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!

Probably because thentisk of cognitive ability decline over a 4 year period increases significantly. Even if either were at their peak now, there is a higher risk of cognitive decline. Biden already shows signs of decline, so will likely worsen significantly. Trump likely has severe mental health issues and was never in peak health since entering politics.

Pressure should be placed in Biden to stand down. Trump too, but he won't respond to calls to do the right thing. Biden might. Biden whole reason to stand was to not have Trump. Well, he's causing it to be more likely Trump. He should state that both of them are too old and mental faculties are not there and stand down.

If he does not, everyone we sensible should still vote Biden in. Trump is dangerous and unhinged.

Trump didn't seem that dangerous or unhinged to me. I also don't see mental decline in Trump like I do Biden. I don't see how any sensible person could vote for Biden. The US cannot be run by someone with dementia

Do you see how it could be led by a fascist? Does that seem good to you..? Are you just ok with Americans being murdered by the right? That will happen with Trump, I guarantee it.

[–] NoSuchAgency@reddthat.com -5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why didn't it happen when he was in office before? And right now we're being murdered by illegal aliens, and that'll continue until Biden is gone

They're just less likely to have it reported to the fbi statistics. 40% of our major cities aren't reporting crime statistics to the fbi now. No matter how you try to frame it, there are still illegals in our country murdering, raping, and robbing people, crimes that were completely preventable. And you don't know me, people like you just call everyone a racist that doesn't agree with your ideology

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Youre talking about that change in reporting requirement from 2021. Good thing this article cites studies and timelines well before then.

[–] NoSuchAgency@reddthat.com -2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, back then we hadmore of a process and they weren't coming in by the numbers they are now, or not coming in from every corner of the globe

[–] NoSuchAgency@reddthat.com -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And just because migrants might have been less likely to commit a crime 20 years ago doesn't mean it's the same today. These crimes are completely preventable though. There's no reason they should even be happening everyday

[–] blazera@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

20 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago, this year, there is no data you will accept, your racism transcends truth

[–] NoSuchAgency@reddthat.com -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Right, everyone is racist. Got ya.

Makes sense why you wanna disenfranchise georgian voters
