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!

They do, (for better or worse) Biden’s a career politician who has consistently won elections for decades. He beat trump before and has been out raising him this whole time.
Check out OPs post history. It’s almost like they only post articles meant to give you a certain impression…
No, they clearly don't, because they didn't fucking check when these deadlines were and then just handed over a dumb story to people they should know want to do them harm. Washington probably will cover their ass, but Ohio and Alabama will be all too happy to hang them out to dry. This is a national organization taking in millions of dollars to support their mission of winning the perpetual "most important election", you'd think they'd pay a lawyer to check fucking filing dates. You'd be fired for this at a normal job, but it's just endless second chances in the Democratic establishment.
Biden winning a blue seat for decades isn't evidence his team or the DNC (whoever made this call) is good at their job, unless you also think Chuck Grassley has the best and brightest political minds working for him. And OP has nothing to do with this. They didn't make up this story of incompetence, it's running on national news. Pretending OP is the problem is just sticking your head in the sand.
Relax, this isn’t the first time conventions were held past the date it’s just the first time republicans wanted to use it as a threat to keep an insurrectionist on the ballot.
Also, candidate Biden’s team doesn’t set nomination conventions for the Democratic party. It makes no sense blaming it on him.
That level of control you’re upset at NOT seeing is the boogie man they lie about when they claim Biden and Hillary controlled all the strings to shut out poor helpless Bernie. Can’t have it both ways.
Holy shit, get with the times, man. Republicans are not going to pass a law to give the DNC an exception. They are enemy actors. Don't be surprised when some bygone comity, most recently driven by a need to support their own candidate's late convention, doesn't carry forward. Treat them as threats and don't give them tools to screw you over.
I never blamed Biden for this. You're the one who said that Biden's wins means the people who did this were competent. The people setting up the convention are however, certainly "working to get Biden elected" (the actual people I blamed). Though I find it massively naïve of you to assume his direct campaign staff are just passive onlookers in the process. Even if they were, they should be on it too. If a third party's incompetence can fuck up your ballot access, double check their work. These weren't secret dates and everyone knows who's in charge in Alabama and Ohio.
