Ah yes, Tennessee. The only place that should be deciding the merit of democratic elections in NYC.

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!

This is generally their solution to everything these days lol
I wonder what it's gonna be like when they get rid of everyone brown and it's only pasty old white guys running for office. How quickly will they turn on each other?
Just another crack summing up to the million ones that are already there.
Racist.
That's just a shorter way to spell Republican.
There's a four-letter word beginning with 'c' that's better
Why the fuck does Tennessee think they have a damned thing to say about new York? Is their leaching federal tax dollars not enough? Get back to begging for New York scraps you damn country music Hicks
Tn actually pays more to the fed.
https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-contribute-the-most-and-least-to-federal-revenue/
But fuck ogles anyways.
Just to clarify, TN is barely a net contributor to the federal budget. They are a net contributor by $4 billion, NY state is a net contributor of $89 billion.
Hey now at least it shows that against all odds TN is at least a vaguely functional state. It's not a Mississippi where it's dead in the water or Idaho where it has some potential but would require billions in infrastructure improvements alone.
Uh... STATE'S RIGHTS! Uhm.. or something, IDK why MAGAts are
"He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart," - Trump
Dude! You appointed RFK and this is your complaint about Mamdani‽
RFK surely had to donate millions to get where he is.
These guys are so ready to jump on this that I think they are forgetting to actually think about what they are saying. I don't think they are ready for what could happen if they try to deport this man. They would just create a martyr.
They would just create a martyr.
Which would lead to some civil unrest and they would just start shooting at people using live ammo.
I am afraid they are perfectly ready for that.
Excited even.
The only way you’re ever getting a chance at democracy back is with mass, violent civil unrest.
I’m afraid you’re not even bothering to prepare for that.
There are a growing number of people that are truly believing that some sort of armed resistance is what is needed. But, who wants to be the first to take up arms (or otherwise show a violent resistance)?
The US government and military have shown that they have no qualms about violently suppressing peaceful protests. Imagine what they would do to those that showed even an inkling of violence. Those who stand up first would be nothing but cannon fodder.
Who wants to be the first? To be martyred? There aren’t enough people who have nothing else left to lose. Not yet.
I’m afraid you’re not even bothering to prepare for that.
Me? No, I am not. But considering there is an ocean between me and United states, I suspect I wouldn't be big help, prepared or not.
When the tree of Liberty is thirsty, all hands are welcome that are willing to help in the watering.
For the ones that are bloodthirsty, absolutely. But with how pissed off people are right now I don't expect us to just go quietly into the night as they start shooting people. And I don't think they are ready for those consequences.
Why would they care? It's not the first red line they'd have crossed. Hell, it's not even the tenth one this year. This is their new normal, and they aren't going to stop until we all collectively stand up and make them stop.
I wonder with today’s SC ruling if they actually are going to try and deport him. From what I understand that would now be an actual option, fucked up as it is.
Deporting a US Citizen for saying things the Congressman doesn't like. Remind me when was American this "great"?
"Great" is actually an acronym for Get Racist Every Available Time.
Another state to stay away from, and another politician to kick out of office.
Oh, Tennessee, that is one of the government handout states right?
Man, the establishment and the zionist are so mad about this, this wasn't even a general but a primary
Well I'm calling for Andy Ogles to be hanged for treason.
Consider improving your infant mortality, murder, and teenage pregnancy rates before taking to twitter, dude.
I call for Andy Ogles to get deported to mars on a leaky space craft. So there. I call him "Little Trump". SO DOUBLE THERE You inbred inebriate.
Why not send them with a titan to the bottom of the ocean. Like the some he is
What and add more junk to the ocean?
Add more nutrients and ability for coral reefs?
new strategy, lets deport the opposition...(facepalm) that would seriously mark the end of democracy for the US
People should start publicly calling for shitgobblers like him to be deported. And then deport him.
Politicians willing to say/do anything to stay in the news and get his voter remember his name.
