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!

Yeah... we just call them christofascists these days.
I just call them Republicans means the same thing now
Yup. Always has been. Proven time and time again.
Classic. You continue to generalize while ignoring the large diverse reasons these idiots vote this way.
Sure, lets start with racism, homophobia, ignorance, religion and greed. What other reasons do these idiots have for voting for politicians even pond scum looks down on?
Either way, they're supporting shitty people and making life worse for everyone else just because they can, so fuck em.
Because they are idiots who don't like the idea that government is imposing on their lives. Forced healthcare, gun restrictions, food restrictions, etc. But yeah let's paint every single one of them as Nazis. That's definitely healthy.
L2read friend, I never said you/they were Nazis, you just might be super sensitive to the fascistic nature of the party. Might be something to reflect on.
I only mused on why idiots constantly vote against their own best interests and continue to elect people that actively make their lives worse. The fact you list 'forced healthcare' as a reason to vote for these dipshits is honestly more sad than anything. But hey, enjoy your freedom to pay for the opportunity to be told to fuck off and die when the insurance don't pay your medical procedure.
I'd love to say that's a problem that will solve itself, but innocent people will be harmed because of the choices republicans force on the rest of the country. So again, fuck republican voters. I would love to still have compassion for their situation, but I've but I long ago ran out of sympathy for those who actively reject the idea of compassion to others.
Go on. It'll be funny.
