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!

"Old men yell at each other, both believing their opponent is a cloud."
I'm voting Biden to attempt to stave off the fascist, but having 2 senile men argue with each other would be entertaining to say the least.
Just let them both sit and have little snacks and Ensures available during it, no need for elder abuse.
It's pretty disheartening that there's apparently no one in either party within the span of decades of eligible age they can put forward as leaders.
The nosedive of democracy in action.
There are leaders available. You have to help find them. Right now you're just sitting there, having tried nothing, and you're all out of ideas.
Oh man, you're right. I totally forgot I run the political parties. My bad.
That doesn't prevent you from volunteering for or donating to small candidates. Do you think Obama was the establishment favorite over Hillary Clinton in 2008?
If you want to make snarky comments instead of doing anything, that's up to you.
What do you volunteer for?
You're the one worried about "democracy nosediving". I'm just telling you that you can do something about it. Your response is "no u".
I can see why you're frustrated. You've tried nothing and you're all out of ideas.
I don't know how you managed it, but you sound as ignorant and opinionated as a presidential candidtate. I'm confident you arent (if you are a real person) only because you're on Lemmy
Edit: ohhhhh. I get it now. You're a nihilist and like to prove people wrong.
