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!

I know you're getting downvoted, but I agree. Fascists are killing his constituents in the streets and the whole calling their dictator "weird" or other witty names isn't doing a damn thing.
Did you miss the fact that he deployed the MN National Guard to protect the protestors? The Guard handed out coffee and doughnuts to protesters and stood behind them at protests. They literally had their backs at the protest.
Yes, I did miss that.
This action was not done to protect Minnesotans.
You are wrong. Reports from protesters at the protests can be found to fill in your information gaps.
I couldn't find these reports or any videos of anything like that. Also, no one has been charged with murder for any civilians. Why?

Basically their mission is Public Safety, which means to protect Minnesotans.
Ok, I see now what you mean. They helped citizens, which is something.
Too many people still just look at the letter by a politician's name
Like, it really is commendable that he's saying this early so others to plan to run. Streets ahead of Biden at least
It's just not enough, Minnesota needs help now, and Walz has shown and now admitted he wont do what's actually necessary.
So why the fuck is he running out the clock? If he wants to help, call a special election for his own seat and let the people of Minnesota get someone who will represent them.
What action are you expecting from him that he isn't doing?
He's no longer running because what's happening is political retaliation for him running against Trump. Not because he's doing a poor job
Have the state police arrest ICE agents for the crimes they're committing, and for obstruction of justice.
Fucking Bovino was out running around, I know he's hard to spot due to his size, but we could have snatched up that lil fascist leprechaun. Even if he beat the charges, "you can't beat the ride" and this is one scenario the suspect actually deserves to get beat.
Fuck it, beat his ass and charge him for resisting.
We don't have to like the system we have, but we're fucking fighting fascists and they're killing people on the streets.
Use the tools we have, and the Governor controls the state police. Same for Frey and the City Police
I can't believe you are being downvoted for having the opinion that you should stop fascists.
Also, if you aren't running again then burn the fuckers against you to the ground. Who cares, right? You aren't running again, do what's right.
