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!

Tbh is pretty accurate. My only wish is we had some good equivalent term for males, because the Republican party is chock-full of male goldigging whores
I just don't think this lady's hypothetical sexual promiscuity is the main problem here you know? This shouldn't be controversial.
The problem is the fascism- detaining and deporting people for being the wrong color and stirring up hate against them.
From the dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore
3. a mercenary or unscrupulous person : a person who is willing to compromise their integrity or principles for personal gain or in pursuit of something
I think you might be the only person who read the comment, and immediately think about the sexual meaning of this.
What I agree with you though, it that the term is mostly applied to women, hence why I was looking for a term that can be applied easily to men such as Ted Cruz (the master whore), or McConnell. Plenty of whoring in the Republican party males.
Its quite upsetting that when this behavior is done by males, we always try to find other slurs (sleazy etc), and when a woman do it, this one always comes out first. It should be applied equally. But that said, again, its the perfect description for what she is doing atm.
