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!

weird way to say "if I hold demonstrably anti-science positions on old people that will hurt them if i am not prevented from doing so" but yeah, basically. You shouldn't work in an old-folks' home if you're gonna take your ignorance out on them. You're probably fine to.. i dunno.. be a trashman or a programmer or something. It would just be irresponsible of both you and society for you to work with old folk in this case.
So if your a doctor and disagree with abortions you shouldn’t be a doctor anymore?
I guess. If part of your duties include giving medical advice or arranging medical procedures for people including pregnant people, it would be irresponsible both of the ignorant doctor and society to let that doctor administer anti-science medical advice, yeah.
It seems incredibly naive to assume that any professionals personal views don’t diverge from the accepted work place stance.
Look, if this hypothetical person can control their Conservative urges enough to read modern science pertaining to their job and then act on it, and NOT act on their own beliefs, then i suppose, in a hypothetical modern, very accepting world in which this ignorance doesn't fester into fascism and in which all grievances are addressed fairly and fully, i suppose you might have some vague philosophical point and it wouldn't be irresponsible.
It seems incredibly naive to assume that no professionals personal views conflict with work place stances.
I’m sure it can and does. And theres ways of dealing with people acting on those such as dismissal. However, simply expressing those views is not a reason to fire someone. I do agree that’s it’s probably difficult for some to keep their personal views and professional ones separate, but that’s their responsibility to.
I appreciate you retreating to a more defensible mott. Swaying public opinion on a matter as a professional in a relevant field is allowing personal views through a professional mask, so we can agree that was an issue regardless.
I appreciate you ❤️
