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!

Hey Biden, stop treating Trump like an opposing candidate and treat him like the insurrectionist that he is.
I understand the sentiment, but it’s not really Biden’s job to do that. The justice system has utterly failed us, but having the president decide who is and isn’t an insurrectionist probably isn’t a great idea.
It is his job to promote himself as a candidate and point out his opponents flaws, like being an insurrectionist who can't stay awake at his own criminal trials.
If the justice system has failed and the insurrectionist is on the verge of winning, the risk is not making some sort of change.
He is challenging Trump to a debate that he won't accept. He's doing exactly as he should while the justice system isn't doing its job.
"President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both accepted an invitation from CNN to debate on June 27..."
Pathetic Trump Already Trying to Weasel Out of Debating Biden
Darn. He is such a loser! I was hoping for him to show up and get humiliated (even if it would not be reported as such)
If you honestly think Trump will be there, you are delusional. He will back out and play victim. If he actually debates Biden I'll send you a video of me kicking myself in the balls.
This is how I would start every answer:
"I will address the problem according to the will of the people. I will abide by the votes cast and counted. I will protect people's voices and their rights. Democracy is my highest concern and we should do everything to protect it against people who would rather storm the capitol and kill their own elected officials."
Or something.
