The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Careful with that saw. There are allies there still.
As long as the electoral college exists, it really doesn’t matter, sadly.
Fair enough. We should make it matter.
Too late. Dictatorships don't do reforms.
What if we ask even more nicely this time?
That's Hillsborough County not Tampa the city, that goes Republican. We are pretty progressive inside the city but the sprawling county has enough people to drown us out.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm not calling out people based on their county. I just pulled an electoral map because it's a quick way to point out that Florida is potentially a purple state. It's got a lot of people supporting civil rights and other progressive goals. I don't want to see it sawed off and abandoned to its gerrymandered leadership. That's what I was trying to communicate.
