Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

More like a hit-list for the millions of angry voters who would be after their heads if he succeeded.
I don't have pretensions of much reasonableness, but...
If it's something that's getting pushed because those pushing (or just voting) for it don't understand what it would actually mean, that's potentially good, because if you can get enough people writing in angry about it (and why) that might mean the legislators get the idea that it would be Very Unpopular. If you get that into the heads of people concerned for their chances of remaining in office...
(I'm a gullible gussie for thinking this, aren't I?)
Yeah... I think the kind of people who put Tillis and others like him in office aren’t the kind to understand that this is something to vote them out for.
