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!

Wow more sexist language!! Cool!
Cunt?
Your name is Whoreticulture. Like literally the kettle calling the pot black.
People have no idea who you are and I see no reason you could use either of those words. You are spreading hateful rhetoric by continuing to use them.
Any use of slurs seems to be wholly unacceptable so, your insistence that you are ok to use them is hypocritical and helps to keep as acceptable. Shame.
There's a super old joke based on "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink" which starts "You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think..."

I'm assuming that's the basis of their user name.
Marvel even used it recently as the name for a group of geriatric plant based female super villains: "Hordeculture" which just made me giggle.
Oh my God that's hilarious.
Thank you! This is the kind of obscure amazingness and terrible hilarious pun work that I live for.
I love the context here but unfortunately this is not what was going through my mind! And to be honest this quote is way too disparaging of whores for my liking.
I just love plants and sex!
Well, when you're an appropriate age, you have ready made cosplay! ;)
They were fun! I'd like to see more of them!
lmao I think it's obvious to everyone but you that my username is not an attack on anyone in particular, and is just a reference to myself. You were using a slur to attack a specific member of a marginalized group. Even if my username was inappropriate, that wouldn't mean that your use of a slur is therefore appropriate.
I was using like language to point out the hypocrisy of claiming that your actions are good and wholesome because it's obvious to everyone that yours is in good taste but others are not. No one knows that but you. You are operating on false logic.
You are coming into an argument feeling superior which means none of your arguments can be taken in good faith. At all. I am simply pointing it out.
And I used a slur that is commonly used and is part of several countries cultural language to refer to a cunt as a cunt.
Your argument is poor and being language police is a pathetic attempt at pedantry to make you feel better. I don't care and you will find others don't either even if you build a bubble around yourself of people who do.
Edit: also to call trust fund baby, former first lady Hillary Clinton a member of a marginalized group is hilarious and only true because of how few first ladies of the US are left.
I obviously know you don't care, or else you wouldn't have used a gendered slur to discredit someone.
You can call me a hypocrite when I do that.
