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!

You can do more. You can get organized and help people get organized. As someone in a state that is perma-blue, I envy you and how much political impact you could make.
no, actually, i can't, but thanks for trying to guilt trip me while acting like you know my life from a random internet comment.
since i'm not privileged enough to work or live in a "forever blue" state, i spend my days overworked and underpaid in a shitty job, and all my free time is eaten up taking shitty public transit for hours to and from that shitty job to a hovel of a room i can barely afford, where i have to then spend all my free time either looking for a better job or searching for affordable food options, which i can barely afford-- and even then i'm on the verge of both starvation and homelessness. after that, i'm lucky to get a few hours of sleep before i have to wake up and do it all over again.
so why don't YOU do more than telling others less fortunate than you what to do, and mind your own damn business, ok?
how much do you envy me now?
Hey mate just gonna say I hope ya have some good luck and can get out of that shithole of a state. Florida is the worst type of state to be in since its economy is basically dead outside of tourism, hell even Idaho is doing better. So I hope ya have a good break and can make a good life for yourself.
If you volunteer to phone bank for them I'm sure the campaign would be happy to have you call voters in Florida and other swing states.
