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 guess we'll see in a week. But I have trouble believing that a state that has voted deep red for over 3 decades except for the cases where the GOP has put up a literal pedophile and a football player with advanced dementia is suddenly going to vote for a black female democrat. I just don't see it. And keep in mind. The pedo and dementia patient almost won. I'd be very surprised if the split is anything less than a 55/45 split in Trump's favor.
Similar for NC. A GOP supermajority in the state legislature, a MAGA suck-up in Graham for a senator in a seat that's very safe for him. Yeah, they've got a Democrat governor, but Massachusetts has voted almost exclusively Republican governors for over 30 years now (With the exception of the current governor and one former governor). And they are as deep blue as you could possibly get, so the choice of governor really doesn't make much of a difference. Their overall voting is very deep red, and I expect that to be reflected in the election.
And for the record, I'd love nothing more to be completely wrong on both of them. But I am also acknowledging the reality of the situation and am not going to hold my breath in anticipation.
The ATL area is carrying the state of Georgia now. That's what has changed over the past three decades. The GOP has a hard time in any state where there's a large dominant urban area. That's not really a new thing.
