Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The rest of us will be thrown into a existential crises but as long a biden is at peace it's all good

Spoken like a person who will not have to live long under the consequences of that hubris, and whose family wealth will insulate their offspring.

I’m gonna vote for you, Biden, but your personal “peace” is a shitty umbrella the rest of us don’t get to live under.

Omfg I hate this guy. Die already. Acting like this is some kinda fucking game. Pathetic.

Does he really think that he is the best candidate or does he intentionally ignore the possibility of someone else having better chances of winning?

To me it sounds like greed and pride affecting his judgement. What a shame to add this to ones legacy

Is someone on the edge of realizing Trump is a result, not a cause? People dismissed as wackos were warning about this for 20 years or more.

He's mistaking qualifications with electability. To be fair, boomers grew up in a society that was much more of a meritocracy and he's probably confused about what century he's in.

We're all going to die because another Boomer won't retire.

Well, if he had a long life ahead of him, he should worry a lot since donnie and his goons will seek to lock him up. This country will not be at peace if Biden fails.

If the neofascist movement captures America, the only thing standing between humanity and disaster will be the British and French nuclear arsenals.

The small solace I have in this universe is that the same worms will eat him

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

If he doesn't use his brand new immunity powers to have the military remove his opposition then he hasn't "given it his all".

And you know if Trump gets in power he's going to doing exactly that to his adversaries.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago

Yeah but we won’t be.

The people who truly govern American will continue doing so no matter who wins the presidency.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Funny how those people run things very differently depending on which party us in power. Almost like the secret cabal you're imagining doesn't actually run everything.

They let you fight on identity politics, while they keep raking in most of the profits. divide to conquer

Do you know that many Big money election donors, donate to both parties at the same time ?

Do you know that in the previous Congressional elections the Democratic party Funded many Republican campaigns ???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

If the neofascist movement captures America, the country will become so enshitified that their profits will go down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

You say "identity politics", I say human rights.

I wonder if he'll feel that way when he's put on trial on live television and sentenced to death. Or, if that doesn't happen, if he'll feel that way when millions of minorities are killed by trumps brown shirt equivalents or sent to camps to die. Course, he'll probably be dead by the time everything comes to fruition even if he doesn't get sentenced to death cause he's so old.

So given this, imo Biden is saying the quiet part out loud.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m getting a whole: “I’m doing this for you and if you don’t appreciate it I’m just gonna lose and enjoy my money with a trump presidency”

Americans can put Biden in the ballot or else they get the trump again

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

I'm glad Biden understands the Severity of what will happen to him and his Family if he Loses!
