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!

Ok, so we aren't worth the effort because the collective shittiness of everyone on the planet is destroying the coastline. Cool. Fuck you. I didn't choose to be born here and I can't afford to leave. I'm glad there's people like you out there that are so quick to flippantly dismiss the lives of 21 million people
That's not how I interpreted their comment. It seems to me that they were making a statement about the broad political climate of Florida being somewhat of a lost cause, using the example of ineffectively trying to stop the ocean from reclaiming the land while simultaneously railing against efforts to combat climate change.
You specifically are not the problem, but a majority of your neighbors are. The problem isn't going to be fixed by national political forces, y'all need to organize and fix it yourselves.
This.☝🏼 Thank you.
"Flippantly dismiss"? Ironic, while you do the same to 2,610,726 Floridians in your juvenile tantrum. FFS, Florida's population has been above 21 million people for over five years, you nonce.
The census info from 2020 puts the population at 21.78 million. I'm not going to scour the web for realtime population updates for a fucking comment on the Internet. And if we're going to be that pedantic, your numbers are wrong too. 25 people are born every hour in Florida. Better hope those numbers you pulled are up to date!
My juvenile tantrum? Thats hilarious coming from some dipshit that came in from nowhere to hurl insults at me and insinuate that I'm a sexual predator. Just wanna be angry cause I got a number wrong? Does your diaper need changed too? Is mommy weaning you off the teat and that's why you're grumpy? Fucking pathetic
Waaah. It's Wikipedia and took 30secs to find, cupcake. Jog on and stay in Florida. Please. 🤣
