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!

My favorite part of being a Midwest leftist is being able to tell dumbasses like Vance that I've never spent more than a week in California
I need some Texas leftists with the same please. And some Don't Mess with Texas on the side. And as a treat, a little bit of, "better shot than a Republican" at the range.
So tired of crappy wimpy corporate Dems getting the primary win, then getting slaughtered in the general.
Fun fact: "Don't Mess With Texas" was originally an anti-littering slogan.
It was since adopted as a way to deflect criticism of a state so bad that even its own flag rates it one star.
I still remember those anti-littering campaigns. It was nice when we took care of things.
Don't lose hope, they're out there!
We woulda been blue decades ago if not for gerrymandering. Even with it, closer every year.
Yeah, Texas might actually be the single most gerrymandered state in the entire country and that says a fucking LOT!
Vance literally is not fooling anyone, except maybe Trump.
I wish, but we're way too far into the Post-Truth era for reality to matter. If one of their guys says Walz is a coastal elite, then he is one, despite being literally the most Midwestern man alive.
I've lived on another continent for all of my life and I've been there for twice as long as that twice! You must be REALLY conservative! 😉😄
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
Never trust the word of a conservative.
You forgot the crown jewel technique of MAGA"conservatives" - projection.
Is this seriously the best they can come up with?
C'mon. put up a better fight. Do something.
And no, Vance, don't do that. Step away from the sofa.
No, not the dolphins, either
This one's not landing for me, maybe I've heard this before but I'm not sure what he's implying with "San Francisco style". Is that thin crust or deep dish? Does it come with mozzarella or anti-queer dogwhistle? I only spent an afternoon once in SF and I never had a chance to sample their "style" of liberal. Someone help me out here?
It means "he's one of them city boys that don't drive a pickemup truck and don't fuck couches"
There's broccoli on it

Vance also has a residence in a DC suburb which votes like 75% Democrat, and is arguably even more liberal than SF in many ways. The outer suburbs are more conservative, but JD Vance would never debase himself by living among such boring, sterile plebs.
Well to be fair there's 3 discount furniture stores in that liberal suburb, he can't live too far from his dating service
@usernamesAreTricky #Vance certainly knows about “style” with all that eyeliner.
Unrelated to the comment itself: I kind of forget that mastodon instances are federated with lemmy instances sometimes. How do lemmy posts look on your end?
Good gawd. The man is going to be stomped on.
