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!

Unfortunately NC is mostly blue/purple but gerrymandered to hell and has establishment repubs who won't relinquish control of anything to let anything new happen. The GOP legislature over the last several years passed bills and regulations stripping the governor of power because they knew they were going to lose that seat. Many more congressional seats will be flipping blue next year.
The people allow it they are weak.
I'll be sure to let everyone know at the next game night.
Please do. When was the last time you actually held your General Assembly accountable? Start actively protesting them. Lol
Mind you if you don't then the contents of this article will spread to the next time there is a hurricane.
It ain't rocket science. They dgaf. They even openly act like it. The medical MMJ was voted for in NC. The General Assembly just refused to put it in law. Right there you told them there are absolutely no consequences to your actions. And they are taking that to the bank.
See the stripping of the governor of his powers. The whiny bitch of a judge that tried to throw out voters ballots.
They keep slapping you in the face and you say thank you please may I have another. The scary part is this is the "research triangle" you are supposed to be intelligent.
