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!

Got a present for you
I’m not saying Biden’s oldness is not a problem. I think most people with eyes can see that it is. I’m saying that the idea that the voters are panicking and abandoning him is 1,000% media created, because they remember what the alternative is, and also that strategizing what the best path forward now for the Democrats is, and then executing the best strategy (whether it winds up being Biden or not) is a much better use of time than freaking out in general and attacking Biden relentlessly while offering only vague untruths (with no particular strategy) for what the party should do instead of him.
(Unless you want Trump to win, in which case it’s an excellent use of time)
That polling may change if one of them actually gets their face out there.
...Except for Clinton, or maybe Newsom. They already have a lot of name recognition, and TBH is extremely sad that everyone is polling just about as well as Clinton. Swayable people I know do not like her.
Still you are not wrong. I think Dems are in trouble either way.
So let’s have one of them get their face out there
If there is someone the Democrats want to replace Biden with, let’s hear the name, let’s hear the plan. If they are keeping it secret because they think telling the media the plan will produce a bad result in some way, I can assure them that it will produce less of a bad result than just going on evening news shows every day and wailing about what an emergency it is that Biden is old and how they’re going to lose the election now. I can pretty much promise that producing the plan will produce a better result than that will.
