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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Voting against Women's Rights makes you MORE of a pussy than voting for it.

Coming from the same ghouls that vow to "protect women" from the evil trans people.

The amendments Negrea presented on 9 March included a demand that the word 'gender' in the document's first paragraph be defined as referring 'only to men and women on the basis of biological sex, and not to subjective notions of gender identity.'

Well, that least they’re consistent?

The amendments Negrea presented on 9 March included a demand that the word 'gender' in the document's first paragraph be defined as referring 'only to men and women on the basis of biological sex, and not to subjective notions of gender identity.' The European Union, speaking through the Netherlands' representative, called on all delegations to vote against the entire package of amendments in one bloc. By a recorded vote of 26 in favour to 11 against, with five abstentions, the Commission agreed to treat the amendments as a single package. That package was then rejected: 26 against, 14 abstentions, and only the United States in favour.

I suspected this was an issue, giving women equal rights is apparently considered a slippery slope, leading to also giving LGBT equal rights. And Jesus clearly doesn't want that according to insane Christians.
Good thing they got the resolution passed without discriminating against LGBT.

Being the only one to vote against it seems like signaling the worst virtues.

Even saudi arabia choose to just abstain.

They are not as religiously fanatic as the Trump administration.
