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!

Rural Ohio is a goddamn nightmare. I live in a dense suburb (almost urban) and all the signs in my neighborhood say “vote yes,” but if I drive out one county away, all the “vote no” and accompanying misinformation starts rolling out.
Misinformation like: “Abortion kills babies” (it does not).
“Abortion harms children” (it does not).
“Abortion infringes on parents’ rights” (it does not). “Abortion is dangerous” (only if it’s done in secrecy, because you’ve made it a crime).
Everything about the anti-abortion movement is a lie, starting with the name they use for themselves.
On that note, there was an article a while back saying they needed a new name because "pro life" wasn't resonating with people anymore. It's not the fucking name that's the problem, you evil bastards, it's more and more people realizing that they have no stake in what other people decide to do with their pregnancies and that it's nice to have that option because you can't predict your circumstances.
Yeah by the time you see the “hell is real” signs you’ve seen enough of rural Ohio to know it’s true
The right to life group in my toen has ads saying "Stop Taxpayers funded abortion" which is just a flat out lie.
