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!

How about you can the "I'm-not-gonna-do-your-work-for-you" shit and just answer the question, if you can? Because it sounds like you're just trying to save face because he has your ass over a barrel and you know it.

Maybe we should stop being in denial about how useless the left is in this country and actually organize into an effective voting block.

And once I write his essay, taking up my time from the ongoing civil war coverage and totally unpaid labor you feel entitled to even though it's my body... once I write that, he will move the goalposts again to nowthe top 20 protests or whatever. I already listed a source that was more than adequate with many examples. Why do you need me to rewrite expert opinion? Do you lack the reading level necessary to read it yourself? If so, there are old civil rights speeches you can watch.

ass over a barrel

First off, no, he looks stupid and uneducated about a civil rights issue with decades of expert literature and second this is an insane thing to say to a woman in the middle of 'your body, my choice.' Stop with the rape talk.

Well you can either put up, or shut up.

See how I effectively countered your bullshit diatribe with one sentence? It was that easy because you're wrong.
