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!

What in the fuck is with this guy? He's got some kink towards punishing people without kids, or what?

It's self-hate for being a closeted sofasexual.

Alright I've seen a lot of people call this guy a couch fucker, what's going on?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Someone posted an intentionally and obviously fake post saying Vance fucked a couch using an inverted rubber glove and people just kinda ran with it

However he does really have a dolphin fetish

Oh hey I just had to learn about this!

Do any lemmy users in Europe wanna let me crash on their couch? I'm a decent cook! Please, I need out of this hellscape

My question, what about thise that have had miscarriages, stillborn, children that have died before 18? Since according to them,, life begins at conception, do they not count? Or only children that can contribute to the labor force or military service count?

And what an ass he is.

Nobody counts but him and his lifestyle, apparently. If you're not doing what he's doing, go fuck yourself.

I honestly just think he realized too late that he got suckered into a lifestyle he just fucking hates, so his jealousy turns to people living the life he wants, so he's out to make them as miserable as he is.

This is a very real sentiment in conservative circles who believe that people exist to reproduce.

[–] 4lan 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I mean that's kind of a biological fact.

I don't believe in any of that fairy tale nonsense by the way 😂

The only reason for life is to make more life, basically there is no meaning. And that's okay, somehow beautiful

The difference is humans have self-awareness. It is very clear that not having children is a great idea, and good for the country.

They only want more people to churn out more people so they can become uneducated pawns.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Can't openly buy slaves anymore, instead you subjugate them by forcing them to procreate.
