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!

I'm really worried about the future of the country. I live in deep red Louisiana and all of my family and friends are hardcore Trumpers so I can't discuss any of my concerns. My vote won't matter so all I can do is hold out hope that Harris/Walz can take the swing states.
Still vote. Adds to the popular if nothing else.
I'll be doing that for sure — I've got a bunch of highly competitive local races that I care about.
Voted for Allred in Texas. Because fuck Ted Cruz.
Gotta wonder if his name being "Allred" will confuse any MAGAts who otherwise wouldn't into voting for him. Like "We need to vote all red to help Dear Leader as much as we can. Ah, here it is, Allred". Like, the number isn't likely to be high, but seems like something that would have a decent probability of happening a nonzero number of times.
Something of the opposite for Rafael "Ted" Cruz sounding like a Latino Dem, while Collin Allred sounds like an Irish Republican.
Considering there was a trans woman who got elected as a county sheriff in New Hampshire a few years ago while running a "defund the police" campaign because she was the only one to run as a Republican candidate and nobody bothered to do their homework before voting for every R on the ballot, I'd say chances are pretty good.
Yeah, those of us living outside swing states are basically limited to kicking in money and volunteer time. I'm lucky in that I was able to catch a bus to a swing state this past weekend, and spend a couple days knocking on doors.
Good on you!
I am surprised that you are still in contact or friends with any hardcore trumpers. Those are toxic people.
Stay strong.
