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!

Politics is so basic
Yup. One side proved they were actually concerned about the age of the candidates and did something about it while the other digs their heads in the sand and ignores reality.
Sure seems to be a super common theme these days...
So when did this “actual concern” begin ?
It was never mentioned until the Hur report raised doubts. Then Biden received fulsome support from the party.
Wtf planet are you on dude?
Say the name of the Democratic presidential nominee:
The Hur report alleviated doubts. What the fuck are you talking about
Why so aggressive?
Hur said of Biden “he’s and elderly man with a poor memory”
Following that, he was roundly supported by the party.
Did you ignore the congressional hearing where it was demonstrated that Hur lied and omitted facts to spin that narrative?
You just said he alleviated doubts …..but now you say he was found to be lying ?
What are you trying to say ?
Look, a few weeks ago, the democrats went out of their way to defend a doddery old man and told you everything was fine. Then when polling data changed, They kicked him out him, and started using age and infirmity as an attack line.
If you don’t see hypocrisy in that, and you don’t see the lack of integrity in that, and the general cheap shittery in that, then you are part of the great unthinking electorate .
