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!

What the fuck is with that horrible picture jesus CHRIST
Surely we'll get it this time.
Hmmm....sounds a lot like vote buying.
I would love to see the Trump campaign vow to quadruple the minimum wage just to watch people on this site do their mental gymnastics to convince themselves that Trump doesn't have the power to do so, but Harris does.

I believe all promises that are made within the last 30 days of an election!
Two words: Arms embargo.
Other than that, ask the Cheney's for some more advise on how to campaign.
Did you post this in the wrong thread, or did lemmy do the thing where you post in one thread and it winds up in another?
And yes, there needs to be an arms embargo. Unless the intended thread was about Ukraine. Ukraine needs the support we're wasting on Netanyahu.

Name a more iconic duo than politicians and making promises that rely on the cooperation of other branches of government.
Politicians being bought and sold to the highest bidder of the campaign trail.

How out of touch do you need to be to offer something lower than Walmart's starting wage? And how many times have we heard this lie?

This was literally her supposed signature issue when she was running with Biden.
She didn’t fight for it at all.
Whaaaaat??
A politician making a bunch of claims right before an election and then never following through on them?
Say it ain't so! Not in my America!
Yeah it's lying season. Both sides are telling us what they think we want to hear.
This election does seem a little weird. Kamala feels like more of the same but Tim walz is right, Trump and his supporters are really kind of weird and creepy.
