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!

Do you just scour the internet searching for whatever you can find that is critical of Biden and post it here?
I agree with the other posters. Nothing about this article is critical of Biden (or Trump for that matter).
Unless of course you think that acknowledging that some people don’t like either candidate is an anti Biden opinion… seems like a logical leap; this article is very dry.
People are allowed to be biased, anyway, this is just an internet community. Nobody here is claiming to be an objective journalist or something.
Look at OP’s post history.
OP is a mod on NEWS. Or he had mod powers. He deleted my comment that was essentially critical of Hamas. How did this agent get Mod status on such a popular server??
That or he reported you to a mod that agrees with him. Either way, there’s tons of biased mods on lemmy. Even in this community there’s a huge bias amongst mods.
Which is disappointing. I thought this place would be different that Reddit, but no. It’s just the same thing only with less nuance to the hive.
It appears to be a race to see which piece of shit can create the more popular server.
If liberals used the same energy holding Biden accountable that they have used for punching left at people trying to hold him accountable, things would be a lot better than they currently are. Instead, liberals have spent decades shielding their shitty politicians from criticism, which is how we got people like Biden and Trump
It so much easier to get pissed off at things that you can make up than it is to do the work required to see things as they actually are, isn’t it?
The cognitive dissonance you’re using here is the exact same as what my generation used when we were your age and pissed off about everyone and everything.
And for the record, no one is shielding anyone from anything. Politicians absolutely should be held accountable for their misdeeds. However, when some kid is posting nothing but slanderous articles that attack only one side, don’t get bent out of shape when their obvious agenda is called out for what it is.
The only work that will succeed is getting rid of the DNC or the RNC. Politics only has room for 1 right wing party.
And what do you suspect is my age?
Congratulations, you fell for the propaganda.
It’s a poll. Mentioning that these people exist is hardly propaganda. They exist. It’s hard to strategize how to reach voters who don’t agree with you if you bury your head in the sand.
You mean polls where one outlet says one thing while another outlet says another on the exact same issue within hours of "reporting." Yeah, good luck with that.
It’s a poll ran by a university. Nate Silver found this institution reliable
Sometimes polls say different things. That’s why you do more than one. Sampling different populations in different ways gives different results. There isn’t anything nefarious happening here.
Again, good luck with that champ.
What's wrong with criticism of Joe?
When it’s nothing but, and it’s coming from the same person over and over- it’s a clear agenda.
Do you follow op around just to harass them? If you had read the article (or even the whole title) youd see this article doesn't focus on Biden, or any candidate at all.
I follow the community, and OP posts this type of rhetoric VERY frequently here. I will call it out for what it is.
Is that going to be a problem for you?
I didn't ask you that question, i made a rhetorial statement to illustrate the low worth of your comment.
And now im telling you yes, your comment is a problem for me because i like content. you are bullying a content creator, and you don't. read. articles.
You are content i do not like. I would block you because of your shameless, stupid behavior, but i can't. Youre bullying a content creator, which means leaving you alone could mean i get less.
Dont you dare speak pridefully for your behavior. You don't deserve pride for that, or anger for this. If we lived in a better world, or were you a better person? You might actually learn some shame.
What you do need now is to recognize what a child you've been, and rectify it going forward.
Begin your growth. Everyone is waiting.
Bias absolutely should be called out. And defending bad content because it’s content is pretty fucking ignorant. Reddit provides content. Do you get pissed off when people call Reddit out for what it is?
In addition- hypocrisy should be called out as well. And you bullying about me calling out OP over the propaganda they share is a pretty damn good example of it.
Lastly, I take great pride in the fact that I have educated myself enough understand how nuance works. It’s allowed me to spot things like the bias in OP’s post history….. among other things.
Now, you’re free to respond with another Karenistic tirade about what I do and don’t have the right to say, but it won’t change the fact that I am MANY others here know what OP is up to.
And we point it out because we actually care about the quality of the content, not just the amount of it.
I think you probably spent the whole time defending your actions as honorable, but i don't have the stomach for a whole paragraph of you rationalizing being a shithead to another human being. you probably rationalized that his message must be attacked for the greater good or something?
Homie, you. are. the. problem. I absolutely hate, like really hate people like you. You're the same online or off, and the only way you'll change is if someone stronger makes you. That is who you are. I want you to understand it. In your bones. You are not righteous. You are not helping. You are not neccessary.
Now let me express how things will work going forward.
I will continue to harp on you every time you do this childish, bullying exercise. I will do this for awhile. I don't suspect i can make you do anything, or change, but i can hope that having someone like me do the same thing to you, that you are doing to someone else, flips that rusty empathy switch in your brain, and allows clarity of thought.
Probably not, i will probably get bored first, stubborn people are extremely tiring to me.
Ill see you soon
Cool story. Didn’t read it. Going to block you now as I can’t stand wall-of-text rhetoric from socialists.
Byeeeee!
It's literally a Monmouth poll... Are those not allowed anymore?
That’s entirely irrelevant to my point. Your every post is always suspiciously critical of only ONE thing.
Yep and it's always the same old tired talking points.
It's wild, the people that said they would push Biden left, instead are punching left at people that are actually trying to hold him accountable. Trying to shield him from valid criticism, which is why we use the term BlueMAGA
This isn’t holding him accountable. This is essentially right-wing rhetoric. OP doesn’t even pretend to hide it.
Liberals see all valid criticism as right wing rhetoric.
Nope. We just know right wing rhetoric when we see it.
No you don't, can't understand propaganda when you hear it or see fascism when it's waving a blue flag
See… there’s the propaganda I’m talking about.
I’m going to go ahead and block you now because you’re just too fucking ignorant to discuss anything with.
Oh, Biden? Yes. I've said it multiple times he's a genocider and a Republican-lite corporate puppet.
If you only want to read pro-Biden articles and/or "Trump is a dumbass" (I agree) articles just read the sub frontpage.
Multiple times? You mean nearly every time. You’ve got a reputation here. And it’s not for what you think.
I know who I am. Whatever you think of me is on you, internet stranger.
We know who you are also. You’ve made it abundantly clear.
What an asinine comment. Republican-lite? Do you live in the same America I do? If Trump wins in November, the cute little protests you’ve been doing under Biden will be met with abduction and murder in the style of Putin. Plan on fighting back? Who owns Hong Kong? And someone like you wouldn’t fight with 10% of the courage and conviction of a Hong Kong native. You will lose and die.
The Biden administration may actually hear you out and you use that opportunity to shit in their ear and call them genociders and zionists. For your sake I hope you’re a white hetero male, because the future you’re ensuring for anyone else is gonna be bleak. Perhaps that’s your intention?
I’ll remember this when they throw your body on the fire for wearing a rainbow.
Biden is a far cry from being Republican light. He's always been to the right of Reagan, barely to the left of trump.
They only want echo chamber bias confirmation
Oh, the irony.
