Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

(Sorry about the two deleted comments. Lemmy errors.)
You’re applying a massive false equivalency. If you consider Soros’ PAC donations “dark money” then sure, it’s easy to hand-wave in a concocted narrative of suspicious extralegal manipulations, which is the best you can do because as you contradictingly put it, “it’s been well documented” while also being ignored. Meanwhile, WE HAVE THE GODDAMN RECEIPTS that right wing billionaires are bribing sitting Supreme Court justices to rule in their favor on cases in which they are directly involved.
Soros is being ignored by the media because there is no story. If there was one, there’d be SOME kind of actual proof considering you have a hundred million right-wing conspiracy nuts like yourself who are desperate to find it. Instead there’s just vague misattribution of every PAC donation to be some shady, secretive, dark money deal. And that’s the best that can be done by Fox News, the largest and most powerful news network in the country with the backing of WAY more billionaires and more money than Soros.
So stop being both geniuses and constantly outplayed by the scary Jewish Illuminati while accusing the left of being both incompetent and evil masterminds. Your reasoning is simplistic and shallow. You are grossly partial and you hold your political “enemies” to a profoundly higher standard than you do yourself and your side. It’s unfair, it’s indecent, and you make America worse for it.
I better not hear you or any of your leftists buddies here bitch about the Koch brothers then.
Another lazy false equivalency. The Koch brothers spent fortunes to undermine democracy and flood social media with disinformation. Soros did what? Give me one proven example of unfamiliar or unethical aims.
