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!

Photo: Republican Club of North & East Fort Myers A Black Trump supporter in Florida is suing a Republican group, claiming he was called a “slave.” According to NBC 2, Carl Baxter, a well-known Trumper from Lee County and president of the Republican Club of North and East Fort Myers, filed a lawsuit against Americans … Continued
If you're black and support the GOP might as well get used to that term again.
I’d be very careful about telling marginalized groups how they’re supposed to vote unless you’re a part of that group.
They are free to vote Republican. Just don't be shocked when their rights are further rolled back. The GOP is actively attacking DEI policies and weakening the CRA. These things are in place not because of the memory of racism but because of current and increased pressure towards racist policies.
Everyone is free to stab themselves in the knee with a grill meat fork.
Just make sure you're ready to accept the consequences of stabbing yourself with a grill meat fork.
Ha! Jokes on you, I don’t have a grill meat fork!

yolo, bitch!
Nowhere in that comment did they tell a marginalized group how to vote, but merely stated their opinion as to what the outcome would likely be for that group depending on how they voted.
We both know you’re capable of understanding implications/intent.
Do insufferable cunts count as a marginalized group?
They aren't marginalized enough
Today I’m grateful for the block feature
Removed, civility.
Sexist/gendered insult awesome real cool
Speaking as a woman, you’re definitely an insufferable cunt.
👍
Removed, civility.
I’m not. I’m expressing my sincere opinion. It’s fine to disagree with me but jesus the hostility here is wild
If you're in a minority group and you still support the GOP, I'd argue you can't.
So I see nothing wrong with respectfully suggesting to a specific group that maybe they should be careful who they vote for.
OP stated a fact tho.
