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!

Texas does not represent the whole country.
Edit: Downvoted by people who have never been to the States.
Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Alabama. I'm sure there's more awful US states.
Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah, Arizona, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota. 13 states out of 50.
All of those (some more than others) have large blue pockets of sane people and the maggats are in the outskirts. The only reason the maggats have control is thanks to gerry mandering and scaring the more gullible.
Also get NC off that list. It's a bright purple state. Anyone who thinks that the NC is the same as Texas or even Tennessee has never been to Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Durham, etc. I say this is a born and ashamed Floridian but have been in NC for awhile now.
You'd think some of these red states would secede by now.
It's forbidden for them to leave rhe Union. Good luck to them trying to do it a second time.
Have an upvote. To expand on this, all of Texas doesn't represent Texas or the USA. There is a non zero chance of Texas flipping blue in the next decade or so.
It's really fun to be on the Internet and watch disconnected twats talk down to Americans about the problems we've been dreading for decades.
Ye, I've noticed the casual erosion of decency in my country like a sinkhole spreading from the south. It's hard to miss and harder to fix.
