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!

I agree with the other posters. Nothing about this article is critical of Biden (or Trump for that matter).
Unless of course you think that acknowledging that some people don’t like either candidate is an anti Biden opinion… seems like a logical leap; this article is very dry.
People are allowed to be biased, anyway, this is just an internet community. Nobody here is claiming to be an objective journalist or something.
Look at OP’s post history.
OP is a mod on NEWS. Or he had mod powers. He deleted my comment that was essentially critical of Hamas. How did this agent get Mod status on such a popular server??
That or he reported you to a mod that agrees with him. Either way, there’s tons of biased mods on lemmy. Even in this community there’s a huge bias amongst mods.
Which is disappointing. I thought this place would be different that Reddit, but no. It’s just the same thing only with less nuance to the hive.
It appears to be a race to see which piece of shit can create the more popular server.
If liberals used the same energy holding Biden accountable that they have used for punching left at people trying to hold him accountable, things would be a lot better than they currently are. Instead, liberals have spent decades shielding their shitty politicians from criticism, which is how we got people like Biden and Trump
It so much easier to get pissed off at things that you can make up than it is to do the work required to see things as they actually are, isn’t it?
The cognitive dissonance you’re using here is the exact same as what my generation used when we were your age and pissed off about everyone and everything.
And for the record, no one is shielding anyone from anything. Politicians absolutely should be held accountable for their misdeeds. However, when some kid is posting nothing but slanderous articles that attack only one side, don’t get bent out of shape when their obvious agenda is called out for what it is.
The only work that will succeed is getting rid of the DNC or the RNC. Politics only has room for 1 right wing party.
And what do you suspect is my age?
Congratulations, you fell for the propaganda.
It’s a poll. Mentioning that these people exist is hardly propaganda. They exist. It’s hard to strategize how to reach voters who don’t agree with you if you bury your head in the sand.
You mean polls where one outlet says one thing while another outlet says another on the exact same issue within hours of "reporting." Yeah, good luck with that.
It’s a poll ran by a university. Nate Silver found this institution reliable
Sometimes polls say different things. That’s why you do more than one. Sampling different populations in different ways gives different results. There isn’t anything nefarious happening here.
Again, good luck with that champ.
