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.

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.

I can't fathom how my relatives under 50 still remain in texas.
They basically hate women, and want to push vindictive bullshit - even if this woman is afforded agency over her own body, Paxton has said he'll sue the docs nurses and medical center.

They took books about slavery out of the plantation gift shop. https://lemm.ee/post/17334830
I remember Ann Richards, what the fuck, Texas.... what the actual fuck.
Gerrymandering is cool, aint it?
If people who disagree with the Republicans always leave, then the Republicans will be unopposed and will always win. This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Children growing up in Texas can see first-hand the intentional cruelty of the ruling party, and I believe that is why the GOP will eventually lose, and their only chance for the near future is unlawfully seizing power.
In a vacuum you're not wrong, but the real-world implication is that you're asking parents to willingly subject their children to the cruelty of the GOP to maybe have a chance of changing it in the future.
Do children have to be in a school shooting to know that they shouldn't happen? Do they have to see their classmate forced to carry their rapist's baby to know that abortion should be allowed in at least some circumstances? Do they have to freeze with no power to learn that a privatized power grid will always prioritize its profits over their health?
I'm suggesting that the comment that you replied to, insulted, and quoted in your previous comment did not say what you think it said. Yes, even though it wasn't my comment.
sorry ain't sticking around in shittsville so I can help Ted Cruz get reelected again, not my fucking hobby eh?
you do you.
