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!

Anyone remember that African country, or maybe it was a tribe, where the women, ALL of them, refused sex until peace was made? LOL, that shit was done and over in a week. Can y'all women get that going in America?
Having dated heavily in the last few years, I'm seeing it here. (For context, I'm a liberal man in a conservative area.)
I was on 6 dating sites. Hell, throw some poles in the water if you want to catch fish, right? Many women had "no MAGA" straight in their profile. But women, generally being more polite than men, mostly said "no politics". "No politics" turned out to mean, no MAGA.
Talking to a girl I later dated, "I'm kind of a redneck."
"...uh... Exactly how redneck?"
"I fucking loathe Trump if that's what you're asking."
"Oh. WHEW! Sorry, just had to get that out of the way."
Play an interesting first-date game? Ask about the craziest date they've been on. My god. The abusive conservatives I've been schooled about. Guys fighting politics on the first date! Calling the woman names, bitching her out, all that. I could go on for ages.
tl;dr Women: Don't date conservatives. Cut them off.
There’s a Greek play by Aristophanes called Lysistrata that has a plot like that. Spike Lee made the movie Chi-raq based on it.
It was a Greek play by Aristophenes called Lysistrata, from 431 BC.
