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!

Biden has to have more to offer than to be the alternative to Trump, and because even bringing up his age causes condemnation, I'm not sure there's actually much else being considered about Biden as a candidate.
Biden would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives.
I'm pretty excited for the Amtrak expansion myself. It paves the way for actual urban transit options.
Sure would be nice to know what the Republican platform is, besides being not Democrat.
At least the Dems have a platform, and they work towards it.
You mean where they're pro-union but they block strikes?
You mean where they're against genocide but support Israel?
You mean where they want to raise the minimum wage but set the Treasury and the Fed on a warpath against American workers?
You mean where they're pro-choice but refuse to codify it?
Establishment Democrats do not work towards their platform. They intentionally self sabotage.
EDIT: I forgot one: You mean where they claim to take climate change seriously but then force thousands of federal workers to return to offices?
good job
We living in a democracy in name only. Without a free press and independent media and without better rules to allow the people to make better choices, it's always going to go the way of some weird self reinforcing and randomly mutating ideology.
Dems help Republicans work towards their platform
Show your work.
An alternative to Trump is good enough for me. Then again I’ve lost all hope in our system of government so that helps.
Then you guarantee the candidate who wins the 2028 DNC primaries will be no better.
Every 4 years Republicans move 6 steps towards fascism, while dems only move 4 steps towards fascism and tell us they're our only hope to avoid fascism.
