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!

My man, do you hear yourself? You're on tirades flying off the handle all over the forum. Bent out of shape over Internet points, meanwhile other folks are actually replying to you. Get over yourself. Hug a family member or something.
I'm scolding people for not engaging. Stop projecting your reddit brain internet point obsession onto me. You're the one who decided to interject. And now you're overreacting to me replying to you? I guess you felt entitled to talk down to me without my having an opportunity to explain myself? Get over yourself. Go back to hiding behind your downvotes if this is how you react to a back and forth.
I have been downvoted and it caused me to introspect.
It doesn't necessarily change my values or even my position but it is a signal for me to think about the way I'm thinking about stuff. It means I'm clearly missing a perspective.
In the case of you, I think there are enough people trying to reply with reasoning that the up votes and downvotes are just other people supporting positions and expressing their rejection of a position which is already being refuted. They're adding signal without noise.
There have been no reasonable replies. Nothing but covid deniers and vapid slapfighters like you. Not a single person with a well thought out position that comports with measurable reality. When lies don't work, there's grandstanding like you're doing without a single thing of substance to reply to. BlueMAGA and nothing else.
The reason you don't think Biden did anything wrong, it turns out, is because you agree with him that covid is over and if you die it's your fault for ~~being disabled, poor or unlucky~~ not getting a vaccine (despite most people who die being vaccinated).
You don't have a problem with Biden because you're also a eugenicist. Close enough to a nazi that I feel no hesitation in giving you the title. It's not the only piece of nazi ideology you've taken on yourself with your support of the democrats.
You're talking down to me but I think you're subhuman. And my reasoning is inarguable. The attitude towards people who die of covid in this thread is borderline gleeful. But then again you have a .world account so the fact that your beliefs and values are indistinguishable from nazis is pretty much 'dog bites man'
It's the extreme leaps to wild conjecture that you're asserting here that makes it so difficult to take you seriously. It's hard for me to conclude you aren't a troll. It's simply not normal or healthy to make assessments of the intentions of people who barely said anything. Not one of us is an oracle like that. In the off chance that you are intending to be a serious person who just happens to have a bad attitude and chip on your shoulder, I sincerely hope you have lovely and supportive people around you. You deserve the best.
What do you think the word 'conjecture' means?
Stop vagueposting. You want to grandstand but you don't actually want to expose your bullshit to scrutiny. What is your problem with me? Say it out loud.
What a pompous weaselly noodge.
