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!

Its a global class war the Australian Murdoch family is a huge reason Americans vote they way they do. Also it has bled into Canada. The freedom convoy and people like Lauren Southern are paid shills for foreign billionaires.

And Eastern European oligarchs and Middle Eastern oil tycoons who are bankrolling it. It's not an America thing lol

[–] zildjiandrummer1@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago

Not only an American thing. However it definitely is an American thing.

The Murdochs all have American citizenship and don’t live in Australia.

Literally only Rupert was born in Australia, all the others are from Britain and the US.

I guess dumping all your trash in America makes your spawn American. Must be nice to throw all your unwanted somewhere to take no responsibility for your countries poison people. if you send them elsewhere it's their problem now and you can claim you're not part of it while exporting your own toxic people.

Must be nice being a racist who thinks the immigrants and their children can’t be American.

[–] Houseman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

My entire region voted for Kamala try again.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

And yet you think Murdoch and his children who are all American citizens living in America aren’t American?

[–] Houseman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

No. I can see cause and effect.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 1 hour ago

The cause is he got granted American citizenship, the effect is he is an American.
