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 found that just one-third of all young Americans said they would back Biden if the election was held at the time the survey was conducted. The poll also reflects a virtual tie in the race. Biden leads former President Donald Trump by just two points, and 34% of respondents are currently backing a third-party candidate or said they would support “someone else.”

Plus, despite speculation over how U.S. support for Israel may negatively affect Biden’s youth coalition, the poll found that the war in Gaza is not the top voting issue for most young Americans. Instead, economic concerns, particularly over inflation, remain front and center.

There's a reason Bill Clinton and Obama did so much outreach to those two demographics. And why that translated to very impressive victories for them.

Biden isn't doing any, and seems openly antagonistic to anyone under 40 years old.

I don't know why we stopped doing what worked when Obama left office.

We know what Dem voters want, I don't get why trump means we can't give them it. What's worrying is it looks like what matters is the people in charge of the party think they might not have to give Dem voters want they want...

And they're willing to roll the dice again.

This should be an easy win, just like the last two elections should have been.

The DNC doesn't feel like they need to earn votes, and the over 40 crowd is the easiest to target because they will vote VBNMW. They are the reason politics is a cesspool.

"The Biden-Harris Administration’s Student Debt Relief Plan Explained" - https://studentaid.gov/debt-relief-announcement

The Supreme Court issued a decision blocking us from moving forward with our one-time student debt relief plan. The information below is not up to date.

The corruption of the SC is a huge issue causing a lot of issues, and Biden is doing nothing to stop it.

He could pack the courts, but the reason for not doing it, is republicans will pack the courts even more...

But if trump is president, we won't have elections anymore anyways, right?

So why leave the corrupt SC in place when it wasn't that long ago a corrupt SC stole an election from Dems and handed it to a Republican?

Why isn't Biden fucking fighting for us?

It's literally his job.

Since he won't, why not run someone who will?

I'm sorry, what does that have to do with fixing what is likely the largest single issues facing America and what I was just talking about:

  1. Corruption of the Supreme Court

  2. Biden's refusal to say it's a problem

It's very hard to tell what part your having difficulty with when you only comment the name of an article and the link...
