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 you’re making a bad faith point? That’s just not the reality we live in.
I mean if they wore a bright baby blue 70s suit with those classic over extended undershirt lapels, I’d comment, but the most we get in variation is John Fetterman.
How can you comment on content that doesn’t exist, they all wear traditional suits.
I'm making a bad faith point by asking an honest question about whether or not this is a one-time thing or sexism? Mace has a lot of reasons to be criticized, her attire doesn't need to enter the conversation. Criticizing women attire, if done more to them than men, is text book sexism. Your comment even proves my point more. You see a suit and think it's a pass, but i could list lots of male representatives whose suits or styles i disagree with! From fit, shoes, socks, or the knot of their tie! To you these things may not matter but this is the equivalent of fighting over what color dress or type of footwear a woman makes. So why does it not matter when a man wears a shitty tied knot but a pink dress and cowboy boots someone needs to comment on it and someone else needs to 'splain im the one acting in bad faith? lmao. The only difference is that by and large the population is more critical of women attire to discredit their leadership. Think what you will about her but her attire has nothing to do with her ability (or not) to serve the people that elected her.
To answer your question directly, we shouldn't focus on what any of them are wearing. Those things i mentioned about men's suits? They don't matter either.
