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!

Can I not be mad about the toaster and the house at the same time? Is there something about humans that makes it so we can only care about one issue at a time?
And youre comparing people being denied the right to keep their animals (some would refer to this as "property") when they need to leave an abusive household, to a toaster.
Demonizing you? I put your argument into perspective. YOU made the comparison, I pointed it out. Thats on you bud.
If you think I'm "willfully misinterpreting" you, maybe consider what you say before you say it, and consider there are real human beings being affected by the words you use. Consider that, yeah, the country is fucking burning down, and inside that country, there are 100s, maybe thousands of people with pets in domestic violence households, and you just told all those people to shove it because there are bigger issues.
100's maybe 1000's hahagahagahahahaha, that so funny 🤣🤣🤣
I hope something fucked up happens to you and your shit gets taken away and someone comes along and tells you there a bigger issues asshole.
I hope you live a long, happy and prosperous life. And I can say that honestly, because I'm confident knowing that I make my decisions and hold my views for the benefit of all, even when it's hard.
Your views that want to hide the hardships of the few because the hardships of the many are somehow more important? Right, have fun "benefitting everyone".
As you like.
