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!

WTH?
"The world has moved on from COVID" 🤣
Cases are spiking again. People still die from COVID. I'm sure everyone would love to "move on", but...putting your head in the sand solves nothing.
Never said people can't catch covid. Of course they do, but they're not dying like the pandemic. It's down to the flu. Time to move on.
Huh, seems I've heard this song before. People were saying "it's the flu" since day one.
If you don't have anything useful to offer here, I suggest you refrain....
Or, "it's ok, it's endemic now", or, "it's ok, it's just seasonal". Nothing was learned from 2020 onward.
If anything, there's been a severe regression by some of the population. It's a real face palm. I mean, I still see anti-Fauci stickers on cars.
I mean...on the one hand, I tune in a lot to futurist/transhumanist types of things and get inspired by one segment of humanity, but then daily I'm immersed in things that just make me wonder what the hell the human species is even up to...
You keep misrepresenting what I'm saying. When I said it's down to the flu I meant since the vaccines became available.
Ever since vaccines became available, covid is like the flu, and the flu is only the flu because it also has a vaccine available, so don't bother getting the covid vaccine which has been instrumental in getting covid under control? Is that your position? Let covid go back to doing what it did to populations before vaccines by not getting the vaccines?
People die because of the flu. Flu vax work wonders.
Which is still the dumbest fucking thing in the world because it's objectively wrong and everyone in this conversation is aware of it.
