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!

In 2020 38% of the vote was from Dems, 38% from republicans...
What wins/loses Michigan is independent voters, and Biden doesn't do well with them, because they want more than "I'm not the other guy! Even tho we agree on lots of stuff, we're still different"
Hell. biden isn't even doing well with Dem voters in an unopposed primary.
That should make everyone very concerned, but there's a vocal minority of Biden supporters who demand 100% loyalty and 0% questions.
"I'm not the other guy" is actually a very strong case when you look at the other guy.
The other guy wanted a "Muslim ban".
The other guy has a subdivision in Israel named after him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Heights
Biden supports Israel due to long term alliances/treaties.
Trump supports Israel because they're killing undesirables.
They are not the same.
and because the evilgelical christian nationalists who worship the ground trump walks on supports israel (but they support israel because it's necessary for the rapture and the return of their god in their death cult, but trump doesn't know or care about that).
