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!

It's not going to be his record breaking ice cream cone consumption during a genocide?

Biden is going to be a sad entry in the history books of presidents. The dude wasn't shitty, he wasn't great though and he let the media, his opposition, and his party mother fuck him from start to finish.

His enduring legacy will be mediocrity and ineptitude. He will be this century's Millard Fillmore. He is opposed to all that stuff but won't do anything to stop it.

He's going to be proof that people don't know what the fuck they want. People demanded unity. So he let the GOP gaslight and set the narrative while he tried to promote positivity and progress.

Then the people chose a terrorist.

People demanded balls. They got prunes.

People demanded unity.

Who are these 'people' that demanded unity? Centrist Democrats reflexively dash towards the center. It's just part of their belief system; they're personally centrist and fundamentally opposed to major transformative policy. No one 'called' for Biden to be some big unity candidate. That was his choice, not the peoples.

Like him or hate him, Biden was never not going to back Israel. He'd been an Israel supporter for a long time before he became president, and there's really no excuse for not knowing that if you're at all interested in American politics. People wish they could elect some sort of ideal president, but I've never seen one, yet.

So, given that, you might alternatively say that Hamas's enduring legacy will be the destruction of America. When they attacked Israel at that time, because of the players involved, the GOP's chances of winning big in 2024 really surged.
