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.

They came around on immigration. They'll come around on trans rights. Wonder who's next.
You've adopted Republican talking points about immigration. You'll do the same with trans people.
It 100% is. Which Republican talking points are you gonna adopt when (not if, WHEN) Democrats show their true colors to trans people like they have to the undocumented?
No one asked you to summarize Republicans' talking points about the border. I'm surprised you didn't spell it "boarder" like they do.
You're asking me to prove that "open borders" is a Republican talking point?
Fucking seriously?
Ok, I'll entertain your bad faith exactly once.
Conservatives pretend that anything to the left of their shitty racist border policies is "open borders," which is a bullshit mischaracterization. You're demanding that I defend a strawman that you have constructed.
Now move the goalposts like you did with your garbage about the popular vote.
I said once. Keep spewing Republican talking points about the racist Republican policy you're happy to have adopted.
Sure, just give me an example of any country without any resources that has a space program. I'll wait. It's what you're arguing after all.
This is the shit you're doing. You're LYING about my position and then demanding that I defend a position I neither stated nor hold. And all because you know you're spouting Republican talking points because you agree with Republicans' racist motivations for their shitty border policy.
And just like you adopted Republican talking points for your support of racist Republican border policy, the instant the party throws trans people under the bus and shifts into reverse and drive a couple dozen times in the vain hopes that they will peel off a few fascist votes, you'll be screaming that there are only two genders.
I am not. That's a strawman you've constructed.
No, casting anything to your left as "open borders" is a conservative talking point.
What we had before Democrats moved to the right and adopted Republican policies like you wanted wasn't "open borders."
And since that didn't pass, what we have now still isn't open borders. No matter how much you and your Republican thinkalikes claim it is.
You agree with Republicans on the border. And everything else. Don't pollute my inbox with your racist apologia again.
If you say so. Now will you go bother someone else?
Oh, that's what all this has been about? You've decided to pester me nonstop with Republican talking points to get me to block you?
Only Republican policy makes sense to you.
Bother someone else.
Why? You've already decided that my arguments aren't what I say they are and that they're what you imagine them to be.
You're arguing with your own imagination and you can do that in my absence.
Please go bother someone else.
