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!

You clearly didn't understand what I wrote.
First part or second.
Edit: your down vote only makes this more embarrassing for you.
Everybody already knows Trump is a fraud, idiot, scum, etc. Just look at how many anti Trump articles are in the sub. The other people here have it covered.
What exactly is it that you would like me to do for you?
The same thing every centrist would like from everyone to their left: they want you to shut up forever.
I'm hardly centrist. I can just think a few moves ahead.
Like: can you give me a name of a better candidate who polls well enough against Trump? If you have one, I'm very open to supporting a viable candidate further to the left.
And there we go. The accusation that any criticism of Biden is advocacy for Trump. Like clockwork.
Check my post history. I've been critical.
But posting MULTIPLE, endless, never-miss-a-negative story... That's not criticism. That's not saying this Gaza thing was woefully mishandled.
That's not making a point.
It's just Biden-hate. They posted an article that attempted to make a big deal about his physical not including a mental eval. They are fishing for anything anti-Biden.
Criticism is topical. This person's topic is hating Biden.
Edit: On a thread about voting "uncommitted," how that plays out in November is directly relevant.
And now you move from attacking me to attacking OP.
Biden supports genocide, so anyone who criticizes him for supporting genocide must have an ulterior motive.
I never attacked you. I asked you a question that you haven't answered.
The article is indirectly, but obviously related to Gaza. I'm saying OP posts almost every article possible that casts shade on Biden and it need not be Gaza related at all.
I have not moved off of that topic.
Read. With comprehension. What I wrote?
Because you're responding to what you heard, not what I said.
Edit to be clearer: my topic is that you fish every possible anti-Biden article you can remotely make fly here.
The articles are a lot better than the anti-Trump ones for engagement. Anti-Trump articles go like this.. Trump sucks... You are so right!... Yeah Trump sucks!.. Yes I agree! The end.
Articles critical of Biden get actual discussion from the entire political spectrum.
