Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

This was also a complete failure on the media to do the supposed job of the 4th estate.

I voted for Biden and yeah that mother fucker is too old. No argument

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

We all knew it; it's just that he (and his cabinet) was clearly better than the guaranteed alternative.

Trump is not much younger.

Both can be too old

The down votes are living in absolute denial.

Every single time, you call out something obvious with documented sources, by trusted sources, and they downvote it because it disagrees with their thinking.

.world and .ml just disagree on what they downvote, that's it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't think people disagree. They're just tired of hearing the same story for three months straight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

This is the first time I'm seeing an article with names and concrete examples of them gaslighting Biden into thinking he's not declining.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Then ignore it, don't downvote facts like Republicans.

Has nothing to do with being a fact or not. Today is trump day 1, we all knew this was the case for biden, and ozma is fucking tone deaf.

This is a downvote because it is not contributing in a way that anyone needs or wants to see today.

They should be held accountable and face charges

ETA until this is removed because they don't wanna face the uncomfortable truths?
