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!

They’re scared.
Scared and Senile, good luck Republicans lol
Old people are notorious for making their way to the polls. Attacking Trumps age must be done carefully as the wrong statement will make grandpa and grandma run to vote for trump.
By that logic it should have made them run to vote for Biden too and yet here we are.
Grandma and Grandpa aren't on Lemmy.
Most people that are old enough to be offended and would vote for the rapist with 34 felonies are already voting for the shit stain.
Don't be so sure, sonny. I'm nearly 60 with two grand-kids.
I promise you you're the exception for people your age. No one I know over 50 has heard of Lemmy.
And also, if old people are so sensitive to attacks on old age why wasn't Biden leading in the polls?? That's been the main attack on him for years, and people have said much worse about him than what is said about trump in this thread. If people suddenly clutch their pearls when it's Trump being mocked for being senile, they were a Trump supporter to begin with.
No one I know has heard of Lenny regardless of their age.
hi, 55 here... :D your point is valid and we are outliers lol
I'm over 50: 57. And my account's older than your's, too.
You're making assumptions you have no basis for.
Maybe they also should try running a younger candidate.
they scared hohoho
