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!

Not all the blame, there's still something like 40% who blame Democrats and always will no matter what.
Trump’s GOP is receiving most of the blame, by most normal folks
But you’re correct there’s a certain percentage of “tricked voters” who believe the party who controls all three branches of the government, taking away their rights and safety nets aren’t “to blame”
I don’t take seriously the opinions of anyone General Sherman would have set on fire
Brainwashed racist God-botherers.
Plenty of places that didn't burn that should have.
Well, unfortunately those people vote religiously. And there are tens of millions of them.
Did you happen to hear any election results from Tuesday night?
You mean in NYC and NJ? Two places that were notoriously not part of the Confederation?
Virginia is promising, but they've always been on the borderline when it comes to north/south division.
When we are talking about Sherman, the first thought goes to Georgia which was a win for the left. I believe this is what the commentor above was referencing.
Yeah I mean West Virginia was literally formed because they didn't want to secede along with the rest of the Commonwealth. It's kind of ironic that WV is deep red and VA is bluish-purple now.
It's sad what has happened to WV. It used to be one of the strongest union states, but I guess racism is more important to people down there.
