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!

Because voting Dem has turned out so well for everyone hasn't it.
Compared to Trump? Yes, very much so.
how has your life been changed due to Biden during all years as a politician? he picked a prosecutor for a vice and has a pro police stance, he's catholic and now women have no rights, workers rallied and he silenced them with threats to their livelihoods and the minimum wage is still $7.25 with a higher inflation than when he took office
his whole career as politician has been against us the citizens
why does he deserve votes now?
goose meme who took away women's rights?
Who took them away?
And did you actually pay attention to the union negotiation results and impacts on worker rights? Here's a hint, they're stronger than before
Who controls inflation? Do you think the president does?
Because however principled you are about the shittiness of the two-party system - and it is indeed shitty, but it's the one we're stuck in - we have a practical choice of only one of two people, and he's not the other one.
Americans have no choice but the 2-party state: it is futile to even try to change things.
Only in swing states.
Most states you know exactly what the outcome is going to be, no matter how hard you or they campaign.
We understand FPTP and the electoral college.
Where do you get your news, champ?
House price inflation has slowed since biden came into office. The NLRB is much improved. The FCC is trying to bring back net neutrality. Theres been half a dozen uses of antitrust laws to keep corporations from consolidating so they can fire workers and jack up prices for consumers. Marijuana is being reduced in schedule such that it can be used medically.
I would say that Biden has - to any working person who is even half paying attention - been one of the best presidents for average people in the last 50 years. Its a low bar but credit where its due.
rescheduled to get more regulations put in place like what happened with nicotine vaping being regulated nearly out of existence with only one or two megacorps allowed mixed with sus products by iffy companies skirting regulations
