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!

And some of it's good, like this
Lots of what he says would be good...
It's easy to say stuff people think is good.
But actions matter more than words. And Biden doesn't have a great track record for actions
This is a comment thread about a policy action. What are you on about?
That we shouldn't give credit for things till they happen
Especially when what it is, isn't enough
And when the aide comes, what will you elect Trump over next?
If somebody told you they didn't like Ford trucks, would you start insulting Chevy because your mind honestly thinks it's a binary thing and everyone loves one and hates the other?
That would be stupid as fuck, but seems to happen a lot here on Lemmy.
Binary thing? What else would you call a two party system?? Wow
The illusion of choice...
To be specific something where the rich always win and the poor always lose.
But sometimes we get basic human rights, and sometimes we lose them.
But the money stays the same. Tax rates the Dem party support today, would have been too conservative for Republicans when fucking Reagan was in office.
It's weird that has to be explained so often still, but that's why neither party seriously wants to help education I guess...
And? It's still a two party system.
It used to be that we had a say in the primary system.
Now we don't.
Accept it and you're accepting the end of American democracy.
I don't spend a lot of time talking to people like that, especially when they seem happy about it and try to convince people to just accept it and even talking about it is bad.
What? Both sides?
Okay... Now what?
