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!

Like someone sleeping their way to the top of the presidential ticket? We've been dealing with their bullshit rhetoric for years so much we are all but immune to it. The magat snowflakes can go fuck themselves if they can't take some in turn now.
Turns out that it's also immature and shitty when we lie
Hey, I wish "They go low, we go high" worked but 2016 proved that isn't the world we live in. Even then, joking that Vance fucked a couch, which is a super fantastical claim which most people will at worse laugh at, is in a different league than claiming the VPotUS got there on her knees, especially when misogynistic magats will instantly believe it is true.
There's a difference in boldly criticizing and just lying.
You say that but it's easily believed as something a teenager could've done. Also right after the last time I had this silly argument I corrected someone on here who thanked me because they literally believed it happened.
Of course it is. "They're worse" isn't really an argument. Just an excuse.
This is totally harmless and a total tounge in cheek reference to the only talking points MAGA can come up with. MTG says Democrats are pedophiles on the floor of congress, lefties are saying JD fucks couches on Twitter. There's apples and oranges but this is oranges and pine cones and also helps lighten the mood overall which helps voter engagement and turnout.
But most importantly, fuck em.
It was never true, not even partially. I don't want to measure how decent I am by the shittiest benchmark conceivable, i.e. MTG. Also btw this is based on a tweet that is believable and cites page numbers. Plenty of teenagers have done things weirder than fuck couches.
You missed the entire point of what I said. The "lowest" the left went is an obvious joke, which is the oranges. MTG calling dems pedophiles is the fucking pine cones. They are NOT similar, at all. It is not something that can br used to measure a god damned thing. Don't be obtuse because you have a bad take on an issue, it's a bad look.
And anyone who thinks someone would write about fucking couches in a grift book to Bible thumper is a fucking idiot. That is not believable.
Thanks for identifying yourself as someone I never would choose to converse with. You know I never implied the two were comparable.
"I don't want to measure how decent I am by the shittiest benchmark conceivable, i.e. MTG."
Like 15 minutes ago goofball.
That quote is me saying that I refuse to be compared to her. Not sure why Internet people so often choose to not understand thoughts if they didn't have them first.
Lol k sounds like "internet people" do this a lot. I'm sure it's everyone else's fault you sweet, sweet summer child 🌼 🌞 🌼
And just like that, he weaseled out of being wrong
I made a choice to stop engaging. After this post I'll stick to it, i dont have the time today. Have fun with the final word on this, if you'd like. Your last statement and the importance of this to you is a clear demonstration of your ego and validates one if the first observations I made. Quoting myself:
"Don't be obtuse (maybe pedantic is a better term) because you have a bad take on this. It's a bad look."
Bye cutiepie
