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!

Meh fuck it... vote for the orange fascist and end democracy. Fucking morons.
I'd vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there's voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.
precisely. you can’t just ignore articles about the “moronic” things voters are saying, because those “morons” happen to each have a vote. pay attention to them or lose.
The fact that New York Times of all things is now considered evil/propaganda/russian because they reported the factual news of "People aren't enjoying Biden" and "The Debate was between a orange liar and a old man, neither won" people are wanting to boycott it.
Like this is when Republicans stopped watching (briefly until they forgot) Fox News because Chris Christie started thanking Obama for taking care of the repairs after a Hurricane. The moment their favorite news source doesn't repeat the same talking points as they want to hear, it's now evil.
Liberals just was a Democrat version of OAN, not a free press. John Oliver and John Stewart both got a lot of random hate mail from liberals for saying "Biden isn't a new FDR."
We’re all fucked, we’re gonna get trump. I’m voting Brandon, but the guy fucked up huge.
They should view the data and make an appropriate response instead of letting their ego get in the way.
I should have a 10” schlong.
Its funny how democrats actually believe we have any form of democracy. Your candidates are hand chosen by corporations and bankers, Your media is essentially state run propaganda, they have you fighting over which right wing oligarch will serve you this term, and they use voters to do their dirty work of keeping them in power
There's already catastrophic levels of voter apathy and that's your response?
You don't like apathetic sarcasm? I'm going to vote for the guy with one foot in the grave with the hopes we end up with the first female president relatively quickly.
Voter apathy is largely myth. What liberals refer to as voter apathy are disenfranchised voters that realize that the system does nothing to help them, they are poor with blue in the White House and Congress they are poor with red in the White House and Congress. One tells you he's going to stab you in the back while the other one calls himself an ally while also stabbing you in the back.
Meh, I guess so
