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!

Regardless you really have been on a Biden busting bender. Are you actually voting for Trump?
Nobody is allowed to be critical of our politicians? What is this gatekeeping?
Nice complete dodge of the question.
I've said on this post and others I'm not voting for Trump. I'm far left, gay, and live in the Los Angeles area. F Trump.
Then what's with all the Biden bashing? You think it's going to help Trump lose? Biden sucks, but he's better than Trump and there isn't anyone else the dnc will let run.
You can vote for Biden and still be critical of him.
Very true, but when we're getting to what's projected to be a close election and you do nothing but post negative items about the guy you say you want to win, it seems suspicious. No positive Biden posts, no negative Trump posts, just negative Biden posts.
If you were trying to sell your house, would you do nothing but tell people walking through about the problems with it?
Look through the politics sub (or whatever Lemmy calls them) and you'll see a wall of Trump stuff. Why would I post more when others already have it handled?
Maybe if everyone only wants to see anti-Trump/pro-Biden only posts there could be a BluePolitics sub.
Just seems like you're working awfully hard to skewer the candidate you say you'd prefer.
I hate Biden and Trump. But here... I made this post just for you.. https://lemmy.world/post/11613568
No you can be critical, hell look through my history... But this type of "points" news is a known tactic to demoralize. However, if you are trumpeting for Trump, at least be up front about it so we can sort you properly.
