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!

So anyone that isn't performatively woke is a sheepdog. He's been involved in activism and community organizing for years, but because of his race and economic background, you're stereotyping him. Any white male that isn't flamboyantly gay or metrosexual is a conservative. You're just going off vibes, stereotyping people because of their race, economic origins, and military service. There's absolutely zero evidence that he's going to take the path of Fetterman, but you're making racist and sexist stereotypes about him. Any white working class male is "toxic."
You're just a bigot. I never thought I would actually meet the hypothetical anti-white or anti-male bigot conservatives like to crow about, but I suppose like anything, search hard enough and you can find any kind of person.
And I'm not throwing around words like bigotry and stereotyping lightly. That is literally what you're doing. You're judging this man a traitor simply because the color of his skin, his sex, and because of the culture he was raised in. He talks like a white working class people, and you stereotype all white working class people as MAGA.
How about you cite some of his actual policy positions, instead of just engaging in hateful stereotyping?
I love how you literally cannot fathom the idea that it is a SUBSTANTIVE critique that the man joined the military, went out to kill brown people, re-enlisted, then joined a mercenary group to provide security details in that same theater, then came home and became a luxury food farmer and then while married sexted with a bunch of thirst trap TikTokers all while spending 20 years with a literal Tottenkopf tattooed on his chest that he proudly displayed for years.
As though what I am actually saying is "you can't trust him. He's white." It would be comical if it wasn't so sad that I share a country with you. Get it through your fake victim complex. This has nothing to do with him being white and everything to do with the fact that he has not done anything that would indicate he's not a fucking jarhead who's only concern about military spending is America First politics, where his anti-war stance is primarily economic (though he has specific ethical problems with specific wars).
Try not to make everything about your own insecurities.
