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!

As a leftist with conservative parents, maybe this opinion could be reconsidered.
Babies dying is bad, mkay
We know how to solve this, and the infuriating part is the people most affected refuse to listen.
We all deal with this fact differently, and I think it’s why we see some of these macabre opinions.
For the record, you’re right. We should never stop being empathetic.
You're the type of sour cunt that causes others to fail
My parents are conservative and I have the exact opposite political beliefs. People aren't born conservative, they are taught it. Wishing death on infants is just fucked up no matter how you look at it.
You know who else celebrates the death of children that they don't like? Israel. Don't you fucking dare pass judgement on children without understanding the consequences of that mentality. Be mad at the people that got them killed, not the victim.
I really am finding hard to shed a tear for the same people that want to stone homosexuals, want to murder Liberals, and are driving medical professionals out of the state causing this issue because of their fucked up policies.
Do the infants have that mentality? Sure, their parents are fucked up people, but do the infants deserve to die for the actions of their parents? Do I deserve to die because my dad voted for Trump? I was an infant once, too.
I'm not saying you have to shed a tear for the people that caused this. But not shedding a tear for innocent children that are the victims is a slippery slope you do not want to go down, my friend.
Would they shed a tear for your kids?
Yeah, they would. Not the politicians or hardcore MAGA people online, but the people in my community that overwhelmingly voted for trump definitely would. The majority of them are radicalized and indoctrinated, not evil. My parents voted for Trump but I don't think they'd celebrate my death just because of what I voted for.
You are lost, my friend. I hope you find your way that doesn't involve being happy when children die. If your fight against radicalization turns you into a radical yourself the only thing you'll accomplish is moving the target.
Might not be conservatives there, m8
Fuck them tho, right?
Fewer conservatives.
Because of the obesity in Mississippi there isn’t “less” conservatives.
Do you... Do you think people are born conservative? That'd be like saying you were born stupid.
You're spouting nonsense and hate, are you sure you're not a conservative? You seem very conservative.
You clearly didn't read that article or lack the understating of what it says.
