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!

For real. If I learned nothing in the last few years is that people will still vote for their side no matter what. Just don’t let THEM win.
Countdown to "malaria is a Biden Fake Disease™©®! Fire Fauchi! My guy can't do anything wrong, it's the world that's wrong! Fake Disease!"
Laying in a pond of stagnant water to own the libs!
So, hydroxychoroquine is a recognized treatment for malaria, and ivermectin can slow its spread. So what ineffective quackery will Floridians decide to use instead?
"Demand for COVID-19 Vaccines Surge Amongst Malaria Outbreak"
"Zero Malaria Cases Reported After Desantis Bans Malaria Testing"
To be under pressure you'd have to care. He doesn't.
But wouldn't a meaningful response require empathy and situational awareness?
Can't he just have the state congress declare malaria illegal?
The advocates of small government only change their tune when they are hit by a real crisis. Then they realise that government is a good thing.
I guess he won’t be recommending this https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/malaria-vaccines-provide-strong-lasting-immunity
The Malaria vaccines apparently aren’t available in the US https://www.healthline.com/health-news/why-a-malaria-vaccine-isnt-available-in-the-united-states
To be fair, there really isn't a need for them until recently
