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.

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.

And the solution is too keep doing the same thing we do every election cycle? You realize this is the circular logic in was reffering too.
No they just support a genocide supplier and act like its the moral high ground.
The most biden and the dems will ever do is the smallest incremental change that they can advertise to chumps like you.
And while they do this they openly support war crimes around the world.
No, the solution is to vote in primaries for candidates that will move us towards STAR/approval voting, and that will get money out of politics.
The stopgap bandaid solution is to vote for the lesser of two evils. We're stuck with this bandaid until we get election reform.
Smallest incremental change + war crime support is better than active regression + war crime support.
Like I said in a separate comment, I'd rather vote for Biden than live in Gilead.
No its war crimes with extra steps.
Your options are:
War crime party + incrementally better change at best, floundering at worst
Extra war crime party + active regression/movement towards a Gilead-esc state + destruction of democracy
Throw away your vote
The choice seems pretty obvious to me.
I threw my vote away when I voted for biden. I got exactly zero of the things I wanted. And an extra genocide supply on the side.
Not to mention roe v wade got overturned. But that's totally different because the dems are.... Powerless to make real change? or even to keep things from sliding back?
But I should keep voting for them Because.....they are also powerless to stop trump? Lmao.
It's better to not get the things you want than to get fucked by Trump destroying everything.
You are really misinformed. Roe got overturned directly as a result of republicans getting voted into power. Trump had a shit load of judicial appointments, including 3 SCOTUS appointments.
The appointment Biden got was only able to maintain the status quo instead of making things worse.
You're literally blaming the democrats for the republican's evil actions.
Both parties are culpable, they switch back and forth in control and nothing actually changes.
Democrats are completely unable to stop republicans evil action. They are worthless or accomplices or both.
