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!

If you run into a version where Bill is saying it, and he may very well be, I'll happily hate it too. There's a flavour difference between some "In this house we believe in Science" sign in the yard capital L liberal saying it and an establishment ghoul on the caliber of (either) Clinton
People don't seem to be disparaging Biden for being an establishment ghoul ...
Every fifth political article including this one is related to the conflict of more progressive or leftist voters not wanting the highly establishment Joe "bussing policy, crime bill, I'm a Zionist" Biden. If you haven't seen that then frankly I'm a little baffled
i feel like you left out "student debt for life, author of the patriot act, i represent a slave state" but like you got some of the good ones
For sure, there's quite the list to choose from!
He created and supported some of the most fucking atrocious bills to ever be fucking passed in recent history but he gets a pass for it now because.... He hasn't apologized but he's older now? Like that's it? People say he's learned but has he? What signs is there for that?!
This man started his career by ruining the life of his sister, and has been seeking power ever since, why is that a good man to save us from the horrors of Trump who is just a dumber version of Biden.
Oh and you forgot big fan of mass incarceration.
Yes, there is some criticism allowed, but too much and people start to tell me I'm threatening his re-election
Not gonna hear it from me, criticize away!
I think this particular thing is more like: is my somewhat well intentioned but misguided neighbor coming to my house complaining that I'm killing the earth with my one monthly Ziploc bag or is Exxon Mobile coming and telling me that
The first one is surely an eyeroll but the second one is a real circus act.
So, while criticizing Biden might catch you heat from some random Vote Blue No Matter Who types, it's real fuckin rich to hear it from as deep inside the machine as a Clinton
Biden and Clinton are the same level of deep in the machine. Biden was vice president, and is now the president.
Genocide Joe?
Whenever I bring that up I get flamed
