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!

Ok so this imperfect Democrat is only intolerant of lgbtq+ folk.

Surely the next one will move twice back the other direction. Instead of another step closer to Republican policy. That hasn't ever happened but next time it will.

Do you listen to yourself when you speak or are you just blindly following along hoping for the best and screeching at anyone who doesn't step in line with you?

You're aware that the line is leading to Republican policy?

If you had more than two brain cells you could clearly look up her policies and see they're nothing at all like Republican ones but hey, go ahead champ, tell me how I'm wrong. Tell me also how I'm wrong as I've watched people sit out because "they weren't enthused" or "didn't bother to vote" for the imperfect candidate and it led us here- 3 decades of near unanimous Republican power IN OHIO (you know, this place where she is running) and how it's gone to shit.

But in your head you think that reversing DECADES of Republican rule will be just oh so easy right? Let's just sit yet another election out. Surely then everyone will come to their senses and reverse all these terrible laws (you know, the ones you're complaining about.)

I'm done. No use arguing with a brick wall. Have a good day.
