Is political affiliation a protected class?

[ThisIsMe]

If it isn't, should it be? I think it should. With race, gender, sexual orientation, and others being among those listed as protected classes, why not one of the most fundamental things in this country? Your affiliation to a political party?

Why shouldn't you be protected on the basis of your ideology and whom you vote for?

Granted, USMB, and many talk shows would vanish overnight, but, would it not be worth it to be able to freely believe, and vote, without the fear of persecution, ridicule, and exclusion?

Dimm's are protected.
They have Big Tech censoring the opposition and most of MSM in their corner.
And then, there is the FBI, .......

The problem isn’t too few “protected classes” it’s too many.

I agree with the founding fathers, that there should not be political parties.

Maoist/DSA Democrats believe that they're or should be a protected class. Look at how they're treated in the courts. Where they should be given years in jail they're given months or serve time in half houses.

BTW, Why is it that male and female dogs after being castrated or neutered are still considered male and female and not transgendered?

Political discrimination only applies to federal employees.

That's funny, I was just thinking about this

If people are going to start picking on people with MAGA hats, why shouldn't they be a protected class?

That's exactly why I suspect we will find most of the left against this, because it benefits them to be able to "cancel" people they don't like politically.

I agree with the founding fathers, that there should not be political parties.

But we do have them, so, how do you feel about my proposal. Should political affiliation be a protected class?

It would apply the other way too though.

I'm still gonna shoot commies, protected or not.

I kid, I kid. I'm not really like this in real life, I have a wife and two kids and a house and a car and a job.

Since I wholeheartedly disagree with the very existence of political parties, and wish to see them outlawed, I would say No.

Agreed. Maybe the current climate will make everyone realize what asshats are running the political parties we currently have and abandon them.

This is already law in some areas... First and foremost... Washington D.C.

It's number 12...

My dogs still have their dicks! They also are not dressing as female dogs.

We need to bring in some bitches in drag, educate you bigots.

The biggest issue I have with political parties is that they become the reason for most actions by the elected officials.

The DNC wants to beat the GOP more than they want to accomplish anything for their constitutents. And the GOP is the same.
