Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 people need to show up either outside her office or outside her home.

If a leader thinks that their constituents are too scary then that person should not be representing them.

When she wore a scarlet letter A: "This is my signal to others that I don't answer to anybody up here," she said. "I only answer to the people back home."

When her constituents want to ask questions: "We’re staying away because it’s not safe, and we refuse to be bullied by individuals who are threatening me, my employees, and my family."

the smallest margin of victory for any president since Richard Nixon

I broke this out on a Trumper at work last week. I can't get too into it with him when he says shit like, "Hitler was provoked by the rest of Europe" but when he trumpets I'll bark back.

So where does that leave Al Gore then?

I think this stunt tells us all we need to know about the actual intelligence level of Nancy Mace...

I think it stands for Asshole. I might be mistaken, but I doubt it.

As an outer space crustacean, I understand your confusion, but that is a reference to Adultery: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Letter

I just want to point out that this woman pulled this stunt without the slightest clue what she was actually doing or what that A represented.

and she got re-elected.

Let that sink in.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I'm under the impression that's what most politicians do.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

All she needed was a white cone hate with a capital D on it to finish that ensemble.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago
