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!

Gen Z "men" voted for Trump because they're racist sexist homophobic pieces of shit like their fathers are.
Their fathers were absent. Andrew Tate raised them.
Elder millennial parents pioneered unparenting. They are insufferable and have the shittiest kids. The iPad generation is how I know them.
Hopefully young men in this country wake up before the wars Republicans always start turn them into casualty statistics.
Edit: I'm a younger parent than the people I'm bitching about.
You can't even go out to a brewery in my area without a bunch of unparented kiddos running around your feet.
Some of them even have their fucking birthdays at the brewery. Happy 8th, Stetson! Your first present this year is watching Mommy and Daddy get hammered and have public arguments.
Ah yes the alcoholic parent. We pioneered this one ourselves. Quite the accomplishment. Having never seen our parents slam down Natty Ice each day after work, we had no idea what we were getting into.
Never before in history, had anyone ever chosen to have a drinking problem, and kids simultaneously.
Yeah, comments like the one you are responding to, are ignorant of history. Millennials drink less than previous generations, as Z drinks less than Millennials. Also what we now call unparenting has been a thing for long time. I have read articles discussing not disciplining your child, and believing their natural curiosity will lead them to what they need to be successful, as a concerning trend, from the 19th century. For a much more modern example, the Simpsons did a bit about this decades ago. In a flashback to Ned's childhood, he is an absolute terror, and his beatnik/hipster parents are talking to a specialist about it, and say "we've tried nothing, and we are all out of ideas". When I was a teen, in the 90s, there was a massive trend of not disciplining, or properly educating, your child because "you will just be killing their creativity".
Every single generation gets accused of creating the worst children ever, and they were just so much better back in the day. It's quite literally a tale as old as time.
Ah yes the tale as old as time about people throwing their child's birthday parties at the local microbrewery and having them run around the establishment and play loud video games on iPads.
You're right, there has been millennia of truck dads and wine moms convening for hazy IPAs and taco trucks while not watching their five year old in public.
Ah yes, the long, storied history of microbreweries and having birthday parties for children at them.
I get that you're being a sarcastic asshole, but birthdays for 5 and 8 year olds at what is basically a pub is definitely a newer thing. Maybe they always had them in ancient Sumeria or some shit, but here in the states it took a while for places like this to even allow children into them.
