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!

He also made a huge deal for months(years even?) about how he wasn't going to interfere...
It was obviously billshit and he'd have done this even if Kamala won. But if Bidens fans cared about facts or logic, they wouldn't be fans of Biden.
They just latched onto anyone they were told to who wasn't named trump
I haven't been seeing articles every day about Biden. That's a big win over Trump in my book.
Not really...
trump is obviously worse. But when Trump does dumb shit everyone around me is also complaining
When it's Biden doing dumb shit, if I mentioned it I'd get called a trump supporter for having higher standards.
When a republican is in office people pay attention and care. Which helps the next election.
But when Dem voters spend four years trying to bring up ways Biden can be better, and they're told "if you're not loyal, you're a Trumper" it just seems like depressed Dem turnout shouldn't be surprising.
Hell, Biden said Black people who weren't 100% sure they were going to vote for him, maybe weren't Black. Which full circle, is why we never fucking heard from him
It wasn't a good thing, it's because he wasn't fit for the job and when he opened his mouth he said all the wrong things.
That has not been my experience.
If you haven't seen that over the last four years...
Well, sometimes things seem obvious to one person, while another has no clue what's going.
The problem is when that person insists things that conclusively can be proven didn't happen, because they weren't paying attention.
Ironically enough, you're proving my point.
Something not happening to me doesn't mean it didn't happen to you.
...
It's very possible you never criticized Biden so you'd never have seen it.
But someone whose paid the slightest amount of interest in politics over the last four years would have seen the exchange happen.
I struggle to believe someone political engaged never saw it. But you just cracked double digit words don't want to wear you out.
Let me know when the sand gets interesting.
If Kamala had won, Hunter being in the custody of the DOJ wouldn't be a national security risk.
Just what the actual fuck does that even mean?
