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 was dating hot and heavy in 2020-2023, on several dating sites. Women either said they weren't political or not interested. That's a big, fat flag, "If you're Republican, STFU about it." Others simply stated that MAGA need not apply.
I was talking to a potential date (who turned out great!) and joked that I was something of a redneck.
"Uh... exactly how redneck?"
"I loathe Trump if that's what you're asking."
"OK. Whew. Thanks, just had to check."
And this was in NW Florida, about as conservative an area as it gets. There were very few women openly looking for conservative men, and I only remember a single MAGA nut.
Related note; I can't tell you how many women I met, including my wife, who said they would go on a date and the man would start going off about Trump bullshit. Imagine that. On a first date.
Better the first date than 6 months in.
I post on a message board that has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Of course, there are always topics that come up that someone has a political opinion about, so occasionally the board devolves into some political bickering.
However, at some point, I realized every time one of the posts became political it was because a conservative brought politics into it. I thought maybe it was just my bias and overlooked it when it was a leftwing/liberal. . .but nope, every time I noticed it getting political from there on out, it was always, without a doubt, a conservative who had to bring their politics into it.
I wish they'd all fucking vote...
I find that the magabrainz will even start up with that shit on an elevator if they can. If you think of con memes as a brainworm from another planet that is seeking to infect the entire human race, it makes a lot more sense...they seek to spread that shit in nearly every interaction, even with people they have just met. Invasion of the Body Snatchers was supposedly about the red scare, but I find it far more like the way the redcoats behave...
You really went turbo mode with that dating, huh
If you aim to catch a fish, it's best to sink several hooks in the water. Same for job hunting. The neighbors were making fun of me bringing home so many women. I was looking for a solid relationship!
Get past 40-45 with all your hair and teeth, don't be (too) fat, have a decent personality and interests, can't beat 'em off with a stick. Problem is, most all of us are damaged by then. :(
I was referring to the alacrity at which you tied the knot.
Well yeah, anyone who votes for Trump is admitting that they view a rapist and lying narcissist who cheated on his pregnant wife as a leader. Who the fuck in their right mind would want to date that?
