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!

Again, I've always said it should be Biden on the basis that Biden wouldn't be as bad as Trump, despite Biden's clear flaws. That's what I'm still saying. You're the one continuously criticizing the Dems for using scare tactics to get votes, and then promptly doing exactly the same for yourself by baselessly calling the Dems "far-right" over and over.
Lmao you've done nothing of the kind, you just keep giving the same insane opinions. Something like, "Biden broke the UAW strike" is a fact and literally true, well done. That's the first fact in a good while, though. It's also just one example, so here's a counter-example. Trump took SNAP from nearly 700,000 people. Something like, "the DNC are far-right" is just an opinion and not literally true. You'd have a lot more work on your hands to be convincing in that regard when the real right is salivating at the thought of gutting programs like SNAP and Social Security right now.
More handwaving. He literally already came close to stopping the certification of his failure by force and has lots of help from his team of loyal strategists. This election really is like no other.
Never made that criticism you genuinely are making things up to feel make yourself feel better for losing this argument. I always said they are right wing economically, and referenced right wing economic policy. Once again your vote is why they don't move left, because they don't have to.
Have sent way more links and referenced actual policy like NAFTA that only a Dem like Clinton was able to pass after Republicans had been trying and failing.
I have stated several facts that you disregarded because they are facts, not because I care about convincing you.
It's not. You will use the same argument in 28 to justify your vote that drags our nation further to into privatization and neoliberalism that Biden made a career of. January 6 was not a real insurrection or else they would have guns and a plan to stay, not a bunch of idiots being let into the capital.
Who's making things up to feel better? Yeah, you accused them at least a few times of using scare tactics to gain favor, indicating that the threat isn't really there and that it's actually nothing to worry about. Then you use the same scare tactics that the DNC threatens to drag the US to the right.
You've sent 5 sources across like 28 comments, I've done over twice that. So what?
They did, among other weapons. They also had to be forced from the building before they left, they weren't leaving on their own. They also weren't just let in, there is footage everyone has seen of lines of riot cops fighting to prevent entry to the building itself.
Those are different arguments, and it's okay you can't comprehend that. Not everyone is cut out for this kind of analysis.
You are since you have not yet accepted that you vote is directly linked to genocide.
Not at all the same. When have I said that Dems are far right on social issues? Once again you're making things up to feel better about clearly being outclassed in this discussion since you are not able do independent research about the effects of your votes.
Not true, and your links have been irrelevant like how you didn't even know how party membership works and tried to use that to say the Green party is in decline when it is in a current surge of momentum from Cornell West considering running for the nomination.
LOL you don't even read the articles you post, there are literally no picture of weapons, just text.
That's literally all wrong, but ok, bud.

Whatever, that's an opinion piece.
