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!

Somehow, she thought these were good talking points:
It's worth noting:
The Luigi talk was interesting and suggests there is biparstisanship on the problem of the oligarchy:
I'm also unsure why the crowd chanted "January 6th" given that the seditionists were pardoned and this is very red Wyoming. Could there be some bipartisanship here as well now?
These GOP townhalls are very enjoyable. Let's hope we see more of this.
The implication I'm getting from that January 6th chant is that they're basically threatening to lynch 'em. I grew up and am still surrounded by these ingrates, they are surprisingly murder happy towards politicians in general let alone the feds.
Found JD Vance's Lemmy account
I meant the Trumpers in particular since they can be quite annoying. Also unlike Vance I'm not affiliated with wannabe weirdo pseudo philosophers.
Lol I know, I was just thinking of Vance's "have you even said 'thank you'?"
May I have some context? I have no clue what you're referencing or at least I don't remember.
I was referring to this: https://youtu.be/ayBRXIN9Kro
Specifically Vance around 3:38
Ah that. Didn't watch any of that due to how much the whole event makes my blood boil.
Let's hope the energy leads to change. I do want to be entertained, but I want to safe first.
Maybe it was a "Let's Go Brandon" moment and they were chanting "January Siths?". Current administration does come across a bit...dark-side-y, to put it lightly...and the opposition isn't that great at branding.
Musk and Trump have sort of an emporer/Vader dynamic. Hopefully one will find their humanity and kill the other before promptly dieing themselves. A man can dream.
