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!

Jesus. Thats all they got, huh?

Fighting "wokeness."

No jobs plan, no plan on Healthcare, no plan on education, no plan on housing, it's just wokeness. I hope Gen Z makes sure their registration is in perfect order next year.

The scary part is, it's working.

"ECONOMICS is a secondary matter. World history teaches us that no people became great through economics: it was economics that brought them to their ruin. A people died when its race was disintegrated. Germany, too, did not become great through economics."

  • Adolf Hitler

Yeah. Hitlers great notion that economics are a secondary matter killed millions, split the German country into two, destroyed the economy of Europe, and visited one of the greatest man made horrors on the world.

I'd pump the brakes on quoting the guy if that's your first thought about the upcoming presidential election.

I imagine that was entirely their point.

I think the goal was to show political leaders who only focus on culture war issues are charlatans.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You think I was comparing somebody to Hitler because I supported them?

[–] Redditsucks1 4 points 1 year ago

On Healthcare they have anti abortion. That's a positive in their eyes! Hopefully their clickbait tactics are losing touch with the voters.

It's easy to figure out what the Republican Party doesn't want. They never tell me what they actually want.

[–] TokenBoomer 2 points 1 year ago

Hard disagree. Neither party can spot a clue even if Steve helped.

tldr

if KY voters care more about the gender issue than they do at the incumbent party's failed sky-is-falling economic policy, then KY will switch Red
