This community needs a place to discuss politics like adults. Robert Putnam wrote essays and books on the collapse of social capital here in the US. Nowhere would that collapse be more evident that looking at /pol here on FOH. This came out of the action we took back in Feb/March where the Coronachan thread got split off into the shitposting thread and the grownup version where actual facts and figures could be discussed. Or as actual as the facts and figures were on any given day of the week.
One word of caution. This is the Grownup section of the board. Rules and decorum apply. Act accordingly.
Lets start here. This is usually a formality every 4 years. There is discussion that this might actually be a thing this year with Pence. I don't believe Pence will do anything other than read the votes as written, but there is a reason the Founders wrote Amendment # 12 so who knows.
For anyone interested in Putnam and what the heck social capital is and why its important to our society, start here...
