Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

I'm voting for Biden. Not happily, not even simply neutral on the matter. I hate that I have to vote for Biden.

If AOC ran, I would not be even a little reluctant to vote for her. She reminds me of Bernie.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 141 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I’m voting for the Biden administration. It’s more than just him. We need them all.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And the possible seats on SCOTUS

I’m voting the same way but more because we need to not have the other administration, we need much more that the current admin but we also do not have the luxury of being picky

Fuck yeah. Probably won't go anywhere with a traitorous house majority but it's worth it to try and get them on the record.

Just today I read that Clarence Thomas accepted a yacht trip to Russia. There's a huge air of corruption around him and I've heard people are calling for him to step down.

And it was from 2003. So he’s been taking this shit forever and not reporting it.

Wow, someone in Congress with a backbone. Nice to see.

[–] Kerred@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I am still hoping for the day to see someone of the same party convict a politician.

If anyone has any cases I'd love a link!

AOC from NYC is the MVP in DC.

If you're going to do the thing with replacing Biden as the candidate, you couldn't get better than AOC, who will be 35 before November.

I personally think replacing Biden this late is a bad move even though I already think Biden sucks. But I grit my teeth and voted for the fucker just like I did with Clinton, because the alternative is literally insanity and fascism. I just don't realsitically seeing the party coalesce around anyone new at the last minute. Organizing Democrats is like herding cats, being a big tent party sucks noodles.

[–] ghostface@lemmy.world 52 points 2 years ago (10 children)

Just keep repeating, Biden may not be the best, but his administration has been fantastic!

In comparison to the other party... Not just Biden you are voting for the administration. Supreme court justices Which affect everyday life!

Lets all hold our breath while we wait for something to actually happen because of this.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 68 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It’s a public repudiation in a way that is extraordinarily rare and highly symbolic. Nothing may change but shots have been fired across bows.

I still appreciate that its happening.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 37 points 2 years ago (13 children)

This will go nowhere. Oh, wait. I forgot that I live in a fake democracy. Sad face.

Are we pretending impeachment does something useful again?

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 62 points 2 years ago (4 children)

If you assume it never will again, then you've been defeated

Wasn't trump impeached twice? What does this even mean concretely?
Not knocking the sentiment, just questioning the practicality

AOC might make me a Democrat again.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I wish there was a way to get rid of corrupt judges at the highest level that wasn't a political process. I never understood the lifetime appointments anyway. It hasn't done anything to keep them from being partisan.

Fantastic, I know this probably won't go anywhere but this is the right thing to do regardless. SCOTUS needs to be held accountable to the American people for their actions. We grant them extraordinary power and that must come with extraordinary accountability. Holding them to a lower standard than any judge in a lesser court is ridiculous. The higher the court, the higher the standards should be.

Well, she is trying her best at least to do* her job.
