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's not just that. It's also the "I don't want my tax dollars paying for some other person's health care" crowd.
"I don't want to pay $30 in taxes. I'd rather be bankrupt the next time I need medical care"
yeah... bombing kids in hospitals in Gaza and corporate tax breaks are aok... but god forbid a poor person gets affordable treatment for his cancer ?? communists !!!!!
Yeah my dumbass neighbor used to argue that he shouldn't have to pay for women's feminine care when he pays for his medical insurance. And I'm like, "Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how many male-centric diseases are covered by insurance?" Fucking stupid self-centered dipshits. And it was dumb because in every other way this guy was pretty intelligent.
"Fellas, is it gay to subsidize gynecological healthcare?"
I don't want my taxes to pay for someone else's healthcare. I want my post tax dollars to pay for wealthy CEOs' yachts, and my tax dollars to pay for some other person's healthcare but at ridiculous rates.
Particularly those people, you know? The ones I can't mention directly so I have plausible deniablity, but we all actually know who I'm talking about and it's not even a dogwhistle anymore.
I wouldn't want those people to receive qualitative care. I'd rather pay for some other person's new yacht than for these people's bare necessities.
