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!

Holy shit! I haven’t seen anything about this on Lemmy today or on any other day like for the last 2 weeks.
I would think that for such a big story they would have posted something. But I didn’t hear a peep. Like not even anything similar.
It’s weird how much silence there’s been about it. Usually there are like 4 or 5 accounts that are all over posting particular types of stories that make Biden or the Democrats look bad.
Its just what it is my dude. Its a conversation we should have been having last January and was disallowed within the DNC, and down-voted to oblivion by Blue Maga here. But reality has this funny way of breaking through. This is the news. These are the headlines. You can either adjust your perceptive to accept the reality you find yourself (and perhaps acknowledge that the previous conceptions you had were wrong), or you can be relegated to the dust-bin of irrelevance.
This is all really big fucking news. That debate was historic. Replacing a candidate is historic. Having a media landscape in complete denial around a candidate for as long as they were, to have it all come crashing down like this: this is true history in the making. And a few of us, we had it right all along. And we tried to communicate that. Suddenly the entire world is coming around to what a minority of posters here were trying to communicate. And if you don't find that your world view allows you to predict future states of reality, maybe you should question it. It might be that actually you were wrong in how you thought of things the whole time, and you should have been taking those things you dismissed more seriously.
