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!

Liberals in California are as owned by the corporate sector as their conservative peers.
Gavin Newsom isn't coming to save you.
I don't think anyone was looking for a savior. I was just indicating that there are some states that are neatly divisible with aligned views and values: those on the West Coast.
It likely won't happen for various reasons anyway, but it's a pleasant thought.
Well you are wrong and naive.
Nah I'm not. They're building multi state accords on a number of issues.
But keep on trucking with the bullshit bud.
Again, the state is full of Republicans, many of whom are heavily influential in liberal politics. That's why you had Gavin Newsom doing podcasts with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon to begin with.
These aren't neatly divisible. Republicans and Democrats live next door to one another.
Dude, I live in California. I know there's Republicans here. You aren't blowing my mind with this. They're some of the biggest whiners in the state.
If, by some miracle, the coast became its own country they'd likely find the nearest exit.
You say that as if it is a bad thing...
To be blunt, I don't want MAGATs as my neighbors. Would happily have illegal immigrants instead, they value civilization and just want to live out a positive peace. The same cannot be said of the Republican, who exists to ruin life for everyone else.
Nah, I encourage the whiners to leave. They threaten it constantly but never actually leave. They do the same thing in New York City.
They're a whiny miserable bunch and luckily I'm not friends with any of them anymore.
Generations of Republicans have been threatening to leave California since the 1980s
