Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Canada has given the world some of the worst extremists, racists, etc. (Proud Boys being one of the more recent horrible things we've exported)

There's a group that popped up during the convoy called diagolon. They posted this way back which seems like how things would work (a path from Russia to Florida)

They claim it's a joke, but isn't it always just a joke.

I'm hoping Cascadia finally gets realized. I want to uninvite Idaho, though.

Since the House and EC are capped, we should take the excess population that is not being represented and move it around.

California would do so much better on its own I feel like

Failed mouthpiece for evil reasserts itself as newer, more extreme evil.

Can we just give Florida and Texas to Mexico? Split CA into like 3-5 states. Uncap the house. Voila, country is fixed... somewhat fixed.

Is that a promise? I'm here for it

Can the purple states decide whether to stay with mom or dad? Maybe in 2 years when the farmers are all destitute

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Hey, I love my state. You can't just leave it to the whims of these schizophrenic fuck-knuckles.

Who gets the swing states?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

Put them on a swing and see what happens, obviously.

Predictable. The donvict-humpers supposedly "win", and then get even MORE angry. Why so angry?

I suspect it's because for this brief period of time, anyway, it's hard for them to avoid just how HATED they and their precious golden donvict truly are. They thought they'd "win" and all the normal Americans around them would just disappear. And yet, Karens like Green continue to get confronted by normal people.

Because we've stolen their martyrdom from them by losing.

Ooo. Maybe she should be secretary of the treasury.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 15 hours ago

she would be very surprised if she could read. i wonder who would pay for a lot of walls that would need to be built, though.

There should be a bot that searches out MarjorieTG posts and auto-comments ”What a fucking idiot.”

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago

Nah. Make it look like the call is coming from inside the house.

.......yeah, ok. Sounds good.

moves to California

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

It's expansive here in the places you may want to live, but seriously... It's worth it. There's also a lot of cheap places that aren't as ideal.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 14 hours ago (6 children)

It'll never happen. US Military would never willingly split itself apart, let itself get split apart, or let another nation that it's not allied with have any sort of Army on its equivalent. The 50 states are here to stay.

Never say never. The domestic terrorists/agents of Putin are aching for an actual shooting civil war.

I’ve got “Hotel California” and “San Francisco” battling it out in my head now.
