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!

The GOP wants to bring us back to the 1950s or earlier.

1850's. Definitely the 1850's.

They'd go back further but they can't count that far.

George Washington did not have any children by blood either, so got to be before 1789

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 10 points 1 month ago

is 1488 too far?

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

But he was a man.

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Surely he was far too progressive for them. Although apparently “father I cannot tell a lie” was not actually a quote of his and has been mis-attributed all these years. So Liar: CHECK.

Absolutely the MAGA dream is back to slavery and women not having the right to vote.
End women's suffrage!

If you make a poll about ending women's suffrage, most will actually be for it!
Probably because they think it has to do with suffering, but funny anyway.

You can almost smell the salt from the tears they where crying when they realized she did not have kids.

They absolutely wanted to use them against her.

“Those kids must miss mom horribly with all the campaigning” “She never talks about her kids, are they allright”

Kamela is neglecting her kids they should be taken away

Instead they found a career focused women and they’re so mad about it they are projecting once again.

They are mad that she does not have kids that they can attack.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago

She does have kids as a stepmother. They just apparently don't count that

[–] basmatii@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Attacking her for being responsible and not having kids in the world her generation fucked beyond all hope of repair is a weird angle; at least no one can confuse it with an attack from the left.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What is worse, not having your own kids but helping raise man’s kids with another woman or having kids with three different women?

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

These both sound like valid lifestyles assuming everyone involved is informed and consenting, neither are worse, because neither are bad.

Good for Kamala. It is not the same as back then.
