Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 16, 2024

[u/tuesday_mod]

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Previous Discussion Thread

[u/Vanderwoolf]

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) said Thursday that Republicans have “no leverage” to demand a debt ceiling increase from Democrats right now as part of a short-term funding bill, as President-elect Donald Trump has suggested.

“It’s not even clear to me we have the right people negotiating because I thought the four corners agreed to this, and we’re back to the drawing board,” Tillis said, referring to the four top leaders of both parties of the House and the Senate. “Raises a question about who needs to be in the room and how many corners there are.”

Well as long as every GOP member of Congress acquiesces to Trump every single time there's just one corner that really matters.

If I was a GOP member, I’d just give a middle finger to everything by voting for Jeffries to really mess things up.

This is political suicide. Previous members who have tried this have lost their committee assignments.
