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!

MODERATORS
Yeah they are now. but they shouldn't be don't have to be. These conservative lunatics don't understand the concept of compromise whatsoever.
.... in America. Fixed that for you
This can only improve Harris's odds in Georgia, right? I mean this certainly a renewed sense of purpose to turn out and vote for Georgian Democrats who we know if they turn out they win.
Can... you do something about it?
They have a comprehensive two-pronged approach, they start with thoughts and immediately follow up with prayers, but for the sake of efficiency, they don't actually think or pray.
No, no, the thought is "They're just a liberal crisis actor trying to take away the one thing that makes me feel cool and powerful because my life is a heap of dogshit," then they pray for you to go to hell. Easy!
School shootings (and JD Vance) are symptoms of a diseased society.
at a time like this, a leader should use their pulpit to rally people, make them believe in progress, and cushion the blow.
this guy just blows the cushion.
JDV is a scumback prick. That's just a fact of life. Our country is an anomaly among developed nations and there's absolutely no way to change it. Just wait until a school shooting happens where one of these assholes sends their kids. Will it still be a fact of life?
Jk. None of these pricks send their kids anywhere where these things happen.
I'd say "what the fuck" but I'm not even surprised that he said this. Bro is scum.
JD Vance is a couch fucking sociopath.
So are corrupt, do nothing, hot air spewing politicians. Weird coincidence?
Conservatism is a deadly cancer that needs to be eradicated to save humanity. There is no place in a modern culture for toxic, hate-based ideologies like conservatism. That's just a fact of life.
"Fact of life", Shay Dee Vance is a mentally underdeveloped humanoid. Another, "fact of life" - there is a lot of profit and money to grease politician's hands in those look-alike military gun sales for LARPERS.
Yeah, in the United States. Not in other western countries. Wonder why, JD? Maybe because it's a "fact of life" that's created and sustained by people like you...
Queue the 1980s TV "Facts of Life" theme song parodies.
- Force unwanted children into this world
- Give no childcare support
- Send them to underfunded schools
- Offer no mental healthcare programs
- Make guns readily available
- "Facts of life"
In the US...yes. Those are facts of life.
I believe the assumption is this only applies to brown children. H'wite childrens obviously go to private school and have top tier medical care.
this only applies to brown children
No. It applies to poor children. While it's true that poor children are more likely to be Brown, but it's really the poor that's the factor in this case.
U right
I don't have any stats on this, but when I think of a school shooter, I think of a white kid.
Maybe that's why there's so much tolerance for them. Boys will be boys.
The victims come in all shapes, sizes, and colours though.
He's unfortunately correct. For the wrong reason tho
It is an inherent part of US life. But the rest of the world is proving that it is definitely not part of life in general.
In case anyone still had doubts that all of their "won't somebody think of the children!" bullshit was just political theater.
Notice how Vance and the other right-wing pricks don't apply the same reasoning to abortion. Nope, in THAT case they can come up with law after law after law to address the issue. When it comes to the lives of children already here? Pfffttt... perish the thought and the child.
