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!

Obviously. This is the same as when the Republicans blamed Democrats for not stopping them from voting out their own majority leader.
Democrats are tired of being the Republicans’ parents. They’re tired of bailing out the red states with their taxes, only to have those same state leaders whine that Democrats are bullying them with having to pay taxes. They’re tired of having to get the economy back on track every time the Republicans fuck it up. They’re tired of having to do all the work to fix the environment while the Republicans insist everything is fine. They’re tired of having to stand up for human rights over and over again while the Republicans quote their story books at them.
If you were the farmer in this video, how many times would you save that stupid sheep before just walking away and leaving it in the ditch?
Democrats have no obligation to save the Republicans from themselves.
Personally I'm tired of having to bite my tongue in the name of peace and harmony while the right wing can say whatever the hell they want.
This is why I've stopped biting my tongue.
Preach, I'm spending my 30s embracing the powers of my autism to say wild shit to people who really need to hear it. Mask on, fuck it mask off.
