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!

I mean, I already said what I meant: that you accuse anyone to the left of netanyahu of being maga so you have an excuse to dismiss them.

Now please, do like you did once before and deliberately choose to misunderstand what I said. It's not like you've ever communicated honestly before anyway.

So you actually do think that I think Biden is a MAGA?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If he ever disagreed with you to the left, you would call him maga.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So just anyone to MY left. I don't get how Netanyahu fits into it

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was an exaggeration. Though I don't think I've ever seen any daylight between you and netanyahu.

Well, I'd like to jettison him into the sun for being an unapolagetic genocidal war criminal, and I work night shift, so that's pretty much literally the maximum amount of daylight possible between us.

Until the instant that anyone suggests that democrats shouldn't have outfitted his genocide for him.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My thinking is, we can build a spaceship big enough to throw him AND Putin into the sun

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Until a democrat supports him. Then anyone who isn't ecstatic is maga.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's funny, the only "democrats" I've seen supporting Putin have been...well, "Leftists"

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And as always, you have chosen to deliberately misunderstand what I was saying. You know damned well I was talking about netanyahu.

You're completely incapable of ever arguing honestly.
