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
Half of them have rhetoric involving how bad getting the vote, equal rights, and ability to initiate divorce have been for women and society in general.
Guess what they are really after..
Can we please go back to requiring news headlines to have this kind of punny alliteration?
Iraqi Head Seeks Arms
So many bad news headlines, this was a breath of fresh air, I could feel tension leaving my body as I read the article. As a father of 3 daughters, HORRAY! Gotta vote these aholes out.
Still want State's Rights, you fucken rubes?
Nope. They want to go for a national abortion ban now. For them, states rights only matter when it pertains to marginalizing people and infringing on freedoms.
Yup. If the state wants to make it OK to own someone else, that's fine. If a state wants children to work, that's fine. But if they want to legalize weed and give women bodily autonomy? No!
Don't forget, the slave states were all for forcing free states to comply with the Fugitive Slave Act in the run up to the failed rebellion. Classic bad faith rhetoric from the right.
Much like their feelings on capitalism, states' rights only matter if it helps them somehow.
There are quite a few layers to that dad joke.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Don’t mess with our right to choose or you’ll reap sour returns at the ballot box for a generation.
Sixty-five percent of Gen Z women-identifying and non-binary respondents in our recent survey identified abortion as a critical issue for them.
In April, Wisconsin voters turned out in huge numbers to appoint a state Supreme Court judge.
Abortion was also a central issue in both the Pennsylvania Supreme Court race and Virginia’s legislative elections.
In Pennsylvania, voters elected Dan McCaffrey, an outspoken defender of abortion rights, to the state Supreme Court.
IGNITE’s new research — conducted between April and June — shows Gen Z women are prioritizing abortion, mass shootings and mental health at the polls.
The original article contains 642 words, the summary contains 108 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Saved a few spaces betweenwords too, I see..
The problem is that women and men who vote to protect abortion are ALSO voting for the same fascists as always. These abortion votes aren't impacting the down ballot races like they should.
There seems to be a pretty big group of folks that are okay with fascism as long as it doesn't directly impact them.
These abortion votes aren’t impacting the down ballot races like they should.
Yes they are. Nationwide, Democrats have been outperforming polls by 9+ points since RvW was overturned. The #GOP lost 13 out of 15 special elections that were held between General Elections & they just lost Virginia completely. Youngkin has an expiration date.
Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how you frame the candidates. In my state, the court races were talked about as preserving abortion rights and dems dominated.
Democrats have been outperforming polls nationwide by 9+ points since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Current polls (and polling methods) are garbage, especially this far out from the election.
