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!

Dude this shit happens in San Francisco where are you
Not in fucking California that's what. Thank god for that. I'm around Chicago. Not going to get more specific for obvious reasons, but I'm not Chicago proper
Yeah, I don't get more specific than the Bay Area either. I was aiming for A Cave or Somewhere Small Enough We Know Everyone And Beat The Everloving Shit Out Of Anyone Who Tries To Harm One Hair On Our Beloved Queers' Head, it doesn't seem like there's much middle ground anymore. The problem with moving somewhere large enough to hide in is, well, anyone can hide there.
I live in a city. Not a small town. A small city... Though frankly uptown/gaytown/andersonville in chicago is the best of most worlds.
large town/small city sizes get fucky out here in california. your small city is probably the same size as my large town. it's really down to the character of the place and that's a very blurry line.
i like places where it's still small enough you get a lot of rural and urban overlap. more people more walks of life meet. The only way i know to force through prejudice is with proximity.
Uptoot for Pittsburgh. Best of both worlds. Really small city with a big city vibe. Lots of restaurants and different neighborhoods with a lot of differential vibes. Also very bike-able, I can bike from Southside to Lawrenceville in 30 mins.
Uh, which one? I've been to CA and PA and they are both great for different (and a few of the same) reasons.
Folk define big and small city as it suits them. Like the folk I would visit out at the farm in Oregon, that town is like 1500 people. They all look like me, we're all related. When I went to church with great gran, they asked where I was from. A town of about [low hundred thousands]. They goggled and exclaimed i was from a big city.
The largest building in town was the hospital back then, which was the only three floor building in my town. Yeah, we have a lot of people but we're packed in tight. Our "downtown", which is currently one block long on one street, did not exist back then. It's less to do with size and more to do with general ambiance.
