“People told me, ‘You can pass this in a minute if you take out trans.' I said, ‘I won’t pass it in 100 years because I’m not ever taking out trans.’

      Sure. But for once, just this once, can we celebrate a win?

        I agree with dunking on the deflection, but this is more a red herring logical fallacy, which is (as the image says) presenting an irrelevant (whether true or false) subject change to avoid rebutting the argument. It could also perhaps be framed as ad hominem or appeal to hypocrisy, though neither truly fit.

        Not really a straw man fallacy, which involves presenting an intentionally weak version of a relevant core argument to easily rebut it.

          There are tons of them if you just do a Google image search.

          I wish I could claim that I had made them, but I did not. I used these in Reddit arguments long past.

    The Blade called Pelosi “one of the most influential champions of LGBTQ rights in American politics,” recognizing, among other things, her HIV/AIDS advocacy, as well as the roles she played in passing the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act and in repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

    She had to make sure she wasn’t running for reelection first.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
