Yeah I guess. I’ve only been able to get internships- good internships. But I’ve never been able to get a real job

Maybe I misinterpreted that.

What’s with all the comments about closing public schools and calling clearly fascist movements as “christian moralists”.

I see you are a @aidan fan. Here is the thing, we all will have different interpretations of political viewpoints. This isn’t a open forum for only progressives, conservatives, liberals, moderates, or whatever, it is a shared forum open to different perspectives. You don’t have to agree or disagree with anyone’s points, but we are one community and everyone’s voice can be heard (as long as it doesn’t violate the rules or lemmy.world TOS). That is why having aiden is a great asset to the team. Moderators are rarely liked, but we value his commitment to growing the community and providing insight and perspective.

Exactly what I wanted to hear.

I hope this place stays open-minded and free to discuss different viewpoints. Even if I don’t agree with certain views of one member of the mod team, I’m ok with that. As long as it doesn’t influence who can post their opinion.

Thanks for your comment and…

well, we’ll see in the future.

Currently working a good internship. Also, talk about stalking!

Edit: I also never advocated closing public schools. I advocated making them voluntary.

Edit 2: I have also been offered a few jobs but are not feasible for me since I want to live near my partner.

I wouldn’t consider it stalking but a background-check.

This community could (/will) become the biggest political forum on the web. Wouldn’t you want to know who moderates it?

You can go through my post history, nothing to hide. I don’t consider it stalking but a feature.

We will follow your journey with great interest.

And why does dissent automatically fail the background check in your book?

Of course you’re free to, it’s just I’d argue a rude thing to do to instead of judging someones actions you criticized them for being vulnerable in a completely different context days ago.

It’s a traditional right wing position to defund public schools. Right now : ‘House Republicans want to cut Title I funding by 80%’

If you don’t know, title 1 funding is money for the poorest public schools. The money is often used for nutrition programs, resource educators, special education teachers and Education assistants.

I think you might be too young and inexperienced to be an unbiased moderator.

Largely yes.

I think you might be too young and inexperienced to be an unbiased moderator.

Judge based on action, you very clearly broke rule 3 to insult me because I disagreed with you on this exact issue. You then said I should be removed from being a moderator, not because of an action but because I disagreed on this issue. I’m sorry idk what to tell you other than watch the modlogs.

Create post

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!
