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!

So is this the new Russian disinformation strategy? We loved on from Genocide Joe to let’s switch out. Iden?
Not going to happen, and I doubt any other candidate could do better at this point of the election cycle.
I already see our local Russian trolls spouting this bullshit.
This attitude that any criticism of Biden is from Russian trolls is getting a little tiresome. And childish
You’re right, not just Russian Trolls, but wannabe fascists and naive fools here in the US. Anyone who doesn’t see the absolute disaster that Trump will be, and instead “BoTh SiDeS” things or uses “GeNoCiDe JoE” is just an absolute fool.
That's a hell of a jump. Suggest that we could do better than Biden and youre a fascist, a fool and a Trump supporter. Seriously, grow up. This is no way to discuss issues
Were there better candidates than Biden? Absolutely. Can we realistically expect any of them to jump in now and have a chance of winning? Absolutely not.
There’s a big difference, especially when you look at the realities of the situation. If you don’t believe me, name a candidate that would have a stronger chance than Biden now.
Come November, when it’s between Biden and Trump, any vote not going to Biden is helping fascisim.
I'd go for Elizabeth Warren. If it were possible right now, AOC. Also Bernie Sanders. Anyway, I'm not saying you're wrong: I genuinely don't know. What offends me is calling people who think another strategy might be better, fascists or Russian shills.
Was Biden looking like warmed over death a week ago Russia disinformation too? Or should I not trust my lying eyes?
He looked warmed over?
