Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Blue States Need To Defeat Trump with his playbook. There are blue states like NY that have laws in place to prohibit gerrymandering. They need to redraw their maps anyways before the 2026 midterms. Have the conservatives take them to court, and fight it, dragging they feet, until whoops, it's after the election. Trump does things knowing they are unconstitutional but he won't stop until he loses in court and has no further appeals, and even then might not stop. We should do the same. To save our country, to once again be a nation where the law applied to everyone, we need to temporarily throw out the rules and ignore the laws, just like Trump does, then when we have control, pass laws and put measures in place to prevent that from happening again in the future. So that no state can be allowed to gerrymander their Congressional maps. No President can blatantly defy our nations laws and get away with it for months while it is fought out in court. There needs to be a method to remove a president and members of Congress via a recall by their constituents.

Centrist neolibs have been adhering to that for the past 50 years; it's how we've gotten to where we are now. But sure, let's keep doing that, it'll definitely stop them this time!
