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!

theres only one party that thinks hunger is a political issue.
anti-science. anti-facts. anti-humanity
the regressive party strikes again
Yet they call themselves pro-life. They're pro-birth, but once you're born fuck you.
They love having more slaves
I think it was George Carlin that said they want live babies to grow up into dead soldiers.
Well, yeah - before you're born, they want you have a life; after, they tell you to get a life and quit whining. Sounds pretty "pro-life" to me!
(/s, because tone doesn't carry well in text)
Something something, "pro-life", something something. We've been here before, you all know how to fill in the blanks.
With blank checks to the causes that advance your own agenda?
.........what? Is that not what they do?
Pro-life doesn't extend beyond the womb.

Not if the faction that overwhelmingly calls itself "pro-life" is against feeding children once they're born. That's what it means when they decrease SNAP benefits and increase the administrative burden of accessing those (and related) resources.
Which is exactly what I mean.
My misunderstanding, thought it was a drive-by "nuh-uh" at first.
All good! And also I just saw my typo.
Just another hypocrisy from the far far far right.
Democrats haven't been so keen on addressing hunger. They refuse to address livable wages and keep bandaid solutions like food banks and charity.
True, but that kind of "both sides" is not helping. One side is hamstring by corporate donors and we need to primary the corpos out. The other side is actively taking food out of babies mouths, destroying public services, etc.
Both are issues, but one is truly heinous and cruel.
Can't vote your way out of fascism
True. But it's not the one you think. 🇨🇳
We're going to see soaring poverty in red states, with government officials saying the lazy stupid people are at fault and we're better off without them.
We're going to see soaring poverty in blue states, with government officials saying they just don't have permission or money or professional capacity to do anything and they're just really sorry about it. Thoughts and prayers.
And then we're going to hear how bad things wouldn't be happening if you'd just voted for the correct party, despite neither party dominant state seeming to have any solution, save to accelerate mortality among the lower classes.
Fuck off, troll
