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!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

It is amazing that Democrat senators unanimously vote against a former Democrat who is a minority woman.
Former Democrat..... Current russian asset...fuck off
That stupid claim started with Hillary making the accusation without providing evidence.
Lol no it's not, she's did that to herself basically believing russian propaganda and aligning with it.
She gave her honest opinion.
No she spews out russian propaganda...
She is free to speak on the point of view that you don't like.
And everyone else is free to criticize her, even if that's a point of view you don't like.
If your best defense of her is, "The things she's said aren't illegal," that's not exactly a high bar.
Cool. How about the fact that she was very pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him?

You can read the literal words she says in that article, but something tells me you won't.
Oh look, another person to block.
Turns out when you opportunistically betray your party and join the other side, you tend to alienate the party you were with before! Who knew?
Have we finally solved the mystery of why people dislike former revolutionary war general Benedict Arnold?
I think the Democrats are actually racist and sexist, that is why they vote against Tulsi. Republicans have no problems voting for her.
What other copy paste "thoughts" do you have lol. You can't actually be serious.
Lol. I'm sure you're playing those cards in good faith.
It couldn't have anything to do with her politics or the fact that she's an opportunist with no principles who flipped to the right as soon as it was personally advantageous for her. Nope, every single Democrat, including those who are women, racial minorities, or female racial minorities, could only possibly dislike her because of racism and sexism 🙄
God I hate Tulcels.
Hey, what's it like working at the troll farm, knowing that large language models are all of two seconds from ending your job? Do you have any other prospects lined up?
You are the one working at a troll farm.
Yes, focus on that and ignore the fact that she's in a cult take takes homophobia to grand new heights.

WTF? What does being a minority woman have to do with anything?
