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!

Good. Scammers need to be called out and avoided at all costs.

A vote for Stein is a vote for Trumph

Shouldn't be hard to convince anyone not to vote for her who doesn't hate minorities.

Just let him know that David Duke endorsed Jill Stein.

If that isn't a literal mic drop on her campaign idk what more can be done. Just make sure everyone knows before they approach a voting booth.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Duke endorsed Stein because she does not support Israel.

The Stein campaign called David Duke trash and disavowed him.

The dishonesty here staggering.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Lmao bro David Duke is an overt white supremacist. The association alone is damning, despite the disavowal.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

The association alone is damning

He just said he supports her. That's not an association. He agrees with her on her policy towards Israel. Unless you think her policy towards Israel is unreasonable and only would be held by a white supremacist, then its a ridiculous position to try and maintain, because it basically says that anyone who opposes us support of Israel agrees with David Duke and thus is "associated" with him.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh, the Nazi agrees with her stance on Israel? I mean, fuck Israel, but I wouldn't want that endorsement on me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

And she denounced him. So clearly she doesn't want it either.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mental gymnastics Olympic event right here. Not at all surprised to see Nazis and KKK fighting for the gold.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I made my point and can defend it. You just hand waved it away with some empty accusation.

It's clear who has more faith in their position. Both you and I know it too.

What am I supposed to do? Repeated that an endorsement is a one way thing?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I was just curious what you'd say. I agree with you 100%

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I see you're continuing to defend former KKK leader David Duke.

If you're wondering if I care to hear your defense, I don't.

Cheers!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol in what fantasy world have I been defending David Duke?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

So...you lie about what a poster said and then block them when they call out your lie. This is an incredible level of intellectual cowardice.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Your argument is that anyone who does not support Israel is a KKK member.

Duke is endorsing for Stein, because Stein does not support Israel and Duke is antisemitic.

Koch's is voting for Harris, because she works for the billionaire class and he is a billionaire.

One of these two is not like the other.

Isn’t this just effectively giving her more attention? I’m not convinced that this helps. I’m old though.

I have great hope that they'll be better than our generation, just as we were better than our parents. Fuck the 'fuck the kids' mentality.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm a classroom teacher, and I find that you've gotta sometimes have both "fuck them kids" and "for the kids" in different measures. But overall, I feel like they're doing a lot of cool things.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a good point. I think that one of the myths that needs to die is that if the cherubic, sweet, innocent, and pure child. Many children, without guidance, are sociopathic assholes. We're not born "good" then corrupted by the world, we're born with some personality traits that may or may not help us as social creatures and need help to learn how to handle our emotions and cooperate with others in a manner that is pro-social.

Young women are alright, right wing support amongst <35 y.o. men is surprisingly high...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Agreed. I'm a teacher and see it in my classrooms. I often feel that they're not taught how to have healthy community, so they become lil fascists...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

If they're like my nephew, the "manosphere" gives them easy answers as to why everything seems to suck.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's also the only answer. Society has really neglected boys for a long time now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yup. Patriarchy did them dirty. Society told them they had to be strong, stoic, and without emotion. And when that butted up against the realities of being a human we didn't have any community to lead them towards living a good and healthy life.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can fault the Right for a lot of things but they got there first on this one. They have a story for why things suck and they’re pounding the drum on it relentlessly. It doesn’t matter that this story is full of holes when the alternative is not compelling.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Yup. The propaganda machine moved quick when they realized this population could be manipulated into action outside of message boards.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Patriarchy did em dirty, but feminism also left them behind. It's not just patriarchal society that forces men to be strong and stoic, it's also self-professed feminists, especially women. Feminists say men should be more in touch with their emotions, but when they do so women have no interest in them. That's one of the realities of life you mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (11 children)

You need to hang out with better women, my man.

Personally, I find my experience to be much the opposite. But, I'm also in my late thirties so, experiences may differ.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (15 children)

That's still patriarchy, my guy. They've been raised to be complicit in a system that doesn't benefit them, and they're perpetuating it because they don't like how it feels to step outside of it.

Yup. And it's always women and brown folks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't forget LGBTQ and furries. 🙄

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

The amount of times I've had to address the "students using litter boxes" schtick is absolutely mind boggling.

It's always a school two towns over, and it's always someone who has no attachment to the school attempting to push it.
