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!

5 Jews, 3 blacks, 2 former klansmen, and a Nazi sitting at a table is an "intervention", not a table with 11 Nazis.
The idea that a Nazi infects everyone he comes into contact with and is utterly irredeemable is horseshit. The only way he stays a Nazi is if he never associates with anyone but Nazis. Your "11 Nazis" adage promotes isolating him among other Nazis, ensuring he is never exposed to any other philosophy.
Is that who you think the Republican Party is made up of?
I think that a table with 10 people of diverse religious, genetic, and philosophical backgrounds, plus 1 Republican is not a table of 11 Republicans.
Okay, but this is a Republican who votes for other Republicans. So that doesn't sound especially diverse in terms of religion, genetics or philosophy.
I have voted for republicans, and Democrats. Am I a nazi?
I like @Rivalarrival@lemmy.today analogy. That group is made up of a ton of different people, and I don't think they would all personally support each and every questionable BS policy proposed by the party. But we don't get that level of choice. Maybe if there was more groups/parties, or none at all, they would vote a different way. Maybe they aren't so much voting for things, but voting against something else.
I know people who won't vote for a party over one issue, otherwise they would consider it.
Did you vote for Republicans who agree with the modern Republican platform? If so, yes. You are. Because you vote for fascists who want to implement fascist policy. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
Which thing is so fascist?
Then I guess I could know who that was?
What's your definition of fascism in the context of American society? I saw your questions, but I don't know that those things are what the whole political party is about.
You didn't answer my question.
This is a Republican who is suing to kick Donald Trump off the ballot. Right now, that's good enough for me.
