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

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!

I want to retire. I am sick of this country being run by workaholics. I want it to be run by people planning on not working themselves into the fucking grave, and expecting the rest of us to do so as well.
57 years is the oldest a candidate should be for a first-term presidency. 61 for a second term. If they still want to play politics, they can take a position in their local HOA.
Nah. It's all good 👍. Just find a young candidate next time. Like 30 years old please. If it's another 70 year old white guy, I'm gonna be royally pissed for sure.
Right now I'm just annoyed so I'm not leaving my job just to get shot by the police as they are trained to do.
Minimum age to be president is 35, it would take an amendment to change that, and if we are going to burn the resources to get an amendment passed that's way down the list of things we need to fix.

Because it is largely disinformation and people are being paid to write articles on it or claim such behind closed doors but not publicly
um because folks like me are fine with him as the rep and I don't see any replacement as being any more viable.
The last time we filled the streets we wanted police reform and didn't get it.
The time before that it was to protest a war that happened anyway.
Not only did we not get police reform, we got a cop as a democratic vice president.
Yes, top cop Kamala. And now they’re threatening to roll with her if Biden has to step down. We’re doomed.
Because, as the sitting President, the only person who can make that decision is Biden. It literally does not matter what anyone else says or does.

Only disinformation campaigns, brought to us by Republicans and Russia are calling for it
Because in no case where they switched candidates in the process did they win an election.
None. It's certain defeat.
Now, if someone would tell these people trying to nullify the vote to kindly fuck off, that'd be great.

I mean, they packed university campuses across the country and then the riot police went in. What kind of goldfish memory is this?
They're asking why democrats aren't in the streets though. Democrats were largely against those campus protests since they were perceived as harmful to Biden's reelection chances.

Because those demanding it are few and wealthy and the media is carrying their water?
