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!

It always strikes me as strange when anyone refers to their 30 or 40+ year old offspring, as children. They aren't remotely children in any way.
Obviously you don't have kids.
I don't fly helicopters either. But when I see one stuck in a tree, I know that's not right.
Can you just educate yourself to the fact that words have multiple usages, and children both means youth as well as offspring so we don't keep having this retarded conversation?
Do you really believe I don't know individual words are used in different ways?
I thought it would be obvious, that I just believe useing words with the least ambiguous and narrowest meaning available, is a more clear way to communicate.
In this case offspring would undeniably be the term to fit the meaning parents want to convey. Continuing to use child is a sign their concept of their offspring hasn't kept up with the current reality. The fact that this behavior is common dosen't mean it's correct and immune from criticism.
Both it, and your attitude of infallibility, are just two of the many windmills I fight against.
Bro do you understand tilting windmills is foolish, and that's the point of the expression?
You being butthurt about common linguistic usages isn't your valiant struggle, it's your autism acting up
I certainly do. You got the point perfectly.
It's my pointless, useless, impossible, imaginary battle against the world itself. But hey. You don't fight the fight because you can win. You fight the fight that needs fighting.
Cool bro go yell at clouds then
