For fucks sake, the Democratic establishment just seems to be composed almost entirely of people who are absolute champions at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Seriously, I’m moving if Harris can’t pull out a win.

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.

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!

I wish I could move, but I wouldn’t have enough money to do so, nor do I have the necessary “high skilled worker attributes” either.
Same here, I feel your pain...
The best I could hope for is possibly teaching English in another country, but I don't know the exact requirements for that.
Most people that claim they will move haven't actually looked at what is required from other countries and wouldn't be accepted If they tried to move.
If you live in a blue state, have you thought about moving to a red state? If enough people do, they'll turn blue. (Seriously, California could easily flip the federal government by taking over a few red states. Please come to Arkansas and help us save it.)
The thing about moving to a red state is that you have to live in a red state, which is... not a fun time.
The low cost of living is nice.
Worrying about literally everything that the state government does and knowing that my neighbors, at best, care more about political alignment with their neighbors than they care about the wellbeing of the people or their freedom is not nice.
Arkansas is actually beautiful and has some trendy/lefty areas.
I think this applies to all red states, because basically all American cities lean left, but in the end your life is being affected by a republican state government and that can't be a good time. I mean you could be living in a lefty haven in Texas but you still can't get an abortion, for example.
True, and Texas is where I am. Hard to picture staying, but I never end up leaving.
Ain't gonna get better if all the good people flee and all the fashy shitheads move in.
There are just under 200,000 registered Republicans in Wyoming. If ~200,000 Democrats moved there long enough to establish residence, they could get a Democratic senator in 2026. Doesn't seem insurmountable.
Doesn't even have to be 200,000 Democrats. There are about 30,000 registered Democrats in Wyoming already.
Shut the fuck up Bill.
Came here to say that exact thing. If only he would read it.
So, about those Native Americans
Is there like a specific age at which someone's brain becomes mush, or is it just random? 🤔
Another Zionist excuse
Like he was forced to starve 500,000 Iraqi children?
Great way to show your colors bill.
Maybe just shut the fuck up for a few more days? What a silly old man.
He speaks for the entire centrist wing.
I'm guessing that Israel has all the Epstein files and photos thanks to the mossad. That's how they operate.
et tu ?

bill doesn't even know what the meaning of "is" is.

Hillary was on his dick before the woman he exploited with a cigar in hand. Yet bill is still alive.

his willy may be slick but his skull is thick. History (including the fucking torah), archaeological records, genetic records, all say Israel was not first, and were, in fact, the ones doing all the genocide.
Why does this sex pest get a platform instead of being "cancelled" like he should be?
