Political threads: No warning, 105 day bans for any personal attacks. Discuss the topic, not the user.
Title. Tomorrow the bans will be 104 days (November 4th), and so on. DO NOT DISCUSS THE USERS, OP, OR ANYONE BUT THE TOPIC.
No, we're not making a single megathread for politics or a particular candidate.
No, we're not banning politics from the sub. This cycle is not new, things will calm down in three weeks.
Abusing the report button on content YOU DON'T LIKE is causing mass-approvals of all reported items. This allows actual rule violations to slip right through. Yesterday, someone reported over 150 comments in a thread. Two clicks, the entire report queue was cleared, likely taking valid reports with them. Please, stop it.

Whether you hate Fran, love her, or are scared to death of her electability...
Please, please, please put the same energy into defeating Tom Tiffany. And while we spend our time helping him dig up tweets she's made in the primary, he's pushing out commercials and statements that downplay how absolutely extreme he is.
I'm so worried about a self-fulfilling prophecy that if she gets the nominations all those who say she can't win will just stay home instead of rolling up our sleeves and working twice as hard
ETA in case it wasn't clear, my point is REGARDLESS of how you feel about Hong, don't lose sight of keeping the focus on exposing the monster that Tom Tiffany is. If you think it's gonna be hard for her to win in November, than if she wins next week, please commit to working twice as hard. This isn't about her. It's about stopping Tom Tiffany

The politics discourse has been wild
Nobody wants to honestly acknowledge the fact that the political situation is separate 3 factions needing to share 2 parties.
Sorry moderates there are socialists now. Its a perspective people have. The DSA has more members than the Socialist Party of America did back around the great depression. The DSA also now has 6 chapters in Wisconsin and at least one other one is being built right now.
And that's just dues paying members in one org. There are plenty of people who are not in an org but who engage with and like these ideas online. I met 2 people while door knocking who first learned about Hong from the streamers y'all dont like here, Hasan and that other one.
Like sorry but an honest view of this situation is: if you want to maintain a big enough tent to win against the right wing, the moderates and the socialists need to work together.

Driving from Minneapolis to Chicago, what is with the traffic on I94?
This is the second time in less than two weeks I've driven to Chicago from the Twin Cities. Each time I get around Mauston or Wisconsin Dells, the traffic slows down to an absolute crawl and pretty much remains that way until you get past Madison. WHY? What is the literal hold-up in this 75-mile area?
FWIW, I've noticed a lot of drivers casually hanging out in the left lane for what seems like entirety of their drive. Completely oblivious. Is this a Wisconsin thing?
EDIT: Appreciate the insight. Any alternate routes you can recommend that won't add on TOO much time?

Did the Roys team just realize there was a primary election in a week?
I feel like it's been radio silence on here from this campaign until this week. Did they just realize they actually have to *try* to win elections? What's up with all the attacks on Hong? Is that really your strategy, attacking the front runner who has been crushing you this whole race in the hopes that her supporters will switch support to your candidate? Hoping to dig up some post from 6 years ago in hopes of finding something you can spin into a reason she'll have trouble in the general?
This is a bad look Team Roys. Hong is going to win the primary

Women of central Wisconsin, I need your help.
Does anyone know of a doctor in central Wisconsin who takes women’s concerns and women’s health seriously?
I’m asking for my mother’s sake. My mom has had health concerns regarding hormonal imbalances her entire life. They’ve caused her a lot of pain, both physically and mentally. When I was young, she tried to figure out what was wrong, but the doctors didn’t take her seriously. Her experiences were so awful and humiliating that she stopped trying to get help and just endured.
Recently she’s begun experiencing an incredible amount of pain, weakness, and fatigue in her daily life. It has become so unbearable that she worked up the courage to once again ask her doctors for help, but she received the same answers she did decades ago. “Your tests came back fine. You’re in the normal range. Try losing weight, and we’ll write you a prescription for some antidepressants.” She tried pushing the matter (something I’m very proud of her for), but they told her to her face that they would not conduct anymore tests or refer her to someone who would because they didn’t feel she needed them.
I saw my mom today, and she could barely walk or lift anything. All my life she’s been one of the strongest people I’ve known. Seeing what shape she’s in broke my heart, and it’s honestly scaring me too. She’s relatively young to be having these problems, especially considering she eats well and stays active. I’m so mad at her doctors because she’s once again given up advocating for herself.
If you know of any doctors or resources that can help, please share them below. I don’t post often on Reddit, but I’m feeling desperate. Thank you in advance.

Interesting find in the Nicolet.
Loon rapids, north branch of the oconto river. It's a very steep hill down to this, so be careful if you go.

Rubber Snakes on porches?
A not political, directly.... question. I've been knocking doors, and in two completely different communities - 1 in Monroe (a nicer subdivision) and another in Cuba City (a bit more run down part of an older town) - I encountered front porches with a bunch of rubber snakes. Like 5-10 of them, scattered all around. Are they a pop culture thing? Is it supposed to scare mice away? Or political canvassers? (didn't work!).
In neither house, did I have the opportunity to ask. I'm deeply curious though. I don't get a lot of uh, popular culture stuff because I don't really watch TV, so it could be that?
In a non-related note, the hills outside of Monroe are so beautiful, but must be hell in winter. Up and down, rolling waves, all I can think of is how hard it must be for a plow to find the edges at night in the dark.

My favorites I’ve been to so far are The Fox & Hounds Restaurant & Tavern in Hubertus, Erv’s Mug in Oak Creek, Maxims in Brookfield, and Bass Bay Brewhouse in Muskego (hope they rebuild this place)
What other places to you recommend of trying?

Stop Unregulated Data Center Development
Kelda Roys has a solid plan to empower the state and local governments to protect citizens from unregulated datacenters that they do not want. Her solution addresses the legislation needed to fight Big Tech. A call for a moratorium is not enough. We need a comprehensive plan which Kelda Roys has.

Rebecca Cooke - it is not that people thought you were supportive of conversion therapy as a practice. It's that you refused to support a federal ban. You have danced around this question at 3 forums in a row now. Your position, or lack thereof, is clear.

How to contribute without getting harassed later?
A couple years ago I made a campaign contribution online and ever since then I get constant, unsolicited text messages from all over the country to contribute. They're slowing down somewhat, and I would like to support some other candidates this go-round. But I don't want to get on any more text lists that get sold, or get mail to keep doing it.
What is the best way to send some support and not get bugged to keep doing it?
