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 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.

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.

Put every last one of these right wing lunatics in prison.
If this happens. Thats it. General strike. I already voted for myself to strike with my union. I’ll just add this to the strike list.
I am becoming increasingly sick of seeing the word 'deport' being used by Republicans who are suggesting revoking citizenship and a banishment. It's exile.
"We are all domestic terrorists"
They already told us who they are, and nothing they've done would indicate otherwise.
Deporting immigrants is one thing. But when a country starts deporting it's own citizens, and stripping them or reducing their citizenship to justify their treatment, well... before you know it, the half-citizen deportees end up coming out of the concentration camps through the chimney.
Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?
Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.
lol, they are losing it
angry ceo threatens to close grocery chain... well, that will show them 😂
They really are afraid. Very good.
Don't Republicans hate New York? You'd think they'd be thrilled with the opportunity for socialism to ruin one of the bluest cities in the US. Maybe they're worried something else will happen.
They love New York/Wall Street, because that's where the money is, but they hate all the liberal artsy stuff.
Do Republicans Know What Communism Is?
Short answer: No.
More precise answer: They don't have a fucking clue.
Most relevant answer: No and they don't really care, but they will still call you a communist and kick you out of the country if you annoy them.
Edit to add archive.ph link if desired.
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.
WTF
[It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was "no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote".

The irony of using it here would be palpable
As a perpetually online individual I could swear that "conservatives" absolutely hated "thought crime" and political persecution for their beliefs...
Ohhhhh right, hypocrisy. I almost forgot. "Conservatives" use words as weapons and are only consistent in their inconsistent stated beliefs.
As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn't sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven't ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.
Citizenship doesn't exist under a tyranny. There's only people inside the circle and people outside the circle. And the circle constantly gets smaller
Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.
Everyone was all like "ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they're campaigning".
Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don't like.
You can't win if no one is playing by the rules.
I’m calling on the federal government to strip the citizenship of every member and associate of the New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) because they are a threat to the USA.
ICE needs to step in and quickly deport them before their case can be heard in court.
The mask is off! Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to a third world prison? What a fucked up party they have become.
I've read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don't expect any support from the Democratic Party.
Appalling. Only the repugnicans would stoop this low. He’s been American since 2018. If they succeed in this - the US is truly Germany in the early 1930s.
On June 2, New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino, a Republican, wrote: "Let's just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn't even been a US citizen for ten years—much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we've ever been about. Deport."
Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: "Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn't born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It's my home. And I'm proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it."
Great clapback.
Great clapback if they actually cared about the constitution but they dont. They're arguing in bad faith and nothing he says matters.
Why do they hate democracy so much?
Because they can't win if they keep it.
Having the Government STRIP the Citizenship of Americans it DOESNT LIKE and THEN Deporting them to El Salvador or Libya is called FREEDOM!
Do it. This would trigger the uprising we need.
I doubt it. We've already tolerated a near complete collapse of the rule of law and masked goon squads kidnapping people in the streets. Disappearing one more brown guy probably isn't going to move that needle much.
The fact that a party so blatantly unconstitutional (and criminal) can get so much support in this country is not a good sign for the future of this nation. I wouldn't invest any hope in things getting better anytime soon. And I mean even when Trump is gone.
Dark future.
I hope Zohran gets a group of armed bodyguards. Sooner or later, ICE will try to disappear him.
Yeah that's not going to happen. Zohran Mamdani is in no way a threat to the US. Period.
If it did happen I bet LA this last month will look like a slumber party compared to what will happen as a result of this actually happening.
The White House has framed the upset victory by Mamdani, who could become New York City's first Muslim and Indian American mayor, as evidence of uncontrolled migration...
And by "uncontrolled migration" they mean "brown people getting uppity and not knowing their place."
That’s fascism
They really freak out when their carefully cultivated alternative propaganda reality is contradicted by ACTUAL reality, and they have to face the fact that without the ability to cheat, they can't win.
