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!

Welp...it's over folks. To those continually downvoting me because you can't face facts, it's time. As a staunch Democrat, I cannot bring myself to support that man any longer. Either find a new candidate or this will be the first presidential election I don't vote in.
Bitch, moan, downvote all you want. I don't care anymore.
I believe you misread that or you're a fucking liar. Either way, that's not what I said.
He is a fucking liar, and intentionally wants to twist up the obvious context to fit his chosen narrative. In other words, a propagandist and a try-hard.
He went super fascist on me...about fascism. Fucking funny really.
Some of us live in states where our votes conveniently don't matter. I don't give a single fuck about performative voting. I care about winning, and Joe Biden is not going to win.
Yeah, that sounds good, but ultimately it is fucking meaningless. I'm all for the popular vote compact, but that isn't reality right now.
It isn't preordained. I am working off the available evidence, and every single piece of available evidence is that he is going to fucking lose. Joe Biden staying in this race is dooming this country, and when he loses I hope he is punished for his hubris.
I absolutely understand. You are in your feelings. I am living in reality. The electoral college is all that matters. That is what determines our elections, and is what will determine if we are able to sustain our strained democracy. When Biden loses the election and wins the popular vote you can carry all the water you want, but Trump will still be president.
So January 6th bad, President Putin and VP Trump is perfectly normal?
You're concerned about legitimacy of government, functioning and its continuation while ignoring that there is a brain dead corpse that just gave a speech. That same brain dead corpse is running the world's largest military, and can't even form a cohesive sentence.
BlueMAGA has a new meaning tonight
Jesus fucking christ man. You are out to lunch. I've followed every single part of the political process in this country since I was like 11 years old. You are pissing me the fuck off now.
I watched January 6th live, I watched 9/11 live, I watched the invasion of Iraq live, I have diligently paid attention to every historical moment in my lifetime. The vast majority of the people under 50 in this country already think the government is illegitimate. It does not, and has not ever worked for them. The popular vote changes nothing. If you think it does then you are deluded.
Added bonus, you get a fascist corpse
Yes, yes I fucking do. And I don't feel bad about it anymore. You should.
You should be ashamed to vote for that. To force that abhorrent excuse of a barely conscious individual onto the world stage to represent this incredible country.
His campaign is over. His money is going to dry up and we're going to be stuck with a fascist because you can't nut up and make a difficult decision. Fuck!
You don't seem to be comprehending that the campaign is over. People are not going to vote for him. You can't make them.
And distilling the complexities of American leadership and our standing in the world into fascism vs. dementia is just naïve and simpleminded.
There is time, but we need to move quickly and decisively. There is no time for nostalgia.
What the fuck are you people not hearing? There is time to find a replacement! But we need to move.
Bruh...you ok?
If you want to tell me more about how you're not okay, just know I'm here to listen.
I said giving us the choice between fascism or a dementia patient was simpleminded, because it is. We're better than that. Now stop being a fucking asshole.
You're never going to break through the Blue MAGA brain rot. They are too far in denial. The grip of the sunk cost fallacy is too strong.
You may not like it, but you are embodying it. Deal with it.
I don't see much "advocating" from you. I see a lot of hand-wringing.
Sadly, you're probably right. I'm just hoping there are enough people in positions of power to get the wheels moving on a replacement.
These people will just have to come along for the ride.
Again....Hard Agree.
Good point. You caught me slipping. That's my bad.
If only Democrats had listened to leftists 4 years ago, we saw all the signs then and we were told to shut the fuck up
Biden was supposed to be a transitional president, but he has done nothing to promote anyone but himself. It was selfish and it will be his legacy - it's sad.
Hard agree.
lol lol no
