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!

these people just don't get harassed enough in real life by the regular citizens whose lives they destroy.. i mean this asshole can just freely go about his daily life while he actively ruins people's lives, it's criminal..
nobody stops him and asks him: hey Joe, why the hell are you selling me out?
The people there love him. WV is a clear case of voters voting against their best interest.
Because obviously everyone who doesn't just unfailingly agree with your personal views only disagrees because they're stupid.
Because WV is crumbling to pieces and being held back by their lust for the glory days of coal, when everyone got rich easily. I have two sites there I support and travel there frequently, I see the devistation going on there. Yet the voters keep voting for Republicans who are preventing them from moving forward. Obama tried to create solar panel jobs there, well the entire solar system ecosystem there, the local Republicans convinced the voters to say no to it. Theses were fantastic high paying jobs. I see the people sleeping on the streets, we have a homeless camp just outside of our office in Huntington. So maybe, just maybe, I might have an inkling of an idea of what I'm talking about.
Do you?
There's homeless people in every state. Doesn't mean that the state is crumbling just because it doesn't bankroll the bums
Reading comprehension? I have offered way more info than, there's homeless people. I have 9 years of regular experience there. I have friends that live there. I have offered facts of the political environment there. And you're counter is there homeless people everywhere.
The only other thing you brought up was the solar industry. Everything else was just flowery language with no actual facts.
If the only other thing they brought up was the solar industry, what "everything else" are you talking about? There were two things in what they said, seems like two things have been discussed and now there's "everything else" out there somewhere.
Jesus you're fucking dense.
Well, my Lemmy client didn't notify me that you had responded, but it would seem that nothing of value was missed anyhow. Do you want to actually try to explain your point, or were you just here to be an asshole?
I'm here to call out moronic trolls like the guy you're bending over backwards to defend.
Good job I guess? Congratulations?
