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!

How?
The candidate literally hasn't been named yet?
Lead?
What lead?
trump is fucking winning in polls because Biden's approval rating was down to like 34% last I checked.
We can't afford to keep Biden.
There has been no statement that he was not running for re election. If there was one at this point it would hurt the chances of the democrats winning.
I suppose it depends on what polls you are listening to. But I also said "may have" to hopefully avoid this discussion because it is to early to really trust any polls.
But this is all just my opinion and not fact. I'm not looking to get into a political debate with a random on lemmy. Have a great day!
Whitmere has a smaller difference than Biden does...
She hasn't been running a campaign or been backed by the DNC?
Why would she suddenly do worse with those things?
It is your opinion, the issue is to get to it you're ignoring facts ..
So...
You just want to proclaim your opinions and not have anyone explain why you're wrong?
You could just stop commenting on politics, that would help with avoiding political debates
My apologies, I'm just trying to get some comments on your post to try getting it to hot so you can be seen and have conversations with people with more insight and facts.
Everyone has an opinion, and you have done nothing to change mine with this gossip article and presenting no facts. "Biden's old shouldn't run" got it, not really a deep insight into the political policy of the US.
I'm not ignoring the facts, you just are not presenting anything new or noteworthy.

Whitmer vs trump 36/40 Biden vs trump 40/40
Good luck, not everything is a debate or argument sometimes we just want conversation.
Could've sworn you said you didn't want a political debate?
Is this one of those things where you always have to reply?
And your link is just Biden v trump head to head?
What's going on here?
