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!

I’m totally down with conservatives educating their kids poorly so they can’t get into college and are forced to take jobs cleaning my left wing toilet. It’s for the children, remember?
You’re right. It is. But that wasn’t my point. Is there a career choice that would better illustrate my point?
Fine jobs are curbed. But, I need an insult to use. So, help me out here. 🤷♂️
Give me an insult to use on the parents, but it has to be about how their actions will impact their child.
I feel like I’m trying to get chat gpt to answer the damn question but it’s trying to be a civil and yet judging me at the same time.
Gimme what ya got. Make the next reply be the insult I need, not another dodge
"Once your kids figure out you made their lives extra hard, you're never going to see them again and you'll die only kept company by your hatred."
Oh buddy I wish mistreated kids weren’t also usually brainwashed into never leaving. But look at the church. Pretty abusive imo. People eat that shit up.
I dunno, seems kinda bourgeois? Leftist mostly clean their own toilets. They also want to eliminate class stratification, even for those that had conservative parents.
I was being facetious.
Very dangerous line of thought there..
You'd think so wouldn't you..
So your logic is, that simply because your thought is not dangerous, then all thoughts aren't dangerous...
Clearly an action is based on a thought though.
"Keep your thoughts to yourself" has nothing to do with what we're discussing. To me it sounds like you're drunk and I see no reason to continue this conversation with you at this point
Are you kidding? All that would happen if the conservatives kids would be even less competent at the jobs their parents pay their way into. Rich people's kids don't need to be good at things. Donald Trump was president.
The majority of republicans (and most Americans for that matter) are not rich though.
You’re talking about a small group (rich people), not the whole of conservatives. I doubt Karen Cuntington from Jesus, TX is going to help their kid on her minimum wage job.
