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!

So much fearmongering. I'm new to Lemmy, and it seems to me that the Kamala campaign has infected Lemmy as well, just like they have Reddit. Looks like I'm not safe from leftist echochambers even after switching to Lemmy.
Fearmongering? The republican presidential candidate talked about using the national guard / military on "radical leftists"/"the enemy within". If that's not a threat/fascism, what is?
That's what I've been asking the magabrainz in my life when they object to the f-word. I ask them if this doesn't count as fascism, what would count, in their view?
So far, no cogent responses. All emoting.

Here ya go bud.
I understand wanting out of echo chambers but this has been everywhere for awhile.
I'll do more research on this.
Yes, I do. The media has a reputation of taking things Trump says out of context to the point where you'd have to go look for raw interview footage to confirm for yourself.
Do you like cram the night before a test as well? I've been watching his interviews and rallies intently up till now, I don't understand this desire to procrastinate homework while talking like you did the assignment.
