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!

That sounds like a Biden problem, DNC runs a weak shit candidate that no one wants to run, if he loses they are to blame.
Sure, the dnc is to blame, but we lose
If liberals support the party's chosen candidate thats been forced on them then thats the outcome. It doesnt look like all that talk of 'push him left after the election' worked out so well
We also didn't have the whole government apparatus burnt down by a mental three year old. I know it's not a great choice, but it is a clear one.
Its only a clear choice for those afraid of change, that have a certain level of comfort which the status quo brings them
This is an incredibly privileged take
The privilege are the ones using marginalized communities as human shields to defend their shitty politicians
My brother wake up. So many lemmings live in fantasy worlds where they believe that everyone can wake up tomorrow well informed and prepared to do the right thing. That's not reality. We can talk all day about what's the best moral candidate, but it doesn't fucking matter because at the end of the day, people are going to vote between one of two names they've heard before. 99.99% of Americans will never see your reasonings and explanations for why any given person is the best candidate, it doesn't matter how perfect your arguments are or how much evidence you have to back your claims, because you aren't friends with Rupert Murdoch, Mark Thompson, Brian Roberts, or any of the other handful of guys who completely control media information in this country.
Go ahead and vote for your third party candidate that passes all your purity tests.
President Trump is the only realistic outcome of voting 3rd party no matter what pipe dream you might want to be real. Just don't act like its not your fault when Trump is President again and you find yourself living under a dictator.
Democrats voting for weak politicians will give us Trump, at this point Biden is a spoiler candidate.
Sigh. You are a lost cause. The only bad thing is that you will spread your delusional takes and help ensure Trump gets a second chance.
The real world will condemn you and others that aid his return to power.
The DNC pushing a shitty candidate that Dems dont want will cause Biden to lose. Then they will blame everyone else for their hubris
Keep working for Trump dude, you are really helping him out bigly.
Democrats are gonna give us trump, then blame Russia or some bullshit. Clinton has already been priming the rabid dogs about Russian interference again. Thats how fascism works, they need a weak liberal party to convince the plebs they are fighting for them while they are colluding with conservatives to keep pushing right.
Ya might wanna get checked for brainworms...
