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!

This is really showing why this an effective strategy. If you called any of those fine gentlemen getting flogged at Folsom "weird" they won't care. In fact they would take it as a compliment, own it and may even mention that this isn't even their weirdest form. Do it to a conformist republican and they freak out and show how weird they are and obsessed with what other people do.
I absolutely fucking love that this triggers them
Weird is a beautiful word. I'm a circus sideshow performer, aka professional freak. In the sideshow we celebrate the weird and unusual and outlandish (but not these two, we're all hippy communists).
So the fact that this word triggers them is just 🤌🏼😙
What do you do? That sounds rad
I'm not sure how it shows how it is effective, the article is really just "look some more people on Twitter called this no-name candidate weird." It doesn't touch on at all if this is an effective strategy that will sway voters.
It's just more of the hard hitting and deep digging "journalism" I've come to expect from lgtbnation.
You're being weird.
lgbtqnation is a garbage site. If it makes me weird to say it, I can live with that.
