Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

"Despite these polls and the passions raised by the war with Hamas, it is easy to exaggerate the power of Gaza as a motivating issue for voters eight months from no-win November. History suggests that foreign policy issues end up as a minor motif in presidential politics unless American soldiers are dying in combat as they were in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2004.”

100% with you.

Liberals are anti-war. They are anti-genocide. They are pro-worker. They are pro-care-for-the-needy. The Democrat shift to progressivism over liberalism is what put Trump into office to start with.

Biden narrowly got through on the bulletproof platform "I'm not Trump."

Now he is going into a second election with the bulletproof platform "I have made it illegal for some workers to strike. I keep failing to actually deliver student loan relief. I didn't get you that covid stimulus I said id deliver 'first week in office'. I have moved billions of dollars of the public trust to Israel so they can buy the weapons I bypass congress to sell to them so they can commit a genocide in the name of luxury condos. I have expanded military operations almost everywhere in the world EXCEPT the Ukraine. I still hide from the cameras as much as possible because my oratory skills make Bush Jr look Winston Churchill. You will never be able to own a home, ever, and groceries will only continue to go up and up and up while I say 'Bidenomics work! There are no issues with the American economy'. And I'm still not Trump."

It isn't a Biden problem. Its a Democrat Party problem. But its also a giant Biden problem.

Aren’t all of those untrue?

You have lived the entire 4 years with your head literally up Biden's ass trying to hide from Trump, haven't you?

No, its all true. The Democrat party has almost completely imploded. Biden is leading that charge. This is what happens when you "vote for the lesser evil" consistently. The lesser evil gets more and more evil.

Modern Republicans literally just want to kill Mexicans, Trans people, women who have miscarriages, and force the children they rape to birth their children.

Democrats are a carbon copy of Bush Jr era Republicans.
