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!

Someone saw how amazing and loving the Heeler family was and decided "this makes me mad, I'm going to make an intolerant version of this that fits my world view!". Not to mention I can't remember politics ever even coming up in bluey when I watch it with my kids.
Like every work of art, it’s full of politics:
No wonder it triggers right-wingers.
Not to mention, it even caters to actual dogs! The colour scheme used was designed to only use colours that dogs can see.
I never heard that before. Very cool!
It's one of those fake TikTok "facts" that's only kind of true. The Heelers are blue/orange, which does work decently well with Deuteranopia (red-green color blindness), and is closest to what dogs' vision is like. But it's mostly just a coincidence, and there's plenty of cases where scenes really don't work well if you run them through a Deuteranopia filter, and Chili/Bingo really blend into the background a lot of the time.
I've never heard this before and don't know if it's true or not... but if you told me that Ben Shapiro and his ilk were absolutely furious it, I'd say that sounds a hundred percent on brand for them.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of sounds? IIRC, dogs see in monochrome.
That's a myth. They can see a very limited palette of colors.
Ben Shapiro is a cancerous colon wart.
That's not fair to cancer.
I'm fine with that.
Yeah, at least cancer has the decency to not be contagious from one moron to another.
That's not fair to colons or warts either. In fact, my colon feels devalued by your comment.
Everyone knows the dad is supposed to come home angry about what he's listened to all day about the left, beat his wife and kids mercilessly to show them who's really in charge, and not engage in any meaningful way with them at all before passing out drunk.
It's as American as apple pie!
Which, coincidentally, isn't even American.
Hey, we stole that from the Dutch, fair and square.
Politics came up. Politics is just a name for any way a group makes decisions. Families are groups and they need to make decisions. Any time a TV show explores the question of "how can a family get along with each other", it's textbook politics.
