Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

But sadly, this doesn’t stop Biden from being old, which is somehow- WAY worse. Even when you compile everything together that makes Trump a human shaped sack of shit- we’re ignorantly still supposed to choose him over…. oLd!

Says who? Personally I'm concerned Biden will lose to Trump which is why I'm hoping he'll step back - but I'm absolutely going to vote for Biden if the choice is Biden or Trump.

I'd vote for that clump of laundry at the bottom of your hamper that you've been meaning to hand wash for the past year, but never make time for, rather than vote for Trump.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Yup, I just fucking want a winner - and someone who "gives it their all but fails" would be the absolute worst if they got in the way of an actual winner.

Says a shit ton of MAGA trolls here and on other social media platforms.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Biden has got this. Biden has momentum. The MSM is full of shit.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I'm pretty sure everyone on this platform will vote for Biden. There are swing voters out there that won't.

How we vote, ultimately, doesn't matter. It's those handful of fools in the 15 or 16 important counties of swing states that matter. Right now the polls say they're sitting this one out or voting Trump.

Dismissing the old commentary is how democracy dies.

Is your point against him that he’s a president for all citizens of America and not just for the democrats?

Do you know what a president is?

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you know what a president is?

Well, maybe, just maybe, he should be the guy with policies for both parties. You do know that don't you?

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

That is what I said when you made it out to be that he had appeal from both sides. Pay attention.

[–] shani66@ani.social 46 points 8 months ago (2 children)

From what I've read 2025 calls for literally every possible wrong thing a government can do.

[–] 2484345508@lemy.lol 14 points 8 months ago

It is manipulation of government officials to make the US totally unlivable, and to accelerate it’s fall as a world of power

He can't come back until we completely acidify the ocean. Hey, I don't write the rules, I just interpret them from translations of translations of translations of the original text

Project 2025 will be a disaster for USA.

So, turn the heat up in Texas.
