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!

Unopposed. There are no thirds. I will take one less Republican in office over virtue signaling any day anyhow.
Write in is a thing
I would get more accomplished if I went to our fascist Governor's residence and took a shit on his doorstep.
That's literally privileged blue state leftist talk. Is writing in Joseph Dejacque going to return the rights my SO, my mother, my sister, and my nieces all lost? Is writing someone in going to flip the state legislature to actually get it to implement the ballot initiatives citizens here pass? Is it anything but the definition of empty virtue signaling? It's like starving, seeing a half eaten hamburger in the trash. Going, I could eat it to relieve my hunger. But no, I will let the fresh imaginary hotdog sustain me.
Don't get me wrong, under the right circumstances write-ins can get someone like Mukowski elected. But that's the exception not the rule, and requires someone write-in worthy running to boot. As an anarchist I'd like to see nearly all of them run from office however. Till then I'll fight the fascists with any effective means at hand. Though it must be nice to be able to be choosy. Unfortunately it rarely coincides with self awareness.
You already said unopposed. This sounds like plant talk.
Whatever you need to tell yourself comrade. You are the one that screeched CIA Democrat and then started spouting off useless Solutions.
You may want to get that psychosis checked 🌱
