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!

The military not flying the pride flag isn't an attack.
The government should fly the american flag, and maybe their state flags. They shouldn't be waving some government endorsed religious symbols. If the pride flag can be waved, what's to stop MAGA flags from being waved at the white house and in military bases?
I'm mainly with ya, but the pride flag is religious? Did you mean to say that?
When your religion is just bigotry wearing pious makeup, anything tolerant is perceived as an attack on that religion.
I mean not really. We just don't care for public services and funding that is supposed to teach our kids math, instead teach them how to socially transition.
If you want to transition back and forth 100 times, we're fine with that. Don't take our money and teach our kids how to transition then act like you're 'being attacked'
If you want your kids to remain uneducated, pull them out of school and teach them everything you know.
Don't mandate bigotry just because your church demands it.
It essentially seems like the LGBTQIA2S+ has turned to a religion. So yeah, the flag is equivalent to a religious symbol.
Well, they seem to have figured out kindness to others better than Christianity has in 2000 years or so.
The started by attacking trans folks, then they'll attack the gays, then they'll be back to attacking BIPOC. That's how these turds roll...
who is 'they' and how are they attacking trans folks?
Anyone that is removing the rights of marginalized people. As a reminder you folks in the states only have conservative political parties so both of them can and do trample on rights all the time. There is no "left or right" in the States.
