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 is not cardboard in my mind. It is not acceptable or palatable at all.
It's actually really funny to me that you decide to make this choice. To purpose biden is not chicken shit but instead cardboard.
The fact that you look at biden and the genocide that he is directly helping commit, and see that as acceptable, Says a lot more about you than me.
You are a genocide apologist.
Or in other words, carboard.
Dude, cardboard is not acceptable. I never said it was. I have explicitly told you that the current situation is not acceptable.
Dude I am so close to getting banned from c/conservative for saying Isreal's genocide is bad. You've got it backwards.
Then why are you accepting it?
A vote for biden is support for him to continue doing what he does. How do you not see that ?
While I can appreciate that. ( although its probably a waste of time) It doesn't absolve you from what your doing here.
You are actively pushing people to vote for a party who absolutely supports the genocide. They are the ones in power now. They are the ones who cut the check. There is always nuance, but there is no watering this down.
Biden supports genocide , you support Biden.
You support genocide.
I'm not. I'm specifically voting against it where possible.
Not really. A vote for Biden is a vote against Trump.
50 is bigger than 5. So I'll vote for 5.
I'm aware it's largely a waste of time. That's why I do it at work when I'm trying to kill time.
The democratic party is split. That's not good. But in comparison the republicans are at nearly 100% support for the current genocide, plus they are cool with a second one in Ukraine.
Both sides are not equal here.
I don't support Biden. I voted against him in the primaries. I hate his policy just as much as you do. You can vote for a politican without agreeing with 100% of what they do.
I'm doing what I can to reduce the impact of this country's terrible politics. And that start with making sure the least bad politician is the one that gets in, because doing nothing means the worst option (Trump) gets put in power.
I could just as easily say you support genocide.
You support Trump. Trump supports genocide. Therefore you support genocide.
