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!

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party's potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

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.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The US is already there. We arrived about 2-3 months ago.

Why do they hate democracy so much?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago

Because they can't win if they keep it.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 week ago (5 children)

This would trigger the uprising we need.

Would it, though?

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.

[–] MiyamotoKnows@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (7 children)

This is wisdom. New Yorkers do not fuck around.

I hope Zohran gets a group of armed bodyguards. Sooner or later, ICE will try to disappear him.

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

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's how you know he actually might get something good done.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago

Exactly. If MAGAt morons don't like the person, you know they're probably the best choice.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 33 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

Everyone else asks God to shoot captive bolts into MAGA foreheads but we can't always get what we want.

[–] Mammal@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (4 children)

If he does try to do this, Democrats will fall over themselves to explain why they support the action, but quibble on how the paperwork was filed to implement it.

If he does. Time for even more mass protests. Shut down the streets of New York until his citizenship is restored.

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The national party better figure out quickly that the next election isn't going to be

"Blue no matter who"

It's going to be

"More green than blue or else fuck you too!"

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

As an outsider looking at American politics, "blue no matter who" is a propaganda to condition Americans citizens to always accept the lesser evil, and to not bother to try to lobby or pressure their own representatives to be actually be better.

That would get so much push back. I think it's more likely Mamdani receives the highest award in journalism l, unfortunately.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Ideologically divided, yes. That old rift between the two ideologies of "try to govern mostly okay" and "where's my check from AIPAC?".

So, to be a republican you must be a whiny little ass baby

[–] ShittDickk@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

128 Democrats were told by their handlers to let trump do yoohoo's dirty work.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

So fucking sick of the peter pan party

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

If they already claim for citizenship revokal now, one can imagine how bad it can get when there are actual elections coming ...

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Republicans start being revolting, very early in their political careers, it seems. Maybe they are born that way.
