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.

MODERATORS
There are, crazy to believe, tens of millions of undecided voters every election cycle. The media calls them "moderates" but really it's clueless people that don't understand politics that vote based off gut feeling or "I'd like to have a beer with that guy!". Getting through to these chucklefucks is critical to winning elections, especially when you're campaigning in a swing state like Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, etc.
Won't the money be spent trying to scare anyone who's anti trump into not staying at home come voting day?
Yes. Politics nowadays is less about winning the argument and more about actually getting your supporters to show up.
I just checked out the comments on that twitter post. Yikes, that's quite the shit show :D
Fingers crossed for your election, guys!
Even if it is bots behave like it isn't. Go out and vote.
Weird how Elon kept whining about bots being rampant until it came out that half of his followers were bots and Twitter started bleeding users and advertisers.
It's not weird. He's a pathological liar and fully intended to make Twitter worse. It's why Saudi Arabia gave him $22B to buy it with no expectation of an ROI.
There still is a long way to go. Somewhere around mid April will start retail politics and the real election narrative will be set.
It's going to come down to Abortion, Education, and Store prices during the general election. Most Americans are not invested in Israel or Ukraine.
If prices come down before Nov, Biden should win based on how Virginia turned out during it's latest election. But it will be a close election.
MAGA is very much invested in not giving Ukraine any more money. Which was Trump's plan since 2019.
a younger candidate puppet would have drawn in the millenials/genz vote this time around but boomers gonna boom..
I love the title cutting off a very important part of the quote. You guys are just helping spread fear.
Which part?
“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” that's the full quote. The quote fragment in the title makes it seems like Biden is admitting that Trump is ahead of him. Welcome to modern "journalism" and MicroWave is just a post farm so it doesn't care what "information" it spreads.
I'm pretty sure in this context frontrunner refers to the choices within the Republican primary, not the general. As in Trump is beating desantis and co.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.
He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
News outlets called Iowa for Trump roughly 30 minutes after the caucuses officially got underway.
Polling in other early primary states, such as New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, also show Trump leading.
Biden used his first campaign speeches of 2024 to warn that Trump poses a grave threat to U.S. democracy, citing his refusal to accept the 2020 election results, his refusal to condemn political violence and his vows for revenge if reelected.
Trump, speaking to supporters Monday in Des Moines on Monday night, slammed Biden as “the worst president we’ve had in the history of our country.”
The original article contains 217 words, the summary contains 144 words. Saved 34%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Biden’s campaign slogan, forever and always: “Yeah, I might stab you in the stomach with a pitchfork, but at least I’m not Trump!”
But that's better than getting shot in the face.
Yeah, a hundred percent. I’m mocking the fact that Biden’s got nothing going for him aside from not being Trump. Which is definitely something, don’t get me wrong. But it fucking sucks
