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

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!

Democrats dont have a better choice because they never hold their politicians accountable. If they did someone like Biden would have never been their nominee.
The rest of us choose not to participate in electoral politics because our voices do not matter to them, they only answer to the donor class.
Non voters are the largest most powerless block of the population. Vote third party! Push these bums out!
Not when Trump is the alternative.
They will always have a Boogeyman for you to be afraid of
Biden is the boogeyman 'they' have you afraid of. Or maybe you are the 'they' trying ro reframe Biden as the boogeyman.
Trump isn't a boogeyman, he's an objectively selfish criminal grifter lunatic and theres decades of evidence and receipts to back it up.
They are both evil
Yeah great point. Every losing candidate to date has attempted a coup
You own party and the DOJ doesn't consider it a coup. Maybe it's because you are being played.
bOtH sIdEs
There.are no both sides to them. They are on the same side being paid by the same people for the same outcome
Lol you're just saying people aren't going far enough if they aren't voting, they should actively be encouraging everyone else not to also, regardless of what ridiculous lies have to be told.
There are no lies, they are not what I want in government and I will not support them
Apparently a Trumpist govt is what you will support.
That's what we have now.
Says the liar looking to fuck the US without lube
I can't help it if liberals don't know fascists if they elected it.
Yeah, we both know you're lying your ass off when you say something as ridiculous as Trump and Biden are the same. A moron who pays 1% attention would know that's absolute bullshit. It's obvious you're canvassing and these lies are not random.
If everything Biden has done, but he had an R next to his name democrats would hate everything he's done
lol what a liar
Provide the name of a current candidate that has a chance to best Trump in November. Provide evidence that they have a chance.
Just one name.
Anyone can beat trump if they get enough votes... So Cornell West is a name that satisfies your criteria.
Wrong. I said a candidate that current stand a chance. Provide a name.
The way polls are going, Biden probably doesn't stand a chance. So this point is moot.
The real answer to your question in all of the polling is "generic Democrat."
So, just to be clear, no 3rd party candidate has any chance of beating Trump, correct?
Asked and answered. Sorry you don't like the answer I guess?
Again, hes not Viable.
Try again.
I'm sorry the capitalists and fascists have prevented you from seeing potential futures outside of their control. Anyone is viable if they get enough votes.
And he’s not getting those votes. So while knowing it’s not happening, you’re submitting a losing candidate. Purposefully.
And let’s not forget that you already admitted that you’re NOT VOTING. So your bad faith suggestion of West is also publicly noted.
Calling you guys out is too easy.
Give us a fucking name, dude
Stein is in enough state ballots to get 270.
ROFL… so you honestly think Stein can win? Let’s take a look…
So there’s:
LOL
and….
Well, it seems no other news source even lays her as even relevant. So… no. I’m going to go with,
Name a VIABLE candidate that is currently running that can win.
I thought the word around here was polls can't be trusted, it's too early, and other bullshit.
So then how exactly are you able to consider Stein as viable?
There is. O one in the race that has a closer shot at defeating Trump and you know it. Any attempt to say otherwise is a at best a clear refusal to accept reality and at worst, blatant propaganda and misinformation.
So which is it?
Answer the question.
With a 38% approval rating Biden isnt viablr
I said… VIABLE
Answer the question.
No one but you wants to vote for that Russian stooge.
You just want to trade a genocide in Palestine for a genocide in Ukraine AND a genocide in Palestine.
What are her poll numbers? Ignoring the fact that she's a fucking Russian asset, she couldn't beat Trump. Try again.
