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!

Viewers are flocking to “independent” media that serves up a never-ending stream of anti-Trump content. But this stuff is intellectual poison and may even help the right.

You people whine that the left doesn't do the shit the right does.

This is what that is. You can't have it both ways.

Liberals are right-wing.

I would never "whine" that they're not doing the same thing as the right-wing, because they're constantly doing the exact same stuff. Working together in the state. Supporting capitalism/imperialism. Promoting genocide. Etc.

Their collaboration is literally how fascism retains power.

This shit is so tired... I'm aware of the difference between "liberal" and "progressive," but to suggest that the shit in question is promoting genocide, etc., then I don't think you actually know what's in this content.

Admittedly I've never watched their content and was already calling them mierdas touch simply because I cannot stand the absurdly clickbait cope titles they choose.

"Trump DESTROYED by cat on the street."

"Republicans plan SMASHED by old lady's cookies."

"GOP lawsuit MELTDOWN, it's OVER"

"Trump gets DEVASTATING news from The Onion!"

Blah blah blah blah blah.... And then like EVERY other video/article nothing happens. No one was stopped. No one was devastated. Nothing was gained by us. "They" got away with "it" as usual...

Tbh I’ve found a lot of it obnoxiously jingoistic. Like, it’s scratching the same endorphin itch, but for the not-conservative crowd.

The population is full of morons. This is how you steer them away from maga.

We tried rational discussion and reasonable, educated debates

This is how you get the turnips to turnip in a better direction

It's just cheerleading. It's not worth watching any more than a cat video or some schmuck's reaction to having heard some multi-million-selling song from the 70s.

[–] ptyghem@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's just the left's response to the propaganda arm of the right. Click bait? Yes. Untruthful? No. Slop? By definition.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

I've been watching these a bit lately, and have come to realize they are FOX for the left

[–] Letsdothisok@lemmy.world -4 points 3 weeks ago

It's so funny... never has the democratic party been so unpopular, but it is getting even louder! You'd think it would be a large following with how much we have to hear their crap, but it's just a very loud minority.
