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!

MODERATORS
Now do Pennsylvania.
Looks like the Dem won the PA Supreme Court seat, so that might happen through a ruling
PA supreme court was already solidly blue and had the seat gone red it wouldn't have made a difference. A voter approved constitutional amendment is the way to go to actually enshrine it and not just kick the can until it isn't fresh in everyone's mind.
Great chance that it happens and fucks over Republicans
I mean, I’m conservative leaning and generally trend republican, just less so since Dobbs. I just wish the left would drop gun control or the right would drop abortion. Is it so much to ask that I’m not picking between which right I’m willing to give up with either side?
I think for gun control we need to have discussions across the aisle about how we stop all the shootings. It needs input from people who actually use guns to make sure the policies actually address the root cause. Plus a lot of these shootings could be prevented if we just properly funded and executed the laws we already have.
I digress though, I see your point. I still want to see gun control, but I want to do it in a manner that's smart and gets people like you on board.
