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.

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.

Have you seen the polls?
Biden isn't the best chance against trump.
trump is the best chance politicians like Hillary and Biden had/have at becoming president
We're 1/2, and polling for round three is a lot worse than last time.
You still didn't name someone. You lose.
Trolls just gonna troll
Literally any other democrat.
Such as, specifically?
The poll asked who would you rather vote for. Democrat voters said they would rather vote for “any other democrat”
Quit making stupid arguments and repeating back your MSNBC garbage
Lol
Kamala Harris.
But it's weird you think Biden is wrong and he's the only one that can beat trump.
And expect me to defend Biden's statement.
Is this one of those times moderates tell someone they should know better than listening to a moderate politician?
She's not popular enough by far. She kinda fell off once Biden was elected and hasn't had much of the spotlight. That's a problem with name recognition with voters. Also, what's she accomplished that most people would know of?
The issue is incumbency bias: winners are perceived to be able to win again. That and she's VP. If anything happens to Biden, she becomes president. For that reason alone she's a terrible candidate for a democratic primary. Biden would then need a new VP candidate for the election which would be further scrutinized.
yeah. im worried she will be running for 2028 and lose. its sad but her best bet is biden dies in office.
Well, maybe you should go ask Biden for his list of 50 other Dems...
Then tell him he's wrong and doesn't know what he's talking about, but also he's the only one that can win despite polls showing he's not even that well off against trump.
I'm over the cognizant dissonance his supporters keep insisting on. No idea why people think the correct response to Republican bullshit is doing the same thing as them
Lol. You have no answers and the feeble ones you've tried are easily debunked. You're not trying to get a better candidate you're trying to sow dissatisfaction.
Ah yes...
Recognizing an issue is the same as causing it to some people.
I thought that ended with the Salem witch trials, yet here we are.
It's snowing here now, just like the weather person said it would. Should I call him up and demand he shovel my driveway? He saw this coming, so clearly he caused it by acknowledging it. If he'd have just pretended it was going to be 70 degrees it would be a nice day out
Harris has consistently polled below Biden and has had the lowest rating of any VP for decades.
So who is polling better? Name names
