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 don't even know where to begin with this....
What the fuck does it even mean? It's like buzz word salad
I think the key is "DEI bureaucracy". He's trying to say they don't let white kids into Yale unless they're trans because being 'just white' isn't enough diversity.
Your first time experiencing conservatism?
According to JD "Couch-Fucker" Vance, I transitioned at 32 years old to... get into Harvard or Yale? Or become a DEI hire? I already have a degree and was already gainfully employed. I actually lost rights and privilege transitioning. I'm just a woman, simple as that. Maybe if he finally comes out of the furniture store and embraces his true self, he could get past this? This man is fucking dangerous and creepy as fuck.
You can tell Trump has his arm so far up Vance’s ass he's speaking for him.
No, Trump isn't thinking about it on that level. You think Trump is concerned about kids deciding they're Trans to get into Yale? His only concern is that when he goes to grab a pussy, he doesn't get a handful of dick instead.
(Unless that dick is Rudy in drag, but we all know about that one....)
You’re saying Vance is a creepy ventriloquist meat puppet. You know, that does explain a lot.
Sheer factual wrongness aside, most GOP rhetoric around LGBT people is based on not just a complete lack of empathy, but active avoidance of empathy. Not for one moment will they consider what gender dysphoria might feel like to an adolescent child, or how strongly wrong they would have to feel it to actually transition.
They could imagine these things easily but they work extremely hard not to.
