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!

It's so weird how much these assholes hate freedom. I mean, for the party that wants "small government" and "liberty".

LOL.

Yup. We warned you, they told you and still 53 percent of white women, including a large increase of young women voted for this.

Enjoy it ladies/property! You've earned it!

fucking gross.

edit - i work with dv victims/victims of abuse. tell me why your "lol comment" is any better than the shit women tell me every day they hear from their abusers?

Maybe that's a question you should be asking your fellow 53 percent of white women, including 10 percent increase in young white women why my "lol comment" is any better than what the entire MAGA candidate spouted as a platform that made then for vote for this behavior.

If you want to call me just as bad as an abuser for pointing out that white women voted to enable this behavior, that's fine, it really doesn't bother me because I voted for not enabling this behavior. What does bother me is that 53 percent of white women, including a 10 percent of young white women voted to enable and embolden misogyny.

You should really talk to other white women if you want to fix things.

Because it might nudge more people to be part of the solution.

Yup, I saw a young woman supporting republicans due to the bandwagon effect and I'm like they're about to eat your face.

Honestly, I think women like in my state that voted to protect abortion right in the state constitution but voted the living fuck out of Republicans, they're just selfish, racist, assholes. The idiot "I've got mine" mentality thinking that just because because they voted in abortion, they can vote in Republicans to screw over everyone else over it doesn't affect them.

And now leopards.
