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

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!

Imagine thinking that giving a bad speech is somehow comparable to being a rapist/felon that has promise to help Israel finish the job- even while you yell at everyone about how Biden is committing “a genocide.”
This is what propaganda looks like folks. It’s not stupid cartoonish posters. It’s not tinny radio ads urging you to join someone’s army-
It’s people like this…
People that want you to believe that a bad speech performed by someone that has a history of being bad at speeches- yet ran the country for four years with a lot of major changes for the better- is somehow worse than a rapist that tried to overthrow our capital because he lost. A rapist that is also a convicted felon- 34 times over.
THIS is propaganda by definition. It’s no myth. It’s no exaggeration. It’s this.
And it’s pathetic.
I have to ask: are you just ignorant of the position of the anti -Biden crowd, or are you intentionally misconstruing it as them preferring Trump over Biden?
I don’t answer questions from people who can’t answer my own. That’s not how this is going to work. You give nothing, you get nothing.
Show your work.
You didn't ask a question.
Apologies, I wasn’t paying attention and was in a discussion with a troll. Thought this was their response.
To answer your question, I know there are some that genuinely don’t think he would do well for America at this point. And to them, I would somewhat agree. I’ve seen some well constructed arguments from the far left that in some ways, I completely agree.
However. These people I call out….
They are not those people. There demonstrably here in bad faith to disrupt our election, and the person I was discussing this with admitted they are here to urge people to not vote.
This is NOT how change is achieved. Especially in the eleventh hour. So many people wait until the last minute to decide to give a shit. And I guarantee you that most of these clowns didn’t give a rats-ass about nothing going on until a last October.
I don't think the comment you replied to justifies the level of scrutiny you're putting it under.
Polling post-debate more or less justifies what it says.
The person I responded to admitted to being here to disrupt an election. Their points are off the table.
