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!

MODERATORS
Yes, let’s see how bad they screwed us with… codifying gay marriage into our laws??
By making it a states rights issue where individual states can refuse to issue licenses if the clerk doesn't want to
What are you talking about?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respect_for_Marriage_Act
It stopped short of requiring any and all states to perform same-sex marriage but it was a definite improvement over existing law. As always I'm sure they held back on a full guarantee of a right to marriage because a handful of "moderate" Democrats refused to support it otherwise. I hope history records Manchin and Sinema as doing measurable harm to our country.
This law had enough Republicans supporting it to bypass anything the rotating villains did. Democrats inserted poison pills in it to get republican support in order to get a good headline.
Such as?
Allowing states to deny issuing a license if they didnt want to
You’re claiming it granted them a right they already had, and were already exercising? I don’t think that’s how that works.
In the states that tried to in the beginning stopped shortly afterwards. This law enables them to deny marriages.
If they stopped on their own accord, why would they start again because a new law was passed which didn’t restrict them any more than they were previously?
Right now they are required to follow federal law, RFMA would no longer require them to issue licenses if they choose not to. For personal or religious reasons. We will resign back to being second class citizens
Are you implying there is a Republican representative who would vote to codify gay marriage?
The house had them and so did the Senate. But I suppose if you took 2 minutes to look it up you would know this
I'm not defending anyone, I'm calling out the bullshit law that's in place. It's the law itself that will allow discrimination when SCOTUS strikes down Obergefell. Fucking Democrats did that to us.
Im not losing to reason, Im battling cult of personality bias.
Has there ever been a single person that democrats disagree with they didnt try to infantilize, or is the narcissism too deep?
