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!

This is the goal, it's not just about keeping people in red states uneducated, it's about making educated people leave so the states stay red.
Republicans have shown over and over again that they care more about staying in office than helping their states.
Especially with the Senate system. Liberal voters leaving is the goal of most of the stupid shit they do. I don't blame people leaving, but the only way to fight this is to stay and vote.
Hahaha. Tell me more about how liberal states are dying Republicans.
Or you can move there, lol. No way I am and I would leave in a heartbeat. It's not only a relatively dumb populace, but they're also not a healthy populace.
I already live in a shitty red state, but thanks for the permission to move to WV mate
You're telling others to stay, so I'm suggesting you move there instead. I'm sorry you live in a shitty red state and I won't tell you to stay so the rest of us can be okay.
You missed the entire point here.
I feel that any politician is more concerned with staying in office than about their actual constituents. You can’t tell me that Nancy Pelosi cares about her constituents. Look at the homeless population in San Francisco alone.
Now, I’m not saying one party is better than the other. Just that they’re all morally questionable, at best.
Pelosi is a piece of shit, but the worst dem is still better than the best republican.
The two parties are not the same.
And it's safe to ignore anyone who acts like they are, or that either party is perfect
