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!

Just an interesting fact, one which you may already know: "Pussy" in this context is said to be short for "pussilanimous," a word meaning (among other things) "lacking courage." (I learned this part from a very classic episode of The Simpsons!) Supposedly it is not meant to refer to any part of anyone's anatomy. If accurate, it is a much more apt use of the word.
Fuck I totally forgot about that episode! Maybe we should do away with calling that anatomy "pussy" then. Seems like the femmes have been taking back "cunt", at least in my circles, so maybe there's hope there
"Pussy" when used to describe anatomy always kind of seemed rude to me anyway. (I might not be very good at dirty talk.) Personally, I'm fine with whatever word, so long as it is widely recognized and accepted so that communication can be effective. However, I have no justification for trying to be part of the decision making process, as I am not possessed of such an organ, nor am I a medical or linguistic expert.
I don't discuss the topic often, but I would generally use specific words that I think of as neutral in casual conversations, or words that are meaningful between us if talking to my wife intimately. I probably wouldn't use "cunt," with the possible exception of when talking to an Australian.
For your nostalgia and enjoyment:
Should we spell it pusi instead?
It's okay with me!
