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!

There.
In Colorado the GOP has a covid denier in charge who claims it was a military psyops program. It's no wonder 95% of voters reject the GOP. Downside is that 95% live in the front range so the Western Slope is all in on the GOP dumbness.
Having the Arizona republican party on its heals is a bit shocking considering how shitty that state has been for the previous 12 years. At the same time, pretty familiar with it and do understand its not the monolith Dems and Pubs want to pretend it is.
I think they figure that Democrats will keep running people who do what Republicans want, so they're free to fight amongst themselves.
Too bad they dont run people Democratic voters want..
With the addition of major problems in Georgia.
I feel like I say “I’m from Georgia” a lot as a disclaimer on here, but don’t underestimate how much money and power the Georgia GOP and the ‘good ole boys’ that back them can swing. There is a LOT of old racist power in Augusta that will fight tooth and nail to prevent their status quo from changing, I’d revel in seeing them taken down but I’ll be skeptical until I see the corpse
