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!

Yes, the author of this article is helping Trump promote that he "worked" at McDonald's even though it was basically a set, to make low income individuals believe that he's "one of them", and you are spreading it. You shared propaganda like Trump wants, and you knew that when you posted it.

This is not a Harris article, no matter how much you sealion and attempt to make it about her.

So do you think Harris articles are "propaganda" or only non-Harris articles? lolol

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm, I just checked it again and surprise, this article is still not about Harris.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny how you are avoiding the question though. Since you are seeing propaganda everywhere, are all the Harris articles posted here, "propaganda," or is just non-Harris articles. I mean, I now your answer, but I think it's hilarious you aren't answering it. But meh, you don't have to explain anything to me, friend.

Man, must be tiring to see "propaganda" everywhere you look. I don't know, I just post articles I think are interesting. And I'll continue to do so. Thank you! :)

"Funny how you are ignoring my invitations to a fake debate about unrelated articles (because I like to sealion and was in fact banned for doing this exact thing in the past)"

Well, you can always stop replying to me if you don't like my questions. So there's that...

And don't worry, we all know why you aren't answering the question and why you're afraid to. All good, friend! :)

"please tell me your opinion of something totally unrelated to the posted article so that I can sea lion all over it regardless of what it is, it's the only way I know. if you don't tell me I'll make it up for you so I can do it anyway"

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, I understand why you're not answering. All good, friend. Thank you! :)

no matter how much you sealion

Ya know, I was just thinking about that term the other day. And even wrote a story about it, "The Man Who Hunted Sea Lions on Lemmy."

Lemmy has been so helpful in inspiring me to be creative! Thank you! :)
