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!

Lets not get too excited. This is probably just the same crowd getting rid of her because she's an ethnic woman.
on the real though, an ethnic woman in america being a GOP representative feels like the poster for futility. Like, does she know what the overall agendas are for her political party?
Like so many delusional women and minorities in the GOP before her, she thinks she's immune from the inherent bigotry of the party because she's "one of the good ones".
the only people in the modern GOP who are concerned about racial or social groups are the white power faction. Everyone else is just in it for personal gain, without concern for how "their people" are doing.
Nah, they liked that she was black and in qanon. Gave them someone to point to when they were reminded of their parties racism.
What they dont like is that she deliberately pissed off the "country club" republicans that spend the big donor bucks and didn't pull in any of the small donor MAGA dollars she said she would make flow in. Now they have no money and have to oust the "populist" leader whose lies they loved a year ago in order to toadie up to the old donors.
Its just a money/hierarchy thing.
She's no more or less "ethnic" than anyone else.
