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 "attack" about her having a cheerful side is as impotent as that time they released a video of AOC dancing as part of a school project.
"Look at these outrageous people who seem human instead of looking like even dustier versions of Statler and Waldorf!"
Now I want to see an orange Statler with a comb-over and a pantyliner stuck to the side of his head.
Harris from the podium: " You guys are weird."
Trumpdorf: "I am so weird, the weirdest, you have never seen anything weirder."
Statvance: "but really, we're not weird at all."
Couch with blond wig shakily peeks above the wall: "don't believe anything he says"
Statvance knocks couch out of the box, a squelching sound and breaking glass is heard.
"OOOO-OH-OH-OH"
There’s something deeply fucked up in our culture, and it took me years to really shake it out of my brain once I realized how vile it was. And it’s essentially that your worth as a human being is tied to your productivity or your ability to contribute to the economy. Partying and dancing and art are not productive and are self indulgent wastes of time. From the eyes of a miserable bitter old Republican, a pretty young woman dancing and laughing with friends generates anger and resentment.
