I guess it got so bad that they moved the original form (archive link) to this new URL with a 2 at the end (live at the time of this post) and added some fields.

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!

I did my part 🫡
I called in Mr. Harry Balls to make a complaint.
Glaad to hear it.
Ha, that was entertaining.
I hate when they call people activists just for trying to do the right thing against a corrupt government
It's the correct term. The bad thing is that it apparently has a negative connotation.
That is intentional. The same corporations that lobby the govt to pass legislation that let's them do whatever they want also lobby the govt to make protest and activism seem like a bad thing.
I mean just look at how people react to protestors gluing themselves to roads or handcuffing themselves to machines or whatever. They're almost universally seen as problem causers because all anyone else sees is someone wasting their time.
The term activist has a good connotation with me, but there are certainly ones who take things too far and give others a bad name. Totally depends on what they're doing and why.
See the problem falls on what is "too far"?
I'm personally at the point where I feel violence is necessary. Peaceful protest only works when the people your protesting against aren't using literal military forces against you.
You're right, it's very subjective.
Doing the lord's work by smiting dumbass ideas
“It’s not surprising that activists are taking the time to send false reports,” Birkeland said. “But that isn’t a distraction from the importance of the legislation and the protection it provides women across Utah.”
This asshole thinks trans women aren't women. He can suck a fuck.
LGBTQ+ rights advocates also have warned the law and the accompanying tip line give people license to question anyone’s gender in community spaces, which they argue could even affect people who are not trans.
Their warnings were amplified earlier this year when a Utah school board member came under fire — and later lost her reelection bid — for publicly questioning the gender of a high school basketball player she wrongly assumed was transgender.
I remember reading about that shithead's comments. Glad to know she lost her job because of it.
This asshole thinks trans women aren’t women. He can suck a fuck.
well trans men are gonna have a hard time using the stand-up-pisser. I guess trans women won't have that issue since women's restrooms offer no convenience-pissing solution for women but still.
I think you're getting a little too pumped up over this
because mens restrooms dont have sitting toilets
The simple protest that will eventually end this is to smash urinals. Once businesses get fed up replacing them all bathrooms will become stall only. Then it truly doesn't matter which bathroom anyone goes into.
A small cup of fast-setting plaster should suffice. Less effort, less noise.
True, but bricks and rocks are easier to come by.
Truly genius. Have to love it.
