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!

MODERATORS
I don't understand the party thought process: they seem to want as many births as possible, but they also seem to want as many deaths as possible. What does that get them?
Edit: never mind, I figured it out. This is slave-owner mentality. You want/need lots of fresh new meat for the grinder, but then you want to be rid of them as soon as they are past their forced-labor prime.
It's also religious-war/race war mentality.
The 'covid is fake/masks don't work' talking points were cast early on, when the data were mostly being reported in high-population-density areas. I suspect they decided the pandemic was a political opportunity, to let the virus kill off minorities and democrats in the cities for them.
Of course, they're stupid as hell in that they killed far more of their own voters than they did anyone else.
It is entirely possible that the lopsided amount of covid related deaths among the conservative population actually skewed purple districts to blue in recent years. Stop this timeline I want to get off.
We should remove warning labels for a year and absolutely decimate the Conservative voting base.
Considering the elderly were most at risk, this isn’t surprising.
They will say and do whatever they think will whip their cultists into a frenzy enough to vote and keep them in power. Whether or not it kills those same voters is irrelevant to them.
There are some of them who are just idiot true believers, but they don't tend to be the ones in high leadership positions.
Yeah, DeSADIST is one of those people that surely knows better. But he has to reverse virtue signal to the feces-flinging howler monkeys that make up his party, and they actually will believe whatever they are told to believe, as long as they think it will "own the libs".
He's actually a tricky one for me to call. He might be in the category of people who fell for their own bullshit.
It has nothing to do with protecting lives, it's securing the votes of religious Americans.
