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!

I said I would choose the blue team if I had to choose. I don't do the whole thing where I avoid magic phrases. I just speak my mind. If you are being honest, would you say that you find Biden, in his current state, to be an inspirational leader?
He was probably about my fifth choice in the 2020 primaries, but I also realize he was never going to get primaried as the incumbent.
I've also seen enough people on here trying to argue dumb ass things like trump being better for Palestine that when someone shows up in an article about Trump's mental decline saying "hey everyone, Biden sucks too" for no particular reason, I get a little suspicious about their motivations.
Edit: wrong year
Anyone who thinks the red team is more pro-palestine than the blue team just hasn't paid any attention to us politics before. The red team is inherently anti-darkskin, especially when they are going up against "god's chosen ones."
It is absolutely perfectly reasonable to complain that there are no options that are likely to not have dementia. That's a valid complaint that rational people can make. I always just assume that people who get so upset about that complaint have just been scared and pressured out of being able to share honest observations because they think it means they are some sort of traitor. Instead, they put on performance about how delicious the taste of puke-on-rye is.
You do have to choose a side when you vote...
