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!

Janitorial work is pretty important and critically unappreciated. Don’t be an entitled ass and label janitors as second-class workers.
You’re right. It is. But that wasn’t my point. Is there a career choice that would better illustrate my point?
A lot of undesirable jobs get done by those who don't have a choice for various reasons and those people aren't always the malicious type. I don't think there's any job deserving of insult.
Plus those kids didn't get to choose the environment they were raised in. They're going to start off at a disadvantage because their parents prioritized politics over quality of education so it's especially unfair to kick them down when they don't have a choice.
Fine jobs are curbed. But, I need an insult to use. So, help me out here. 🤷♂️
It's not appropriate to make fun of the kids here. They don't get to choose the schools their parents force them into. The only insults should be aimed at the shortsightedness of their community that will have made success much more difficult to attain.
Give me an insult to use on the parents, but it has to be about how their actions will impact their child.
I feel like I’m trying to get chat gpt to answer the damn question but it’s trying to be a civil and yet judging me at the same time.
Gimme what ya got. Make the next reply be the insult I need, not another dodge
"Once your kids figure out you made their lives extra hard, you're never going to see them again and you'll die only kept company by your hatred."
Oh buddy I wish mistreated kids weren’t also usually brainwashed into never leaving. But look at the church. Pretty abusive imo. People eat that shit up.
