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!

It’s not about the lifts.
It was never about the lifts.
It’s about masculine insecurity and the deceit that surrounds it.
One end of the political spectrum doesn’t care to understand climate change, healthcare, guns, income inequality, or a billionaire tax, so if we want to engage on those topics one side is left yelling into the void.
However, if there is one thing the right does understand, it is masculine insecurity and deceit. So we get to talk about that.
Plus Ron discriminates against other people who do things to make them more comfortable with themselves. So DeSantis can can wear heals to make himself the tall man he wants to be, but others can't make similar changes to live the life they want? It is despicable and he shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.
And we can do more than one thing at a time. We also talk about his bigoted policies too.
Also I read somewhere he is 5'11 which is like perfectly normal height for anyone. I'm 5'11 and I've never in my life felt any insecurities about my height. Though I do always laugh when some guy tells a woman or group that he's 6ft and he's obviously shorter than me. I usually let it slide but it's funny how often that happens.
I find it funny that the man with the widest hips in the world (Rhonda Santis) is the most rabidly anti-lgbtq person ever.
Do you know what it's also not about? Any of the issues that should matter.
