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!

I bet you also call anyone over the age of 18 a boomer too? It must be so hard having to deal with multiple points of view, and that not everyone fits into the little boxes we need to make your brain work.
Conservatives have set a place at their table for Fascists.
If they aren’t fascists then why do they sit with them?
I guess starting my day with a little laughter is a good thing.
I gotta ask, though. Are you a boomer?
I am not. I am not even close to being a boomer. Not that it should matter, as the idea that generational birth would inform my or anyone elses values is pretty weird. You know that TV show the Witcher? Well, one of the producers for the show said that it was so badly written, because the complex nature of the stories would confuse Americans.
At the time I thought, he was wrong. But seeing you all now, its hard to disagree. Most of you are really incapable of seeing the larger picture, and cant follow cause and effect chains for longer than one instance. Too much tiktok and putting feelings of reality. You say them and they say them, but the reality is that theres multiple groups within groups all working independent of each other. Not even MAGA is all just one thing. The most obvious divide there being to release the Epstein files or not. But you all cherry pick each of the groups, for why the whole is the worst. They do it, you do it, and its all just one giant mess of excuses for being cunts to each other all the time. Its not even about winning anymore, its just about the game. About being nasty, and making someone else feel like shit.
And Im sorry, but thats just sad.
That’s quite a lot of writing for me to ignore.
Well said. It's crazy how I can agree with 80% of progressive ideals but as soon as I mention I don't want men in thongs introduced to my children I get absolutely flamed.
Yikers Island
Probably because you perform mental gymnastics to hate minorities, that's pretty disgusting
Wtf is wrong with you?
You deserve to be flamed for being any kind of bigot, no matter how good it makes you feel to be that bigot.
It won't be enabled by our society any longer, if you have a problem with trans people existing, you are objectively a horrible person.
There is no excuse you can make to be a bigot and remain a good person.
Touch grass ffs
What? I'm not even talking about trans, I'm talking about drag shows for children. Quit projecting. I don't hate anyone. Our society is teetering on perverse lines of sexuality making attraction identity a sole issue in raising kids. Public school education has the bar so low, and this is where teachers make six figures.
But there's no conversation to be had with you, with how quick you assumed who I am. I've touched enough grass. I don't sit at a keyboard.
Ignoring the associations between the trans community and drag queens is intentional ignorance and you know it. There isn't an excuse for being a disgusting bigot.
Your worldview is unacceptable for living in an equal society with others.
Im glad you're too much of a coward to ever create your fantasy world where we end "perversiveness". Like that isn't code for LGBTQIA. You know the Nazis created the word "degenerate" right? You know puritans aren't morally just right?
Lol relax. I'm not your enemy. But jeez you go through so many conclusions how you hold a conversation in real life must be wild.
