The whole "but they might not be on the ballot in Ohio" rings a lot less worrisome when you see that Trump is +9 in the state vs Biden:

Ohio is Trump country. Deep, deep Trump country. From end-to-end (with maybe the exception of Columbus?). Even Cleveland loves Trump.Trump is so popular here, there are permanent Trump signs. Local businesses use Trump to advertise. One recent roadside ad said "Biden is more confused than Michelle Obama's gynecologist."

This was a sign put up by a prominent construction company on a main road. The company is doing great.

The whole "Michelle Obama is a crossdresser" myth again? What even be the point of that in a world where being trans is only controversial to your Uncle who brings a red hat

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Because the person putting up the sign is your uncle wearing a red hat.

[-] candybrie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Because in Ohio, they're all that uncle in the red hat. That's the point they were trying to make.

Eh, there are far, far less trump signs than there were in 2020.

Mark Kelly would give Trump one hell of a fight in Ohio.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
