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!

The first time I heard about him he was described as something along the lines of "a lib but had a good platform to run on." And then it was about Oz. But he listened to his supporters and won by sticking to his platform.
Which sucks all the more that he's made such a turn. There's no way to really prove it but I am convinced those strokes changed him.
I still stand by the choice that he was better than Oz.
marginally, sure. but given that choice....
it's time for him to go now though.
Personality change after stroke is a thing
I don't know how similar it is to a stroke but I suffered a TBI a little over 10 years ago, and while I can recall maybe being somewhat different I don't "feel" any different or discontinuity.
However, Those close to me on the other hand have noticed severe antisocial traits come out in me. Lying, stealing, and belligerent behavior that was never a part of my personality before are things I've had to identify, accept, and work on.
my hypothesis is that people who suffer TBI don't have an independent baseline to judge from, being stuck in our own heads, whereas externally people can compare you to your past behavior and notice change.
frame of reference
Good luck on your journey. ❤️
