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!

Ok. Why don't we just stop sending you more tax money than we receive? We'll just pay for shit ourselves and not pay federal taxes anymore.
We're cool with that.
Your federal tax brackets are reaming us while our cost of living is way higher than the national median anyway.
Right on!
Tired of propping up the red welfare states!
Here’s the issue: think about how happy you will be when TX leaves the union. The GOP feels the same about CA.
They'll do an about face real quick when they realize that more GOP voters live in CA than anywhere else. Gotta be able to get that campaign $$$
Yeah, except California could be a nationstate on its own without needing outside help and the same is not true of Texas. It's closer to being true for Texas than it is for most red states, that is true, but Texas can't even keep its power on. And that whole oil industry thing? Looking pretty temporary.
If there were another civil war coming up, sure, most of it would not be based on geography, but California, Oregon, and Washington would definitely stick together.
And hopefully lose some of our righter-leaning populations to emigration.
West coast is the best coast...absolutely we would stick together, not even a question. All the right leaning folk talk about how great Idaho is. I imagine they'd all be refugees there.
