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!

The US health system is going to be tested like never before with RFK at the helm of health. People will die. Children will die. People are dying because we allow moronic exceptions for "personal beliefs".
The blood of the dead will be on many hands from Trump to RFK to the creators of Project 2025 and many more. But most especially I'll personally blame the single issue voters who couldn't see the forest for the trees and didn't vote against Trump by voting for Kamala.
People have already died. RFK has a huge body count already (see Samoa). It will rise.
They don't care, not sure how much clearer they can make it. I agree with you though.
Part of them don't care. A bigger part simply don't understand. People are being blasted with misinformation and they don't have the tools to filter through it. The bottom 30% in cognitive competence are on the brink of mental disability. That's 100 million voters.
You can be mad at them but it'd be like being mad at a kid with down syndrome that ends up being a conservative because they like monstertrucks and wrestling and the ads between their shows tell them to be.
Fuck those who create and spread wrongful information. They're the cancer of the current age.
