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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Hopefully we the people enforce the Constitution.
Oh this is where we draw the line? Trying to get elected a 3rd time? Not when he imprisoned a shitload of children, seperating them from their families? Not when he threatened to invade your allies? Not when he incited a violent mob, trying to overthrow the democratically elected government? Not when he violated the constitution by getting elected after trying to overthrow the government?
The line is finally here?
Until he crosses it, at which point it'll be a bit farther away again.
Don't you love how the "nothing ever happens" crowd doesn't actually make anything happen.
Lemmy is largely filled with deluded children, I've found a few fighters here but it's much more effective to recruit and organize from larger, smarter platforms.
Why haven't you done anything then? Just attack people on the Internet, that's doing your part right. Fuck off.
Because I'm not american, and it's not my fight. I would absolutely love it if the american people could get their shit together, since for some reason, everything that happens in America fucks up Europe.
There is a wave of pushback across Lemmy from cynical dipshits pushing back on people trying to mobilize and more and more I'm thinking the site has its own, unfunded psy-op going on.
I don't think it's organized or funded because I don't think anyone takes the people here seriously or thinks this kind of place will help at all with any actual movements, and I am in agreement.
(You, I'm talking about you, you're one of the cynical dipshits who are not a threat to anyone and just exist to sound snide and say "no u" when someone tries to get people actually mobilized.)
I've yet to see anyone try actual mobilization. Mostly, I read vaguely phrased "Someone should do something (violent[?])" posts, followed by "I don't want to get in trouble so I can't say anything further" or "Shut up, you haven't done anything either".
Nobody posting on Lemmy is a threat.
You sound like a psy-op
How about this. I have been wanting to start an anti-fascist group called the White Rose. Are you interested?
What roleplay anime scenario are you picturing anyway? We can still turn things around if we have more social and community involvement than boasting on the internet, there are still countless progressive organizations starting grassroots campaigns to get progressives and socialists replacing the conservative figures in all of our states and counties who are propping up the fascist federal forces.
Do you need someone to google THAT for you as well?
edit: https://www.progressivevictory.win/ here's one, they need help. Ya'll need something to do besides video games and hentai.
I'm european, I'm not even welcome in your fascist shithole.
trust me it's a shit hole, I'd leave if I was able to
Lol!
Wow, so glad we're just now finally getting to that line where your years of studying the blade finally are called upon.
While you're out naruto-running through the park pretending to fight ninjas, I'll be continuing to organize my neighborhood the best I can to get involved in our next election cycle and know who's running for what positions so we can hopefully kick the legs out from under the establishment. If they can do it in fucking New York they can do it in every town in the US.
