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!

MODERATORS
Mike Rodgers has made it clear he's against Trans rights, he's against equal pay for women, he's against minimum wage increases, and he's very proud of his ''100% anti abortion voting record'' in the past he's said he would respect Michigan's right to abortion laws, but shifted further right this cycle saying he'll support federal bans on abortion. So in a fight between "won't disavow a commercial that says the US funding Isreal and joining Israel in attacking Iran has led to high gas prices" or "will do everything in his power to harm women's equality and human rights" she prefers harming women.
Don’t forget that Rogers is also in favor of adding even more hurdles to disability benefits and her partner is a disability attorney. Those billable hours must be worth more than people’s survival.
Always find a way to grift the system and profit from other peoples misery.
I haven't researched Rodgers, but if everything you're saying is true, then it looks like the Michigan Democratic Party made the correct choice.
I mean, in this MAGA timeline, obviously, it doesn't matter what, it's wrong to support any Republican unless the alternative is like a serial killer or something.... on reflection, I think a serial killer might be preferable to a Republican, since the serial killer would cause less harm.
Dexter for Senate
He's also a trumpist piece of shit.
He claims hes not. He claims he was out before Trump came in. and that his time in the military and FBI make him better.
But when he's asked difficult questions, like is Trump corrupt, he hems and haws and spends 5 minutes talking around the topic without addressing, much less answering the topic... and if he cant immediately offer a "Yes, hes corrupt, and an embarassment", then you know hes got orange spraytan on his lips.
