Arizona Republicans like me can emulate Sen. John McCain's motto of 'Country First' and beat back Trump and his threat to democracy.

    Under Trump, American cities didn’t get the support they deserved. Infrastructure week was made into a joke.

    But under the Biden-Harris administration, Mesa has seen historic federal funding for the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, along with investments to make sure our streets and public transit systems benefit from modern technology.

    With the CHIPS Act, Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden are delivering thousands of new jobs to Arizonans and helping us grow critical industries.

      Yes, at least the criminal part.

      The biggest focus of the opinion piece was about money and jobs, with a vague offhanded comment about civil rights and the rights of women without saying what those things are.

        She doesn’t want to lose the nutjob vote, she just doesn’t want to let the nutjobs run the whole asylum.

      ✅ not part of the plan to bring Armageddon:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Mountain_Mandate

      "The movement was generally supportive of the presidency of Donald Trump, with member Paula White becoming Trump’s spiritual advisor. White claimed that Trump “will play a critical role in Armageddon as the United States stands alongside Israel in the battle against Islam.”

    Because you care about your state having the federal support it needs?

      I had an ex who voted conservative because her dad told her to. She didn’t see a problem with it and got offended when I questioned her. My guess is, that as much as I hate the idea, the truth might be that there are a fuck ton of people voting a certain way because of shit similar to this.

    Poor guy just gave up on reelection. Not enough democrats will see this to vote across party lines to make up for the amount of crazies in his party that will not only not vote for him, but quite possibly send him death threats. I live in rural Arizona, I would love a sane mayor.

      This is true. He fell on his sword as much as Biden did.

      Edit: well, unless he just recognizes the tide has changed and he is voted back in by the dems in appreciation.

    Why, as a Lemmy post title, is this text so large?

      They put a # behind the first letter of the post, giving it the “header 1” formatting.

      #Like this.

      It’s annoying, but I think it only happens in the Lemmy apps.

          I’m confused, doesn’t it look like this for everyone?

          The post title was also this big.

            The title for me looks normal

            The comment I replied to had the hash sign without a space so I see it as

            #like this

            And I posted with a space

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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.
