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!

Tell us again how Allred and Gonzalez were running for city council and dogcatcher.
I already called them despicable. Do you want me to suck your dick too? I'm pretty done with the Dems too. I dgaf any more
After trying to pretend that they were running in backwater races of no consequence.
So what
So the cowardly betrayal of trans people exists at a higher level in the party than your lies indicate.
You seem to be under the false impression that I am here to defend the Democratic party. Let me dispel any notion of that: I am not. Two things can be true at the same time: the democrats can suck and the Republicans want to drag us to hell. I dont know what the answer is tbh. My goal is to minimize harm in a FPTP system. I only have so many options in front of me. Not participating is also a moral choice, but a moral choice that carries serious consequences. It doesn't matter anyway. Democracy is way past us at this point if the next four years are what I expect.
Lying to minimize the betrayal of trans people does point in that direction, yes.
Yea man. You got me. Hoooollyyyy shiiiiiitttt.
If you don't like people pointing out when you lie, don't lie.
