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!

Texas in succession would not look unlike the West Bank before October of last year.
A shitshow of Israelis shooting other Israelis while secessionists pop out of house windows firing RPGs and tens of thousands of civilians are slaughtered needlessly?
As a Houstonian... shit sucks and I would prefer we not.
No, I meant that it would be blockaded and isolated until you left or dealt with the terrorists that you and your neighbors have chosen to represent the place.
TIL, Lina Hidalgo, Sallie Alcorn, and Liz Fletcher are terrorists.
I don't mean who your neighbors literally have chosen right now or at one time or another, I mean overall, the state, over all time, those people whom the citizens of the state have collectively picked to be the winners, who've over time led us to where we are right now.
Western democracy is already something of a joke. But in a state as germanderred and caged as Texas, I hope you realize how you sound.
We lock people up for voting in this state.
I mean it's a flawed democracy. It's still democracy. Convince your damn neighbors.
It's not the votes that count, but who counts the votes.
I think you're mixing up Gaza and the west bank.
The west bank is ran by Fatah, part of PLO and Arafat's political party. Hamas runs the Gaza strip.
If Texas would be like that I guess it would be full of foreign permanent setlers. A bit counter productive
Right it wasn't a perfect analogy.
