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!

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”

The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”

Not the dangerous radical gender ideology of trying to be happy

Is there any argument for trans people getting their rights removed?

Setting aside the mind, it is a biological fact that approximately 1 in 1700 people are born with both sexual organs.

They're supposed to just, die?

Another fact, indigenous peoples all over the world had several genders, some dozens.

What seems like a rhetorical question to you does not to a fascist.

According to Republicans, yes

This is surely going to lower the price of eggs.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago

When women are factory farmed baby makers...oh you meant those eggs.

Might as well define the Earth as flat and the Moon as green cheese while he's at it.

Do these fuckers have literally nothing else to do than wage wars against reality?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

It keeps us divided. It misdirects the anger of their base towards something other than how badly they are being fucked.

Never attribute that to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity.... Unless it comes from the mouth of a Republican politician.

They might try. They’ve already tried to legislate a definition of pi to equal exactly 3.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

No, I refuse to believe that's ever hap-

Maybe a strategy to distract the masses while they and their ~~supporters~~ handlers steal the country blind.

I kind of feel like all this spawned from some hot trans-girl turning down one of these shitstains and they've never let it go.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

To be honest it's probably all the hot trans-girls turning them down, like there's a conspiracy or something, but hot trans-girls just don't like conservative assholes.

We need media stepping up the messaging that the Right is infatuated with the genitals of people, especially children. Outside of maybe your Dr. (and/or partner), nobody should be talking about, or caring about your genitals to the degree the Right is in this pervy/pedo crusade of late.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The right owns the media. The revolution will not be televised.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They own the traditional media, but not the hundreds of thousands of YouTube and TikTok influencers with millions of followers each.

The revolution will be vlogged.

We really need to start saying that these people want their own family members killed. It seems to be the only thing that can get some people to listen
