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!

You know what? Go for it, Greene. Tell your constituents shit that will get them killed. Have at it. Go ham. This is what your constituents wanted. They must lie in the bed they’ve made.
And I hope they’re hurt. I hope family members of her constituents die to a disease that we have fully handled in this day and age, but that you’re far too fucking jaw-droppingly imbecilic to accept - either on evidence (which you enjoy ignoring) or on faith (which you profess to love). Go ahead. Ignore the science. Let your children and immunocompromised friends and family die. You so gleefully revel in causing pain in others. Now you’re causing pain to yourself. Fucking figure it out.
This is the “find out” part.
I mean this is unironically how it should go. People* don't change because you tell them some good arguments. They change because they'll be confronted by the consequences of their actions, and the hurt that comes along with it. It's unfortunate but it has never been different for our species.
*if you are socialized in a way to see the value in good arguments, admitting of being wrong, then arguments may work. But not by default.
Unfortunately, that's the part that makes me unable to just laugh and say "have at it". I can let my sympathies wane for those old enough to vote.
I’m on an immunosuppressant medication currently. I know perfectly well what I’m saying implies. My point is that they’re going to do it anyways, and since they are, I’m leaning in to the schadenfreude.
I'm down with that.
Klan Mom is spare parts.
Too. Much. Fun.
