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!

MODERATORS
Democrats make it sure hard to support them sometimes. This isn’t conduct becoming of a representative.
Oh get over yourself, no one believes you’ve never looked at porn, you’re in no position to judge
I still like to believe politicians should be role models; people who pay their taxes rather than cheat on them for example. Porn exists but I don’t like the thought of schoolteachers or politicians making their own.
And why is that? She had consentual sex with someone, both parties consented to filming it, and both parties consented to streaming it online. Sex is a natural and healthy act, so where's the problem?
Nonsense. It's a job like any other. Stop projecting your morality on everyone else. She didn't do anything wrong at all. She didn't hurt anyone. You have no right to judge her.
She's not a politician yet and sex work is the oldest profession. Shit, you know other great apes trade sexual favors for food and status?
Which is to say the shame we have around sex and sex workers is about cultural trends rather than morality or ethics.
She was engaged in a lawful activity to make money. That you find it shameful is your problem, not her's
You are no better than them
My teachers had sex. My parents had sex. My grandparents had 12 kids, they had lots of sex.
My politicians have sex, sometimes they lie about who with and make statements about lying with the same sex but still get caught with the same sex. I like a politician who has sex, is positive about the act, is big on consent and privacy, and knows the internet grift.
If we want doctors and engineers and teachers and lawyers and cops and businessmen and construction workers and whomever else being represented in our government, if we want experts there to make the laws, I think it would behoove us to have a sex worker or two.
I'd pay for Mitch McConnel nudes (consensually sold) if only to say I owned copies of that tortoises' scrotal sack.
Get over it, lots of people have sex. Unfortunately for us, your parents were among them.
Curious your opinions on Boebert, who was also a sex worker before she got into politics.
Oh I don't hate her because of her sex work.
She’s the worst person in Congress already, and yes this makes her even lower. Stop treating this as a zero-sum game.
When we have ranked choice voting and a third party I will.
In the meantime, it is a zero sum game. You can't play dove when the other side is playing hawk. That's basic game theory. Tit for tat.
If the right (or you) want to shame her for legal sex work, I'm going to bring up that tweeker escort every time I can.
