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.

I could manage it, but bigotry doesn't deserve respect or civility.
Do they have to be independent to be different things?
Why should your dumbass opinion backed by literally nothing but "my experiences" deserve to be discussed or considered at all? Do you have any skin in this game at all or is being a bigot just a fun pastime for you? Do you have any training in these fields? Any new data to discuss? You've got an uneducated opinion backed by nothing and discounted by the people who actually study this that you think is hot shit because you like the smell of your own farts.
In response: why does your perspective bear more weight than mine? That is an impressive ivory tower you are constructing. My responses have been civil and open. All I am getting from you is angst and presumption... and frankly that's a bad look.
I'm happy to discuss things but I won't hesitate to point out you are acting like a child at present.
Ahhh shucks, I love when bigots think I'm not being civil enough 😊.
Did I come here and post obvious bait to try and convince people? Does my opinion go against the people who study this for a living? Does my position have a complete lack of evidence to support it? It's like you walked in here and posted some bait about the earth being flat, refused to provide a shred of evidence, and are now complaining about our positions not being on equal footing. They aren't. If you want to convince people, and you want to contravene scientific evidence you are the one who has to prove it.
My position bears more weight because there is actual evidence and experts on my side.
Again, your bigotry deserves no respect and your "how very uncouth of you" does nothing. Save the whinging for the safe space you crawled out from. I'm sure all the other bigots will be there to hold your hand and congratulate you.
More generic hand waving and resorting to mudslinging. If I were actually here to troll rather than have a discussion I wouldn't be engaging with others in earnest.
I'm acquainted with your type and identified it early on. You simply mimic the masses rhetoric and have nothing of substance to bring to the table. When pressed you only can get angry and use that to mask this shortcoming. Honestly though, most people can identify this behavior... children do it frequently. Most grow out of it.
I provided you a rope to come back and have civil discourse - you opted to hang yourself with it. Predictable, but a shame.
Ohh of course. You only wanted a civil discussion. That's why you immediately compared trans health care to pedophilia and called your own statement an insane position. That's also why you have continuously failed to provide evidence for a single claim you've made. Ya, you totally just wanted a calm discussion of intellectuals.
I am proud that you think so little of me. It warms my heart. The hate of bigots is the coal my generators need. You keep saying you're going to stop responding but you don't. You know you like it, come on...Keep it going...Fuel my generators baby.
