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!

Wtf is wrong with these people?

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 102 points 1 year ago

They're cowards with no principles.

Factionalism. They truly won't stop at anything to be a team player for their party, even if their party is being run by a guy who doesn't value American institutions and tried to overthrow democracy to stay in power. They are a straight up cult, and regular, decent Americans better get ready to fight back in 2024, or shit is about to get real, real bad.

Not to mention all the rhetoric trump spewed at Kemp; prompting death threats at him- and his family.

"You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. [...] You know… morons."

The entirety of the Republican Party is in an abusive relationship with Donald Trump.

Regressives or cultservatives. What would a cuckservative even be. Sideman or King, I guess?

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Example: Raul Cruz from Texas when Trump talked shit about his wife. Then he ends up doing this:

What kind of behavior is this if it ain't cucking? 😂

[–] FUCKRedditMods@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

Bunch of spineless self-interested cowards

[–] Craig@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

What a weak man

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 20 points 1 year ago

The GOP still practices the ancient Chinese tradition of all non-royal males in government positions are required to be eunuchs.

[–] Im14abeer@midwest.social 19 points 1 year ago

Not a shred of self respect or integrity, zero.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Trump tried to fuck him over and he's bending over and asking for it this time.

IIRC there were rumors he was considering a run for congress after his term as Gov is up. Regardless, that fuck has been the most openly corrupt piece of shit we've ever had as governor in recent memory. The simple fact that this motherfucker was allowed to oversee his own fucking election as Lt Gov and refused to recuse himself from those duties, told me all I needed to know about that chucklefuck. The asshole has made it his sole mission in this state to disenfranchise as many minority and democrat voters as possible. I have to check every fucking election season now to be sure my voter registration hasn't been revoked because of his illegal bullshit. Fuck Brian Kemp, hes a spinless coward with no morals, just like every other GOP piece of shit!

[–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

These people are fucking sick.

[–] Unaware7013@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] foiledAgain@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Lick? These fucks are gargling shoelaces at this point

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

It’s the way of the coward.

[–] books@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ugh I absolutely hate the team sport mentality of politics.

I'm absolutely ok with voting for the other option if my main candidate is a crook/huckster.

[–] jerome@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

They're a crime ring.
