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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

I've never heard of this person before but I wholeheartedly endorse this sentiment.
Whooooooo fucking cares
Not like I particularly care what her opinion on the matter is, but I did coincidentally listen to all her songs today.
Oh Midwest... So in other words she's an embarrassed conservative "both sides"ing because she knows it'll hurt her image
I said that here and got lambasted but it's the truth. She's trying to play both sides
-
Who the fuck cares
-
It's obvious she's trying to appeal toward the middle to not piss off the Democrats or maggots
So in your opinion you don't think its possible to hate both parties that have continued to make things worse every four years?
I mean yes republicans suck ass but so does the party that never moved a muscle to change healthcare for all or legalize weed or any of the other shit they promised they'd do. Instead you get cheap half passed attempts like Obama care (really loved the feature where you had to pay a penalty fee that could be upwards of a couple thousand dollars if you were unable to still pay for that shit).
Yeah I can't imagine hating both parties that have been full of shit since the beginning of it all.
“I’m pretty, ‘Fuck the government, and fuck everything that’s going on right now.’” She shared the sentiment with “middle fingers in the air,” the profile notes.
Fuck which government? Federal, state, local? US? UK? China, Russia, Afghanistan? The very idea of government? You get more than three people in a group, and something that starts looking like government begins to emerge. Governments aren’t self-programmed AI robots (yet), they are groups of people. You need to be specific: “fuck insert name here”, or “fuck *particular policy.”
If I’m not in the room when the government forms it can go fuck itself.
No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened
Federal, state, local? US? UK? China, Russia, Afghanistan? The very idea of government?
Yes.
She's American
How do you survive? You really are that confused? Wow.
