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!

Their smear campaign honestly made me like him more and I'm unironically considering moving to Minnesota as a direct result. The only problem is that I'm from the South and snow is scary.
Edit: Y'all are terrible at selling people on coexisting with snow
The snow and the cold are no joke. Buy yourself some good winter clothing straight off the bat. Don't go for those cheap off brands. Oh no. You want to be warm, you want the good stuff. And remember to layer.
Depends on what you do. Plenty of people only have to walk from car door to heated building so crappy winter clothes isn't a huge deal. There are those people that wear shorts year round based on that principle.
Yes, but in the car there is still a bag of appropriate winter clothes for emergencies.
"Dress for the ditch"
this guy parties.
Years ago my battery died while I was at work. It was late shift so there was nobody else around. It had been snowing its ass off the tow companies were all backed up It was a 3-hour wait.
At sub-zero, Even in my car in my winter coat, that was brutal.
Now I carry a tightly wound sleeping bag in the trunk and a jump pack.
