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!

So...
In your mind, the people screaming their voices raw that Biden is an unpopular candidate, and could lose like Hillary did in 2016....
If they're right, and Biden does lose, you're going to blame them for trying to warn everyone before it was too late to change candidates?
That's the same logic that got medicine women burned as witches when they said somone won't survive an illness.
Like, I see that shit all the time here, it never makes any sense, and when I try to get someone to explain why they think that, I usually just get some weird insult or no reply at all.
When covid broke out, were you also yelling at scientists to shut up because as long as you weren't aware of the danger you thought it couldn't hurt you?
Democrats would rather lose and have someone to blame than move to the left.
If they lose to a Republican, they're back in power in 4-8 years.
If they lose to a FDR style Dem, then they may never get power of the party back.
That's why the DNC fights progressives harder than republicans.
Meanwhile progressives are trying to stop fascism and our own side keeps tripping us and then lecturing us while the fascists keep on marching.
