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!

New strategy. Make more fucking college towns.
Would making more colleges make them cheaper? Because if so, double bonus!
You unintentionally(?) came up with a brilliant strategy! Fucking colleges! There's no way those won't be popular!
Plus, a ton of people could use some real education in that area.
That's gonna be tough. Saying this as a recent M.S. graduate of a FL university, I got the hell out. I'm starting a PhD program very soon, but there's absolutely no way I'm doing it in a state where I'm reasonably worried that the next piece of legislation is going to result in Desantis' brownshirts arresting me for thought crimes. Red states are dangerous places for academics.
No, no, no... fucking colleges! You know... where you can get a BS in....
Oh, nevermind. It wasn't a good joke to begin with.
Friend, you tried. And that's all that matters. Here's to fucking colleges <3

Every non GOP person needs to leave these dangerous states and then we do all the things to the remaining GOP populace that speaking of violate the T.O.S. of this site / forum.
The US also needs to rethink the way the electoral college works. Cos those GOP states still have ability to set federal law that apply to all.
I've been rather hoping that Cali starts to discuss secede from the union (I wouldn't be at all surprised to find one the the far right states tried to do it first).
If I told you there are people with MS degrees (that is MS not MA) who believe now the earth is flat, what would your reactions be? I ask because there are many who believe formal education in science serves as immunization to stupidity. It doesn't!
Pretty sure regular colleges are fucking colleges, what with all them hormones & youth.
