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!

Can we just give Florida and Texas to Mexico? Split CA into like 3-5 states. Uncap the house. Voila, country is fixed... somewhat fixed.
As a Californian dont pull that stupid shit, the only reason we are so functional is cause the rural areas are more or less overridden by the urban areas breaking us up would break that.
I mean, with a skilled cartographer, we can surely find a way to gerrymander some senate seats 😉. Just pack all the rural voters into one state then get like 5 other states with only urban voters. +2 Rep +10 Dem Senate seats. 😈
Lets not fuck around and find out thanks, plus then ya lose Californian nationalism which is part of the reason we are vaguely functional.
I know I'm being pedantic here, but wouldn't that be California Statism, or Californian State Pride?
Edit: Californian State Pride is totally what the LGBTQ+ community should refer to the parades in San Francisco as.
I call it nationalism in reference to the springtime of nations, basically there are two nationalismism. Also a nation isnt a state if it was the Sorbians would be their own thing sepereate from Germany.
As a southern-ish Texan, I love this idea. Granted, the border-city cartels will probably murder the shit out of me, but I could briefly celebrate Mexican heritage without feeling like a poseur.
I don't think Mexico wants either of those two
They should take them over and then deport all the gringos.
Since when has the US ever cared
Hey we are giving back the "profits" for their um... "investment" 😅
Yoink, no give-backs.
🦅
(Just do the "Puerto Rico" treatment and mark it as a "territory" so they cant vote in Mexican elections)
I sincerely doubt that Mexico wants them. Cut them loose and let them sink on their own.
Oh, and send DNC themed evacuation busses so that innocents can escape.
Blue states and red states split as per last election map with exceptions that:
Virgina, Illinois, Minnesota can go red... Arizona will go blue.
We take most of the burden for the Mexican border, they should be happy about that, right?
