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!

Maybe I'm almost 50 & you're just not aware of what Biden has actually accomplished.
What Progressive laws did Obama get passed in his TWO terms? I'll start: AHCA & Cash for Clunkers.
What else?
I'm a lot older than you and have better news sources than the average MSM consuming crowd. From my gleanings Biden is a lot more progressive than I expected him to be but one wouldn't even suspect it from the corporate news. He has managed to get student loan forgiveness, champion support of unions and pass infrastructure reform - hardly right wing agendas. It just that Biden's successes do not get a lot of press.
When I hear complaints about Biden I recall this quote: "I look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief they have known something of what has been passing in the world around them" - Harry Truman
Well, the first article is about things he said he would do...
The second is this:
I thought if it took a law, Biden had no power? That's the excuse for him not doing most of his campaign promises.
But here's a law, and youre giving Biden sole credit for it?
We're not republicans, we're not that welcoming of hypocrisy
Oh, ok. You're just not aware of how our system of government works.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I just recognized your name...
I've tried to bock you I don't know how many times, but I still see your comments, and your post history is blank whether I have you as blocked or not
It's incredibly annoying because obviously nothing productive is going to come from us talking. Since I apparently can't block you, can you just block me at least?
I never want to have to talk to you again, and it feels mutual.
But you also keep replying to my comments in different threads, so I'll probably just have to remember exchanging you with is a giant waste of time. I'd rather just forget you exist
LOL.
Next time just say "I can't defend my position" & move on.
p.s. I'm never going to block you. It's far too important to show the rest of the class why you're wrong.
Oh my god. Anyone still refusing what this administration has achieved despite having a republican supermajority in the house is living under a rock or has an alternate agenda.
They obviously have an agenda.
