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!

There's no need to kink shame.
Let's not do the same to the right wing as they do to everyone else.
There is when they refuse to acknowledge it's a kink. And when they try to push it on others.
Oh, and it usually involves children, which means they're bringing non-consenting minors into their kink. No, I would shame the fuck out of them if I thought they could feel shame.
Exactly, the whole point of a kink is you take a desire for something potentially very bad or toxic (either for yourself or others) and you encapsulate it in a consensual fantasy bubble in order to act it out and fulfill those desires.
A kink is sexy because of the careful intentionality of taking a strong desire within yourself and disentangling it from your worldview, politics, and fundamental values so that you can act it out in a liberating fantasy that doesn’t need to reconcile its inconsistencies with the rest of yourself, it can just be and that is ok.
Building a whole worldview around a kink is the opposite of sexy because the whole point of a kink is that is sexy af when you know yourself so well that you can extract an irrational desire that would otherwise control whole regions of your life and explore it sexually in order to both feel that desire fulfilled at the deepest level possible and also establish agency over that desire so that it cannot overwhelm your ethics or values.
What a boring kink. No wonder they're afraid of goth mommies
