Calm down, everyone. Remember, both sides are the same. Harris would have been absolutely no different.

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 proper response to "your body, my choice" is "your nuts, my knee."
just tell them to remember Lorena
We're talking kids threatening other kids here. Lorena Bobbitt will mean nothing to them. A knee to the nuts, on the other hand...

The correct response is "If I'm going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist"
I see this as a net positive at the end of the day. Yeah it's fucked up, but the fascists have already been given enough rope to hang themselves.
There's no anonymity on the internet anymore, you pull this shit and it kinda ruins your life.
Sometimes the trash really does take itself out.

At least all these undatable men are outing themselves so publicly.
Start making a list ladies!
Probably going to make 4B more of a thing.
Also: Nick Fuentes has been out as very undatable for a long time.

What do you know. Turns out progress (in corporate hands) brings us back to the 18th century.
Good luck to all the women in gilead. May the lord open or whatever the fuck you say out there.
Under his eye?
Isn't this kind of shit that you guys have the 2nd amendment for?
women shouldn't need to kill people in order to live in the US. And their assailants almost certainly also have access to firearms because, the US (either legally or in violation of red flags etc).
people shouldn't need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
Shouldn't? Shouldn't.
Does, tho.
people shouldn't need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
This has been a sad necessity for most of our species' existence. Recent history is the most "civilized" we've ever been.
Ideally we move forward not backwards :(
If such a metric (being "civilized") could be graphed, I'd imagine it would be an oscillating sin wave on a slight upward trajectory.
How sad due to the internet, this is spilled over to the younger generation.
statistically younger generations tend to skew more liberal. Now we know why Musk bought Twitter propaganda.
I will tell you that middle schoolers these days just say the dumbest shit. Like lines they've heard others say but have no idea what it means.
And they argue over the dumbest shit too. Anyways this is just me saying this story fits well with my current understanding of young kids in school. I think its only news because it related to trump and the election, and thats worth money nowadays.
Remember, the news stories we are served are chosen by profitability rather than social impact.
As someone who grew up pre-Internet, I will say that the Internet was not required for middle schoolers to say dumb shit. In fact, as I saw the "information superhighway" blooming, my hope was that the dumb shit would be squelched a bit by people being able to look up and fact-check all the really stupid stuff I'd hear.
That didn't pan out, and in fact, I wonder if Gen Z will be one of the very most reactionary "generation" to come down the pike. Boomers got a lot of shit despite a lot of them pushing leftward very hard when they were young, and now I'm hearing lots of dumb things about Gen X and Gen Y (and people in the Gen X age bracket falling for "but mah expensive bacon" I kind of get - both age groups are perhaps in the place where they are caring for older parents AND younger), but Gen Z?
WTAF. I mean they are very, very young, and they broke right? When donnie was the option? I seriously do think the Youtube/Tiktok effect is being seen here...

Get off of social media. I may even destroy this account. Fuck the Internet.
