North Carolina will vote for the GOP. And then cry on social media when they drive the state further into the ground, take away snap, diddle little kids, no money for hurricane relief, etc.

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!

Hey man, I live here. We're not a republican state. We have more registered Democrats than Republicans, and between the two major metropolitan centers (Charlotte and The Triangle) we actually should be voting largely Democrat. However Republicans bunched all those voters into a few districts and then gave rural bumfuck nowhere disproportionate representation on a state level. Then they used that to gerrymander themselves into a supermajority, then used that to start rat fucking the good reps out of districts (pour one out for Jeff Jackson). We literally had maps so fucked up our current supreme court said "that's too far" and all they did was submit shittier and shittier maps until we got stuck with the first unconstitutional one because "we didn't have another option"
We're not quite a Mississippi where we've been shooting our own feet for decades, Republicans have wrested undue control over the state by being cheaters and it's important for all of you to see that because they'll do it to you too
Preach. NC has been rigged. And they'll do it in your state next.
some people are just obsessed with writing hateful things….
actually i’ve noticed a large uptick in it lately… i think the russian trolls have been reactivated
What are you talking about? They’ll own the libs tho so it’s really a wash /s
The bird choked on toxic gasses in the 1700s. We never have been a democracy.
From anti sufferage to Jim crowe to today, where we have no way to elect progressive candidates and no rank choice voting.
The US has always been a failed attempt at democracy
So then vote for someone who supports ranked choice voting. Just because we're losing very badly to the FPTP supporters doesn't mean to give up.
I'm not saying we shouldn't vote. I'm saying we don't live in a democracy.
The outcome of elections doesn't match what the majority of voters want. We should use many tactics (including voting) to change this.
Ya, bbbutttt genocide! Fools.
