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.

"Here's a long detailed rebuttal to your badly informed opinion."
"Ad hominem!"
Reddit and its consequences was a mistake.
So you think being called a bigot for criticizing religion isn’t an ad hominem attack? Okay It’s not a badly informed opinion, It’s one that doesn’t automatically align with most left wing talking points that are basically just about identity politics. I bring it up because it’s why Democrats continue to lose. Defenders of AOC sound like Swifties. I like Harris but she doesn’t have to be the only candidate and neither does AOC. I’ll state it in plain English and maybe you’ll understand? Islam is a religion, it’s not a race or ethnicity. When I criticize the rules of this religion, which is Sharia law, which contradicts democracy in this country and is unconstitutional it doesn’t make me a bigot. Everything that have stated here in this thread is part of the reason why Democrats keep losing. The majority of Americans are tired of extreme left wing politics and policies, and it’s why we keep getting extreme right wing politicians who win elections. You can tell me I’m uninformed all you want, call me a bigot, whatever… But come 2028 you’re gonna get president JD Vance and VP Elmo. If it comes down to it and AOC is chosen as the Democrat nominee, I will gladly vote for her, but she can’t win, she isn’t electable and it isn’t because of sexism
