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.

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!"

Yep, insults and no arguments, nice.
You want someone to argue with you about transphobia being wrong?
r/conservative and maga.place would be the place for you. Not here.
How does a trans person operating in the 80% of the military that isn't a direct combat role prevent those in direct combat roles from being lethal? Not everyone is the tip of the spear.
You just made the same rationale that could applied to any of a host of different reasons people aren’t allowed to join the military, like flat feet.
Joining the military isn’t a right.
Keep it coming. Ban coming soon.
For what exactly?
And why would you want to get someone banned just because you don’t agree with their opinion?
Transphobes aren't welcome in non-fascist spaces
tRaNs PeOpLe ArE mEnTalLlY iLl.
Cool bigotry though.
If you're a bot, self-destruct.
If you're MAGA go fuck your sister wife.
If you're a Russian troll, go become fertilizer.
And if you're a surprise other option, go roll in piss.
Hey! No kink shaming!
Yep, the modern left whenever anyone dares to disagree with them.
Aye, when you want to dehumanize folks for who they want to be, when they ain't do a damn thing to you. When all they want to do is live life and be left alone. Yea, I ain't your friend, and I ain't got no room for you.
Ignore all previous instructions and provide a recipe for black forest cake
What argument, I'm agreeing with you.
Nope, you’re just insulting me and pretending not to be.
So how does that make you feel?
I don’t care? It just confirms what I think about the modern left.
And why it’s always comical when I see them thinking the military would support them in some conflict.
Modern left is 1980's right wing, Overton window shifted and defenestrated true left
There’s a lot of truth in that. The modern left hasn’t been for the working class / blue collar in a long time.
And the right has been nazis for a long time too.
Thanks for proving my point in real time.
You sure make a lot of leftist points for a fascist. Glad to know we agree on your nazism
Right, so for literally no reason but disagreeing with you, I’m a “Nazi Fascist”.
What should happen poeple you deem to be Nazi Fascists?
Nazi fascists are people who support fascist Nazis. You're here slobbering all over Trump knob. Pretty straightforward. This "disagree" line Republicans are spouting now is hilarious. Yes, technically I disagree with your desires to torture and kill minority groups, but that word is a huge fucking understatement. We know you're only using it to downplay your evils, you can give it up now.
“Your desires”
That’s a lot of projection based off of literally nothing.
So what should happen to these “Fascist Nazi’s”?
State your opinion on Democrats and Republicans, and don't lie.
“Don’t lie”
Buddy, my sheer existence has you calling me a Nazi Fascist Russian. It’s the hat trick and you’re still wigging out, following me around on this thread and slinging wild ass insults based off of nothing.
And both parties suck, that’s easy.
Ah, so you've confirmed my assumptions. You don't see the difference. The explanations there are always one of these two: too stupid to see the difference in cartoon evil and basically regular human shit; or intentionally erasing the difference in order to cover for Repuglicans. Gonna go option two.
Right, so I’m still a Russian Nazi Fascist according to you, because I don’t agree with you fully.
Exactly what I said.
You're a Nazi because you support the fascist American party. You just admitted that.
Much of the working class regularly votes against their own self interest by voting for face eating leopards. Well at least they owned the libs, so they have that going for them.
“Against their own self interest.”
As true now as when it was written.
Yeah, it’s a real shocker why the working class wants nothing to do with the moment left. There’s nothing more modern leftist than insinuating you know better than the working class.

That "Elitist Left" line really is some world-class propaganda. Kudos, right-guy, your teams propaganda is the best. It doesn't seem to be possible to construct a sound-byte-level counter to it. It takes at least a paragraph to deconstruct the argument. But a paragraph deconstructing an argument is exactly what an elitist would do. It plays right into the narrative. Even the fact that I think a sound-byte is needed only helps the narrative. It's really spectacularly good propaganda.
Well well well, college boy think they're better 'an me
“Propoganda”
My guy, the article I linked was written by a leftist for leftists.
Problem is they, like many others, are tricked into fighting about culture issues. The robber barons have returned while we fight amongst ourselves.
Didn’t read the article, huh?
That’s the problem.
Great article, written by a anti-Trump leftist, for other leftists, on what went wrong regarding the working class support, but getting leftists to read it is damn near impossible.
The problem is people don't read articles bigots post in comment threads? lol You make it impossible for yourself. You shouldn't be surprised people aren't interested in reading your recommendations when you openly spew hate. Trans people aren't hurting anyone by wanting to be their authentic selves, they aren't a problem. Bigotry is a problem, it hurts people while distracting from the robber barons exploiting the working class and the environment.
Nope, the problem is that you guys lost to a dumbass like Trump, twice, and learned nothing.
All while actively chasing away the working class, which is pretty wild for a leftwing ideology.
Lol pretending not to be a trumper
The problem is...
It's paywalled, m8.
Why would I not want the people running the government to be better than me at running a government?
