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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

This is what is so insane to me, the trans "issue" (there is no issue, just treat them like people) is a nothibgburger.
There are sooooooo many more important issues, cost of living, healthcare, general safety, climate change, Russia, China and more, before ever comming close to speaking on trans policy.
And when it does come to speaking on trans policy, I would suggest not calling ut that, just make it a part of the general policy, people need healthcare, give it to them, a healthy people is a productive and happy people, some needs more/different care, others needs less, both benefits here.
I am no super mega awesome trans friend, but I don't see why I should hate some random people when they have done nothibg to me.
There is enough shit going on in the world, we don't need more hate.
It's all a distraction, and follows the recipe of ur-fascism: there has to be an enemy that is easily identifiable, easily targetable, and yet somehow poses insurmountable danger...
Just saw a quote from Vance about it... one of the two issues he mentioned...
Conservatives don't have answers to help with any real problems, but they know the left will pull out the purity tests and turn into a circular firing squad over this and destroy themselves whole the bigots and fascists laugh all the way to the election booth.
