Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 would allow unfettered gender-affirming care.

OH MY GOD!!! THE HORROR!!!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago

And it wouldn't even do that. That's how fucking stupid this is.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 year ago

People... can decide... for themselves??? Disgusting. (/s)

“…Conservatives afraid…”

that’s all you need to know for context.

[–] maeries@feddit.de 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And also that their fears are all made up

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

As are their beliefs

Alexandria Ocasio-cortez is under your blanket and she's about to steal all your guns!

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A universal truth

The trans panic is all they have since they have no solutions.

[–] Vlhacs@reddthat.com 20 points 1 year ago

And they're willing to fuck up lots of lives now and in the future just so they can remain in power by continuing to drive up irrational hate.

[–] Techmaster@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

They have the final solution. They're a big fan of that one.

Tell them the aborted kid would probably grow up trans just to see them try and work out the response to that one

[–] leapingleopard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

no exceptions for rape or incest, but if that baby boy fetus has a dress on, out they go!!

What the hell is going on in Ohio? The whole state seems to be made out of asshole.

[–] falk1856@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Gerrymandered by the GOP. Legislature realizes that the people want to approve a constitutional amendment so they are trying to make it harder to do so by whipping up right wing panic.

[–] keeb420@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Assholes at both ends and hi in the middle.

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The number one pastime in Ohio, is leaving Ohio.

Same thing that's going on all around the entire world. Bunch of ruthless crazy Karens trying to make everyone just as miserable as they are.

[–] Hnazant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sponsored by billionaires.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago

Conservative tactics are almost always bait and switch. I can't believe how often they will lie or mislead about their actions.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Their entire game is dividing people. That’s all this is. Has nothing to do with beliefs or logic. They just want to put people in a box so they fight each other instead of the system.
