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!

Look at all the rats fleeing the sinking ship.
Cowards. Make a mess. Can't have the decency to clean it up.
It's because the American Dairy Council is suing him. They claim that his surname is confusing to consumers.
We prefer the quietermilks of Wisconsin, personally
Exactly HOW loud is his milk, though?
Take down every name of every complicit one of them. No mercy for fascists. No quarter for these pedophile protecting monsters.
is this good or bad for Republicans?
on the one hand, it seems like that district of GA is likely to go GOP regardless, right? But I guess there is a question of who is lined up to replace him, and whether that Republican is a Trump loyalist or not.
Interesting question really. From his wiki, he's held around 60% of the votes from his district since he first came in. It's been heavily gerrymandered it looks like, but even so the Democrats have had a high of 40% in 2020.
Without someone more knowledgeable, I'd have to agree with your question of if it's going to be a loyalist or not.
I would be a bit surprised if the Democrats don't put some effort into it, if for no other reason to make the Republicans spread their money in a ground game. Even a minor chance of an upset could make it difficult for them, especially given the other issues in Georgia electorally.
I can't believe 'Trump loyalist' is even still a thing. We should be calling them accessories to crimes before during and after the fact at this point.
if anything it's more of a thing now than in the past, more and more GOP members rely on Trump endorsements
From my observations, a Trump endorsement seems to be more likely to result in a loss.
Trump-endorsed candidates have done awful every time his name wasn't on the ballot alongside them. You know how his candidate in Texas just got demolished by a +30% swing to the left? Despite outspending the Democrat candidate almost 5:1?
Just imagine a thirty year old MAGA nominee who gets to spread his/ her hate for the next 40 years over the american people.
For the love of god, people, go out and vote in the midterms!
