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!

Plutocrats patting themselves on the back as they hand the country to fascism. Biden should give himself and hunter one while he's at it. Throw in one for Garland and Mueller to give a real fuck you to the people.
Disgusting creatures.
what are they supposed to do? the alternative is deliberately choose to start a civil war, and vindicate the opposition's paranoia by giving them a rallying cry.
two bad options, they had to pick one.
Biden already has one, funny enough, given to him by Obama in his final days of office.
How did they “hand the country to fascism”? And why are you attacking Garland and Mueller in the same way Trump does?
Rather then rallying support among the workers and minorities they tried to win over the "undecided centrists". As a result they lost the left, minorities voted Trump, and workers were mostly split (as bad as Trump is he did give lip service to workers).
You’re saying the left is to blame for Trump winning because they didn’t vote?
not exclusively, but that's certainly a contributing factor in losing the game at the last minute.
Its not the workers job to support genocide, its the workers job to ensure that their leaders dont support genocide
Representative Democracy is obsolete. We're approaching the stage that technology would allow Direct Democracy. Representative democracy has been killed by Corporate oligarchic lobbyists and hostile governments waging information warfare on titanic scale. the goose is cooked
America funds the IDF so Israel will prevent Iran from taking over the region and to keep Russia out of Syria.
Russia and Iran are responsible for the genocide in Ukraine.
It’s the workers job to support the Ukrainian people and democracy.
Its not the workers job to prop up liberal Democracy, if anything its the obligation of every worker to destroy Liberalism and establish a true workers democracy.
Because they are useless cunts. Either incompetent or complicit or cowards
Why do you feel that way?
A convicted felon who attempted to overthrow the government is becoming president in 16 days
A convicted felon tries to become president and succeeds. Why do you blame others for his actions?
It's called "controlled opposition". When you want something bad but don't want to look like you really support the bad thing you just do a really shitty job "trying" to stop it and then when you inevitably fail you get to reap all the benefits while still claiming you fought against it.
It’s called a conspiracy theory when there is no evidence to support your claims.
There is plenty of evidence; you're just ignorant of it. If you can't see it now you're probably too indoctrinated to ever see it.
No u
What's it called when you ignore evidence that's right in front of you and keep trying the same things over again only to keep losing?
That’s called a Happy Time Harry
Democrats won 5 of the last 9 elections
So not having a primary last year was just an honest mistake you think? Maybe Biden should have stayed on and the mistake was him stepping aside? I'm sure he would have won if only he had a chance.
Must be nice to live in a world where politicians are honest and have the best interests of the people in mind instead of corporations.
There were a lot of black and female voters that would’ve been disenfranchised and not voted if someone other than Harris was chosen to replace the president, it was her job. After all, it’s the vice presidents job to replace the president.
We will never know if Biden would’ve won if he stayed in. Many feel his chances were over after the debate with Trump. But Trump won after Harris made him look stupid at their debate.
Nice strawman
I would love nothing more then to be proven wrong in future elections.
A lot of things are conspiracies until years later we get proof of them, I expect if/when we find out the full picture of where the money went the 2020 election will be a prime example of how Democrats value donor money much more then they value winning elections or having policies that win elections.
So here is hoping that in 4 years you can come back and say "I told you so" when Democrats actually present a winning platform in 28.
Because Garland should have prosecuted the convicted felon who is being put into power in a few days.
Is wanting justice to the nation at large now equally as bad as Trump's morons storming the capitol?
Garland tried to but Trump’s judge had the case delayed.
Why pretend like Trump didn’t prevent the case?
Biden appointed him to slow walk the investigation so he could run as second worst to Trump again.
Wow that’s a pretty big conspiracy theory.
Too bad there was never a point that the case wasn’t moving forward until Trumps judge had it delayed.
Why would Biden want to slow the investigation against Trump?
Is it ok for us to talk about this without tinfoil hats on?
You may trust a man who spent a year and a quarter selling weapons for genocide to be honest and virtuous enough to want justice even if it meant running against someone other than the man he already beat once.
You may think he was smart enough not to want to run against Trump again after four years of broken promises.
I do not give people who supply weapons for genocide the benefit of the doubt. Now scream "conspiracy theory" at anything that isn't performative worship of Biden under any given circumstances.
In your opinion.
