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!

A lot of Democrats and Independents, including myself, will show up in the "disapproval" column for Joe Biden. I will still vote for him any day of the week over any Republican he's up against.
As a lifelong Democrat, thanks.
As an American who wishes to retain our democracy, Thank You.
Everyone please vote responsibly in 2024.
Do we disapprove of his student load forgiveness or support of unions?
He has tried several times to forgive student loans but was blocked by Republicans in Congress and Trump's SCOTUS. I appreciate the continued effort from Biden even with Republicans doing everything in their power to crap on students. And unions for that matter.
Support of unions that stops when the strikes would actually do something, and starts up again during an election season. Can't have the rail unions strike for 3 more days and ruin my economic record, even if that would not only support workers rights, and be better for the economy in the long-term but also prevent chemical spills like in Palestine Ohio.
His support of unions begins and ends with election season. Did we forget what he did to the rail unions when they dared to ask for sick days?
Honestly the GOP is so disjointed right now that a third party actually has a chance if enough D's that are fed up with Biden organize
More of you will just stay home in protest.
Nah. We know that won't work in a two-party, winner-take-all system.
Worked great for Hillary. You going to tell my your fellow democrats voted in Trump?
A lot has happened since Hillary. We all know what Trump entails now.
Be prepared for disappointment.
There are plenty of never-Trump Republicans out there who will not show up if Trump wins the nomination.
I really, really, doubt that there are a large number of people who fit that description. I would love to be proven wrong, but it seems like there are orders of magnitude more batshit-crazy christo-fascist racists, than there are moderate republicans.
There are lots of never Trumpers out there. Even more after Jan 6. But, more significantly, lots of Independents detest Trump but would consider voting for a different Republican or a Democrat.
Possibly true for independents, the the "never-teump republicans" you mentioned are unicorns. The republicans are too busy sucking his dick to stop and think whether they should vote for someone else.
