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!

We haven't, but we don't have a chance to.
Both candidates are pro-fracking, even tho in coal friendly battleground state Pennsylvania 58% support banning it.
trump broke fossil fuel production records when he was in office, and then Biden broke those records. And regardless of who the next president is, were likely going to break them again.
If you give a shit about climate change and humans changing the weather, tough shit.
There's no viable option that will do anything to fix this issue.
So ironically there's some truth to this: it's happening because humans caused it, and the people who caused it (fossil fuel companies and politicians from both parties) aren't going to do anything to stop it from happening again.
So it will happen again, and again, and again. Until we get enough politicians that won't take fossil fuel donations in office. And then we can pass climate legislation, and maybe a couple decades after that things will stop getting worse. If we're lucky in 4-5 generations it might even start improving instead of getting worse slower.
I hope so, shits pretty bad already if you haven't noticed.
You might not care about climate change, but climate change cares about you, and it's gonna knock down your house. :3
Yeah, it's not even like it's just the South anymore, the last hurricane almost made it to Michigan and knocked power out for days in some parts of the Midwest.
Fucking insane that both parties refuse to even admit there's a problem. Even crazier they're both pushing for loosening of regulations that will directly make it worse.
