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!

I have a friend that thinks Democrats are anti abortion and will absolutely not change her mind. Literally every thing she cares about she agrees with progressives on but was raised demonizing Democrats and is vehemently Republican. It's ridiculous how entrenched the brainwashing is for people when they can't even recognize this stuff.
It's a cult.
Like - y'know. A Cult.
Anti abortion? Am I reading that right?
Wait. Democrats are anti abortion? Then WTF are Republicans?
Yep. She also thinks Republicans are pro child welfare and pro drugs.
Yeah I was the same way as a kid, luckily that imploded once I had access to voting record from senators, congressfolk, and presidents. Its one of those things that probably originates back wehn the Republicans were lead by the progressive factions and the Democrats were led by the sputhern blue dogs. Ya get meemaw ranting about the evils of the Democrats and over the course of 80 years and some vaguely okay Republican presidents ya end up with dumbshit.
