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 am not down with this name. Can we just keep calling them scumbags?

  1. Not intellectuals. Fucking obvious.
  2. Not on the dark web. They're on YouTube, Twitter, and Spotify.

I propose calling them dipshits

Imagine calling a a guy who owns a .com and another dude whose podcast is exclusive to the largest audio streaming service in the world "the dark web."

Nobody:

Capitalism: "tune into the only freedom fighters on Earth standing up to the corporate elites — mr fascist billionaire and mr fascist meathead millionaire — only via your EvilCorp ShillBox subscription"

Ooooohh. They're so dark! And webby!

[–] Zier@fedia.io 20 points 3 days ago

Dark web, LOL. More like employees of putin, inc.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 23 points 3 days ago

Spreading that term is a hate crime against education.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Using the term "intellectual" in the loosest sense possible, of course.

The intellectual dark web just won the election!’: meet the coalition of Joe Rogan, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and Elon Musk

I thought this was an Onion article.

Shitty name though as these clowns barely share a brain cell.

It seems Donald Trump has assembled a crack[pot] team of the most [in]competent people to run this country
