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!

When it comes down to the brass tacks???
Who the hell do you think is supporting marginalized people having the voter protections that everyone else gets?
Who do you think supports them not being discriminated against or even bothering to run studies on this information?
Who do you think are the people working to improve programs that often are mostly aimed at them, through a federal government that currently is basically gridlocked and only allows the controlling parties control over the purse in essence?
Your statement is baseless bothsiderism.
Once again, the republicans are literally actively discriminating against them, disappearing them off the street, doing forced sterilizations, and more.
Dafuq you mean they don't support them more?
Back up that statement, because I'm not seeing it.
Do you know what nuance is?
Do you know why democrats were doing that? Because people such as yourself seemed even less reachable to them than the morons and bigots that voted trump in. That was an attempt to compromise. A misguided attempt thinking that they would respond to facts and numbers.
No he fucking didn't. ICE is raiding primary schools and hiring like a silicon valley blitz scaling startup.
You only look for attempts at gotchas because you don't actually give a fuck about other people. You just want to feel right when making the world worse, pretending there is somehow any practical plan for the democrats to go from zero to hero in a day.
You ignore the real steps to achieving your goals, because it doesnt allow you to gloat while hurting other people, and its slow, unfun, and involves supporting people you feel are mid; you know, the things the actual leftists do gritting their teeth because they look up facts and don't say absurd shit like
You are so fucking far from your goal its a farce that you keep acting like there are direct steps towards it.
I want to live in Startrek as much as the next person, but that is not happening within my lifetime, or the lifetime of anyone born right now.
If only you and that same energy for holding your party accountable we wouldn't have had a senile pedo as president and an installed, like a monarchist, as first runner up when he bowed out. If liberals had listened to socialists and communists in 2016 there would have never been a trump problem. But instead of looking at the bigger picture they focused on 'first woman president'
Its interesting all of the so called "socialists" when their faux beliefs are called out in detail, just bark the same thing that has just been disproven, and pretend that if only exactly the platform of their dreams were run, in a sperical cow friction-less universe that doesnt exist, everything would be hunky dory.
Unfortunately we live in a real world with real constraints. The real world had what it had, and you chose to not participate, or even worse, support the bad guys because you didn't get your way.
You're attempted gotchas continue to be a way from you diverting from the fact you have absolutely no rebuttals for any of the many reasons that your core arguments don't work or criticisms of your rhetoric.
Liberals seem to hate that real world they helped build
Look at you with some more "I exist outside of politics" child like thinking.
By not participating, you fuel the worst, and don't make the least bad any better.
You have no arguments for this, you only have your fall back rhetoric, with no plans, no work, no substance.
