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!

Hi everyone, European here. I have a quick question: Are Georgians fucking broken or why did they vote this person into office?
She had no opponent. He dropped out because he was getting death threats.
Also yes, white Southern conservatives are broken people who only feel better when someone else is suffering.
My guess is the only way this is gonna change is when people like her get dragged into the street and beaten to death by a crowd
Makes sense. The death threats don't come as a surprise. But I am also not shocked to hear she only made it this way. What a shit person she is.
It is known. I hate this timeline.
I’m from Georgia. But I’m from Atlanta which is a big city. Obviously she’s a nut job. She’s from a tiny tiny district that has only like 10,000 people.
This is the result of gerrymanding such that you get heavily concentrated districts and have insane people who run unopposed.
She does NOT represent the entire state. We voted for Biden and have two democratic senators. We are very “purple” but trending blue.
I understand. I’m sorry for the BS you are going through.
The good thing is we are fighting the good fight here. It’s somewhat exciting to be part of a swing state. I’m voting in every election and trying my best to mobilize others also. I could probably do more…
The cruelty is the point. These pathetic southern losers feel like they can't win at much of anything in life so they want to make sure everyone else is losing, too.
I grew up in Georgia, not the part she represents, and while there is no shortage of batshit crazy white people in my home state her particular district is a place I will never return. It’s right on the border of Alabama and populated by people who are afraid of ‘the big city’(meaning brown people, immigrants, and lgbtq people)and moved as far as they could from Atlanta while still driving there for work
I live thousands of KMs away and I still hate Atlanta.
