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!

My deeply red town voted in all dems for positions of power. I've never been more surprised.
Whoa which state? Thats nuts!! Read my comment on this post too Ohio and Florida are both jumping ship too
Wonder what other states will as well
Pennsylvania. My town is specifically in a rural part of SW PA.
Looks like my entire county flipped!
I'm hopeful for the first time in a looooong time.
Keep up your hope mate we got this!!
Read goodgoodgood.co article talking about a Study on Hope that was done couple months ago. Most important thing to have
Also get active!! And get more Pennsylvania people active too. Every state is actively getting more people doing consistently
It's a whole movement wherever you look online. Try to join clmmunities in-person amd online and roll on forward
Together we can all do anything!!!
I've been making plans to go out and help the cause. It's been hard because I'm barely surviving with the income I make and my health has been pretty bad. I do remind everyone I know to vote and I provide information on things to those people so they can make informed decisions. I'm going to look into online stuff that I can do to help and I'm going to the next No Kings thing
Ask everyone you know and are getting to know for work. I'm very certain multiple people will be willing to offer a job that pays better. You got this! Referrals are biggest thing to help get better paying work quick. Be personable and so many doors open. Keep going you will get better!!
Try to push for No Kings in your areas to help with making national daily protests a reality sometimes. Take breaks for your health amd enjoy life as much as you can
I'd say focus more on your health and income to be stable. Prefer that instead of everything else above that I said. I'll encourage other Pennsylvania people and continue to get other people in current and neighboring states as well
I'm already looking for a better job. My current job is so goddamn toxic. It's hard because the market for my kind of work is ABYSMAL. I have all of my friends asking their employers for things and I'm considering taking up an easy part time gig on weekends if I can get back in with the nonprofit I worked for in college
