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!

Do Republicans really hate America this much?

It's been over 10 years of this. When hostile foreign nations are constantly angling to hurt Democrats and support Republicans, how can you honestly tell yourself that you're on the right side of this issue.

I'm no fan of the fucking US government, especially because they do the same kind of shit to other countries, but that's the damn point, we're trying to fucking do better and the people who maybe could do better for us are being ratfucked by hostile foreign governments who always suspiciously support Republicans. I get that a lot of Democrat senators and house members are scum, too, but that leaves a whole large swath of the party (especially at the local levels!) who are not.

I just feel like if it was clear nations that had vested interest in our nations failure on the national stage was always supporting Democrats, I'd be a little skeptical of it. The fact that Republicans aren't screams volumes.

Do Republicans really hate America this much?

Yes. Absolutely. They despise all of the best aspects of America and longingly cherish our worst histories.

Do Republicans really hate America this much?

Yes.

Because it's not just theirs anymore.

The last time dixiecrats, now republicans, felt like they didn't control the country, they declared war on it.

What else do Republicans have anymore? All their morals/ideals/principles were sacrificed at the alter of Trump, and nothing else matters anymore. Winning (at any cost) is all they have.

It’s not that they hate America. It’s that America stands between themselves and power/wealth.

They don’t give a shit about America or Americans, but they don’t hate America. I definitely do think they hate the poors though.

They like being in charge of America.

Russia is not alone in its activity. Microsoft also saw efforts by a China-linked group, known as Storm-1852, spreading content on social media critical of both Harris and Biden. However, Microsoft found that many of the individuals posting for the group went silent after this content was spotted. Chinese influence groups were identified earlier this month spreading content exploiting divisive issues in U.S. society.

But but Putin said he supported her!!! You mean that piece of shit was lying?

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, Putin was lying when he said he was backing Harris? How can I ever trust him again?
