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!

Hm, yeah. I suppose there's that.
There's also that despite being batshit crazy, she did push for a bill to both stop weapons from going to Isreal, and to release the Epstein files. She at least occasionally did something we agreed with, even if for the wrong reasons. She will likely just be replaced with some dipshit who won't rock the fascist boat. She was proving to be an occasionally useful idiot and will just be replaced by an idiot.
Is it possible to somehow be worse than MTG by being a totally consistent dipstick? Yes, albeit by a fairly slim margin. In the current political climate, is that likely to actually happen despite the low odds? Also yes. Do I think that's a good argument in putting up with that knuckle dragging yahoo being a publicly elected official? Eeh. Not too sure about that one.
If it was possible for her to be replaced by someone progressive you'd have a point. I don't think it is though. I don't want a potentially competent fascist replacing her. She probably did more harm to her party by sticking around, even just by going completely mask off to show other people how fucking crazy the conservatives are.
Yes in an ideal world you're right, but we're so far gone from that point that I would likely rather have her than whoever will replace her.
