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!

They aren’t moderate they are where the far right was in 2000
Tell that to older gay people
I grew up in a gay family so I know all about this subject. I can argue that the democrats continuously moved farther right while using a few social justice issues as a smokescreen.
This is true, but that does not mean that they haven't made life materially better for LGBTQ+ people, even if it was a cynical calculation for many of them.
It’s starting to look like those rights and the rights of women are just going to be taken away and then surprise the parties combine into one faction of facism
Why would that not have happened by now if it was the plan? What are they waiting for, some guy to proclaim himself Jesus and endorse children in private prison cages?
Look at the money both parties are receiving from aipac. 95 democrats voted to give Charlie Kirk a holiday. Two wings of the same bird.
Meaning more than half voted against it while every single Republican got in line. I see a clear solution, here, remove every Republican and Charlie Kirk doesn't get a day.
But to be honest, making a statement against political violence is not a problematic stance. I care about taxing the rich, healthcare, reversing Citizens United, etc.
Only 58 democrats voted against it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/09/19/nearly-100-democrats-approve-resolution-honoring-charlie-kirk/
Instead of Forbes you should just link to the Roll Call: https://www.congress.gov/votes/house/119-1/282 It looks like it was agreed to in the house and then motioned to reconsider meaning it will not progress any further at this time.
You were correct but my apologies for not giving a fuck about symbolism over some dead nazi in the wake of the US Military being deployed on its own cities and medical coverage being intentionally gutted. I'm just happy he didn't get buried in the capitol with honors.
You literally cited the media to support your argument in the previous reply you made.
