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!

Okay, so that all on the surface sounds noble enough and like a good faith stance. Until the very end, where your personal comparisons again come through in an attack. Again.
So, let me put out where I'm at..
Trans people are pretty much hated and harassed at all corners of the internet. Called slurs openly now in the government BY elected officials. They just want to live their lives and not deal with the bullshit. I'm not saying a lot of them are sensitive or overly sensitive, but a truly mature person should see when a beaten dog doesn't want to play and leave it alone without getting mad at it. The fact is that you either don't get that or refuse to leave it alone with understanding. They banned you so you would go away. You continue to antagonize and demean people who demand respect.
To put it into perspective, imagine you asking a group of black people what the slurs are for black people. Ridiculously insensitive.
That's why I think you need to grow up.
Edit: yeah I looked at your comment history. You're a troll, that's why you're here. I see that you really AREN'T here for good faith conversation. I won't be responding here any longer.
Huh? I didn't make any personal attacks in that comment you're responding to.
I am not a troll. Simply because I don't align with your viewpoints doesn't make me a troll. I am having honest conversations and holding firm on my beliefs. I do genuinely enjoy discussing these types of things with people who are willing to do so, but like yourself people here tend to just dig through my profile and make a bunch of assumptions about me without even asking me any questions.
You do whatever you gotta do. Have a good day.
