Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

There is a story for everyone. For you it's Boomer for others expats and yet for others men. (Or Flanders)
Everyone gets his story so a small portion can fly private!
Exactly right. They manufacture enemies out of us and enjoy their yachts while we squabble and miss the point.
Divide and conquer is the way the right defeats the left in this country.
Put the minor conflicts aside and walk in lock step. A United front is the only way we can resist. 💪
Meanwhile I made the comment you're replying to, and yet I've been unnecessarily aggro elsewhere in this very thread, cuz damn is this tactic effective and requiring constant vigilance to counteract.
I think you and I used to fight. But with this statement I am on your side.
As it's a class war, we're all on the same side, opposite the billionaires. We just need to recognize that simple fact.
Cheers, and I love that about this place. Thanks for making Lemmy worthwhile.
Hahaha - I mean. You called me a misogynist rape apologize and followed my comments in other threads. But my trolling eventually wore you down I think. But yes - fun - glad we can be pals now ;)
For what it's worth, "followed [your] comments in other threads" is not a thing I do, I haven't bothered to go review our interactions, and I'm not curious enough to do so now, lol. I'm not that type of user.
This is a small place, and if I was commenting on more than one place you were, it's because I kept running into your comments while I was reading other things.
I speak my mind here, and the heavier the topic, the less concerned I am with politeness and civility. But I don't go in for "drama" usually, I wouldn't have recognized your name here had you not recognized mine.
I'm usually just interested in the strength of arguments, or I hold that as an ideal I strive towards, anyway. I sometimes fly off the rails, and I apologize when I feel that I've been unfair. I don't when I don't.
