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.

MODERATORS
I understand the impulse/contention that this advertisement is a (perceived) capitulation to voters, which “starts and ends in voting booths” thus making it a “small price to pay” especially given american lawmakers’ propensity towards ignoring voters altogether in favor of passing laws for donors and benefactors.
However, this is an L take.
People’s opinions and perceptions are not 100% innate to their character. No one is perfectly resistant to pop culture or propaganda. Some democrats with shaky or quiet transphobia will feel emboldened by ads like this.
Also, adverts like this don’t just attempt normalize a stance with mixed success. They signal intent.
This isn’t just the South Carolina democratic candidate. This is a major organization that democrats work with to win elections and pass laws.
Please try to step back and get a bigger picture view and look at the situation a little more critically.
The gloves being off and the time for ass kissing being over should push you further against ads like this.
My rights are not bullshit. The rights of millions of other people are not bullshit.
I shouldn’t have to live in fear out of convenience for others. I shouldn’t be a fucking political pawn. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of “allies” like you.
Either stand up for everyone, or get the fuck out of the party that does/should. Go be a republican if you think that way.
I’m also an army veteran (I joined when Obama was president and left the military before he left office). I also have a mother and a father and friends who love me. I’m not some far away inconvenience. My life is real. Just like it is for all trans people.
Okay then. Stay home and surrender your vote. It’s your choice. I’m not going to argue it. You’ve made up your mind. Go ahead and let others vote for you.
I’m not your collateral damage. Your attitude in this fight is not the only valid one or the “most true one”.
That is their mindset. Thats some Sith Lord bullshit.
You’re just here to preach and condescend.
Wow what a great ally everyone. Isnt this guy great? Aren’t we glad we have this dude “on our side”?
Honestly this is hilarious, I got blocked by this snowflake the other day when I kept pointing out he wasn't addressing anything I was saying.
Wear the block due to this guys inability to hold a simple conversation of ideas like a badge of honor. You've earned it.
