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!

FYI: You aren’t supposed to downvote the post just because you disagree with the headline—you are just hurting the lemmy member who shared it for discussion, not the actual author. The score of -15 on this post right now leads me to believe that some people need to hear that.

You're correct, but most people are stupid and will down-vote you for your reminder and me for daring to suggest they can't comprehend you.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, I’m sitting at +6 and you are at +2, so that doesn’t seem to have been the case.

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pleasantly surprised.

I wonder if Jim would apply that same reasoning to the UHC CEO shooter.

It's in the past, we've just got to move on

Clyburn's endorsement was instrumental in giving us Biden in the first place.

Clyburn was one of the Democrats who stumped for the anti-choice anti-labor nra stooge Henry Cuellar in order to shut out his progressive challenger Jessica Cisneros.

What I'm saying here is that he's consistent.

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Biden actually did it.
