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!

I don't even like cornel west and it's been said a million times but opposing Biden ≠ supporting trump. The electoral college decides who becomes president, your vote doesn't matter just the statistics do. I can't in good conscience support either of them because they really are more or less the same. Both support Palestinian genocide, both had a racist border wall being built during their term, both are ostensibly pandemic deniers and pedophiles. Fuck defending anyone interested in politics tbh, but Joe Biden? Joe Biden is like Elon musk - people will leap to his aid for whatever goddamn reason like he's the Messiah idk why you'd waste your time for him
Sure, there's a list of things he has done, technically to his credit he isn't sleeping ALL day, but biden still isn't trying hard enough in my book. Like, none of that means shit really. I look at that and don't see the bare minimum a democratic president should be doing, and the bar I set is fucking low I assure you.
I don't think you know how our elections work. FPTP system, no guaranteed airtime or debate time for eligible candidates, and no spending limits say your statement is wrong.
yeah who needs obergefell and griswold
Who needs to defend a narcoleptic oligarch racist who insists he's a leftist and a capitalist at the same time? You're defending one of the most powerful people in the world. Hope you're getting paid lol
