Post Guidelines

  • Posts must be explicitly related to New Mexican politics. This includes the interaction of federal and state politics, as well as that state's congressional delegation. Local politics are permissible if they would reasonably be of interest to a statewide audience.

  • Title must fairly describe link contents. You don't have to use the site's title, but refrain from editorializing.

  • Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed.

Comment Guidelines

  • Be Civil.

  • No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments.

  • Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This subreddit aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

  • No hate speech, slurs, or abusive language. This will result in a ban.

New Mexico Politics Monthly General Chat - October 01, 2024 | Welcome!

INTRODUCTION

r/NewMexicoPolitics is a political discussion sub for the news and discussion about politics, with more politics than /r/NewMexico, and more New Mexico than /r/Politics. The Community Standards are still as always in effect.

PURPOSE OF GENERAL CHAT

Normally this subreddit is setup to address the political and social issues that divide our state and dominate our social media feeds. The purpose of this very different thread is to trial a space for community members to talk about more than just our state politics.

We hope that we can help encourage community participants to find a way past the ideological differences that frequently appear in the comments and share more about the New Mexico they experience every week. For many participants, the issues that occur every week are personal, and a general chat is a space for folks to acknowledge how their lived experiences shape their points of view.

In this thread you can talk about any variety of politics, Ukraine, subreddit polls, surveys and predictions, your vacation, your pets, your latest hiking adventure, or tell us about your day, or almost anything under the overcast skies. Just have fun, be kind, remember the human and model the kind of civil, productive discussion we are hoping to have here on a regular basis.

Auto Moderator & Account / Karma Filtering

The team still strongly feels that hand crafted moderation is the ideal to shoot for, as we want a hands on approach to creating an inclusive environment where people can discuss New Mexico's political ideas. That said, we will continue focusing on using auto moderator to filter our slurs, bigoted slang, and pejorative-name calling. In addition, we'll be using it to filter out content from new accounts within 45 days and accounts with less than 100 karma.

POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Just a reminder that we should all advocate for truthfulness, accuracy, honesty, and reason as essential to the integrity of communication. Participants in this subreddit should be willing to endorse freedom of expression, diversity of perspective, and tolerance of dissent to achieve the informed and responsible decision making fundamental to a civil society.

Thank you again everyone.

Pukey Commercial

This Domenici commercial with the old man saying he's been a Democrat his whole life makes me want to vomit and is exactly what's wrong with this state. These life long Democrats are a disease and nothing will get done in NM until people see the light. Damn I miss Gary Johnson.

Advocates push for psilocybin therapy in New Mexico with the passage of Senate Measure 12

“While Senate Memorial 12 does not allocate any funding for the work, it aligns with the objectives of the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) in addressing addiction within the state. Consequently, NMDOH will strive to identify and report on research and program models implemented in other states to inform and support future plans.”- says a spokesman from the New Mexico Department of Health
