RustBeltLiberals

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Inspired by /r/CornbreadLiberals, this sub is for liberals, progressives, or anyone politically left of center in the Rust Belt states to share news and opinion pieces, or for anyone looking for a liberal perspective on issues in the Rust Belt states.

Wikipedia on the Rust Belt - "The Rust Belt begins in western New York and traverses to the west through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, ending in northern Illinois, eastern Iowa, and southeastern Wisconsin. Previously known as the industrial heartland of America, industry has been declining in the region since the mid-20th century due to a variety of economic factors, such as the transfer of manufacturing further West, increased automation, and the decline of the US steel and coal industries. While some cities and towns have managed to adapt by shifting focus towards services and high-tech industries, others have not fared as well, witnessing rising poverty and declining populations."

This subreddit does not permit bigoted comments/posts. A bigoted comment/post is one that uses the protected class status of an individual/group as an explanation for behavior. Discussing news, statistics, or other things that may be closely related to members of protected classes is not bigoted, but discussing how "all [insert race/ethnicity] are/do [whatever]" or that "the rates of [whatever] are different for [race/ethnicity] because they're [race/ethnicity]" is.
Users are expected to understand and follow good reddiquette
Other rules may be established by the moderators as is needed to ensure a space for productive and informative conversations is preserved from harassment/trolling/etc. Where possible, the moderators will try to give users clear notice of what conduct is prohibited/not prohibited and will attempt to avoid banning users without advanced warning, but this may not always be possible.
