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!

How does anyone stand living in such a state? I'd move, family and job and friends be damned.
I udes to live in a smaller town in Upstate NY. Earlier this year I returned there for some family stuff. So many people told me they want to move to Florida because they love desantis. I didnt even ask. And i dont live in Fl. Its jusr a small town and they know im from outnof town so they tell me about thier national aspirations as a result. It's truly incomprehensible to me. Honestly, most of thier hardline issues at this point just mystify the fuck out of me. Just stop pretending to be good people at least already.
Upstate NY is kind of wild. I don't live too far away and have driven through some of those towns and they are definitely rural folk.
I hear they call burgers "steamed hams" for some reason.
I wrote a whole comment about Connecticut and steamed burgers before realizing this was a Simpsons reference lol
Checking in from the Albany area! They're only real steamed hams if the Aurora Borealis is localized entirely in the kitchen while it's being made.
