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!

Nobody knows what it means, but it's provocative....
Seriously, they know republican voters still don't know what a tarif is.
But they're conditioned to support tarrifs and be against taxes, so Abbott can't say he's taxing them.
And he definitely can't say it's a "wealth tax"...
Like, dude went full circle and accidentally became a full on communist, probably without even realizing it.
Would republicans support taxing wealth if it’s the “right ethic group”
Germany totally “taxed” wealthy Jews at some point.
This is stupider...
He's threatening to tax wealthy New Yorkers who leave NYC after Mamdani is elected.
He should be incentizing those moves to stoke fear the wealthy would flee NYC, or at least pretending to mean that so that common new yorkers might vote against their own best interests
Like, theyve been trying to use "the wealthy will leave" right up to election day, then 180'd to "the wealthy can't leave".
The wealthy are already voting for Cuomo
I wouldn't assume that, I bet there are a bunch of wealthy cat ladies on Staten Island voting for Sliwa....
