next 3 years of nothing from her.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Stein voters werent a deciding factor in any swing states. So maybe they contributed, but theres more to it than that.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 19 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

If Jill Stein wasn't there those people would've voted for someone else or stayed home. The democrats had a whole year to tell Bibi to knock it off, and they didn't.

I wish I had that gif of Dems plugging their ears while walking past genocide protestors outside the convention this year.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Who's that woman in front? Feels like I've seen her before.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

No clue, but she might be a local rep for you?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

Oh no I'm not even American. Anyway then I guess it's just me.

If true, fucking morons. You just handed the keys to the guy who is single handedly going to let the Middle East burn.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 4 hours ago

If all of these people voted Harris, Trump still won.
