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!

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party's potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

The national party better figure out quickly that the next election isn't going to be

"Blue no matter who"

It's going to be

"More green than blue or else fuck you too!"

As an outsider looking at American politics, "blue no matter who" is a propaganda to condition Americans citizens to always accept the lesser evil, and to not bother to try to lobby or pressure their own representatives to be actually be better.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Blue no matter who" doesn't mean "vote for the second worst person". What it means is anyone who has any shred of decency isn't a republican anymore, and republicans cannot be allowed to win at any cost, or they will very quickly backslide civil rights and start a war in the Middle East.

I think the Dems will back Mamdani, since he's going to win the primary. There are a lot of naysayers about the Democrats who think otherwise, it will be interesting to watch the space in the next few weeks.

Also, if the Republican pull his citizenship then I'm going to fucking riot.

This is the battle that determines our future. If we lose this, it's war, or submission for years or decades, and then war.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Ideologically divided, yes. That old rift between the two ideologies of "try to govern mostly okay" and "where's my check from AIPAC?".

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

That would get so much push back. I think it's more likely Mamdani receives the highest award in journalism l, unfortunately.

So, to be a republican you must be a whiny little ass baby

128 Democrats were told by their handlers to let trump do yoohoo's dirty work.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Republicans start being revolting, very early in their political careers, it seems. Maybe they are born that way.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 17 points 3 days ago

Raised that way.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If they revoked a U.S. citizens of his citizenship, that will provoke nation wide protests across the U.S., you dont revoked citizenship unless someone has done something extremely egregious, and there are very very few cases of that ever happening in the U.S. (maybe none, I havent looked it up).

I personally will not sit down and just take these wackjobs shit laying down. This country is everybody's, not just the far-right dipshits christofascist playground.

This guy has done literally nothing except want a better future for people. That's not a crime.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (7 children)

they are currently disappearing citizens who are on their way to work. what makes you think people will protest any more or differently than they are?

They've already deported US Citizens without even revoking their citizenship - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/ice-deported-3-children-who-are-u-s-citizens-their-families-lawyers-say

So, we've kinda already crossed that threshold.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

If they already claim for citizenship revokal now, one can imagine how bad it can get when there are actual elections coming ...

[–] tccpdi@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (9 children)

What will the average non-bootlicking american will do if this happens? I have hope that this kind of event would be the trigger for the passive majority to actually resist.

So fucking sick of the peter pan party

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Consider this: if ICE took him tomorrow and disappeared him, what would happen realistically?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (9 children)

Those gravy seals would be shot dead by his security detail.

That's what would happen, and why it won't.

A photo of Trump next to a normal (both in looks and mentally) person never stops being surprising, hilarious and disturbing. We all know he both looks and behaves like an absolute clown, but most photos of him are of his goons and/or other dictators (real or wannabes) who all look ridiculous so you don't get that direct comparison.
