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

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!

Hmm. There's a degree to which it feels like she's shoving canned goods from the pantry out of sight into her purse while she's saying this, but I do agree with her basic point here. Especially the way parties are treated like football teams.
Probably would have worked better if she hadn’t abandoned the metaphor and swapped to another one.
She went with whatever she felt would be most impactful for the message portion, rather than the whole thing.
It seems disingenuous because it is. It’s not a coherent thought. At best it’s a bunch of unrelated thoughts crammed together. Probably based on what she thinks will hit. As sound bites.
So don’t feel bad not trusting it; it’s not even internally consistent. Even if you agree with part of it, a stopped clock is right at least once.
I hate it when this happens
Shirley, you know someone worse.
There's always Ted Cruz, and don't call me Shirley.
I’m sure we all do.
And don’t call me Shirley.
Please don't call me Shirley
pls call me shirley senpai uwu
He, even Hitler loved dogs...
This is the process of MTG becoming Woke.
I seriously wish a whole lot more conservatives and "moderates" and "independents" would pay more attention to sportsball instead of voting for Republicans for culture war reasons. They definitely treat culture war/wedge issues like sportsball...
You just gave me an idea.
Implement voting in sports, but only for big things. Who should be LocalTeam's coach? Who should be HomeTeam during BigGame? How much should your team splurge on the latest star player?
They would be too busy with all of that to worry about politics.
They're pissed about sportsball because sportsballers started protesting while still respecting the flag by kneeling and now they refuse to watch sportsball.
"Two party toxic political system"
Maybe she really is going to run with Musk's party
Well someone convinced Trump to divide the Republicans into groups apparently, so they'll probably split into Repugnant, Repulsive, and the Democrats will find a way to split into Corporate centrists and progressives, why... Because they can't possibly take advantage of a divide and try to win back both houses
I mostly remember her screaming at a man who survived a school shooting that he was a crisis actor.
And screaming “you lie” at Joe Biden at his SOTU for no obvious reason.
Maybe people would listen to her if she didn’t act like an unhinged lunatic grifter.
