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!

The WNBA rookie was the toast of the right-wing media earlier this year after an on-court showdown with her old NCAA nemesis Angel Reese. Clark came out to denounce the likes of Fox News and Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy for using her as a pawn in the culture wars, saying it was “unacceptable,” but she has always kept quiet about her political affiliations until now.
Huh, the fascists celebrating a female athlete? Sounds suspicious.. I wonder if it's racism..
Yup! 🤦
Good on her for putting them in their place when it would have been so much easier to betray her principles by keeping quiet! ✊
Well, those redneck assholes can go back to losing if that’s what they’re into. They made her get political and meow they’re mad about it. Fuck'em.
Conservatives going haywire when a woman has a different opinion than them is a tale as old as time. Before Switf it was the Dixie Chicks. Before that it was John Wyane trying to get a chance to assualt Sacheen Littlefeather for speaking out against genocide and the depiction of her people.
Alright meow, hand over your license and registration

What is this, endorsement endorsements?
Just a story about how much information metadata conveys.
Her like was an endorsement, even if she didn't make her own statement.
Racists are in shambles right now...
Over the years they latch onto literally anyone white and claim they're on the same side. They did it with Taylor back in the day. And Caitlin recently.
Any white person who lives in a red state knows how fucked up that is. I can't even count how many racists just fucking assume that since I'm white I'm also a shitty racist. It's insane the type.of shit these idiots will say in the smallest amount of.privacy to someone they think they agree with

YUP!
Try being a white male with a beard...
I tried that once. Yeah it was real fucking bad. Thankfully they mostly stopped talking to me since I quit the whole beard and male things.
My favorite comeback is, “my husband would be furious you said that!”
Oh, that looks on their faces…
I don’t have a husband, but it’s worth every eye popping gasp they utter
That reminds me of how Stephen Fry would stop homophobes from beating him up in school:
He'd use their homophobia to his advantage by loudly saying "stop! Stop! I'm getting an erection!"
Holy shit, that's beautiful! How do they respond?
They most often don’t, which is the point ;)
I live in Florida and work at an orange-themed home improvement store. The store, itself, is surprisingly LGBTQ-friendly, but, every once-in-a-while I’ll hear something not-so-friendly from a customer. As I work in both sales and customer service, the point is to shut them the fuck up while also being terribly polite. And I certainly don’t want to continue the conversation with them or get into an argument.
Lol.
I know. I literally look like the poster for the Aryan Brotherhood, including the big red beard common in Appalachia. Not really shit I can do about it, but when a white supremacist thinks of the ideal "us" I'm what they picture in their head.
They tend to shut up now pretty easily, but I got in my fair share of scraps when I was younger over it.
Cold cock a couple Nazis at local punk shows tho and pretty soon Nazis stop showing up to local punk shows.
They ain’t gonna learn they ain’t welcome any other way
