Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

If it were sanctioned by the league of women voters I'd be happy, otherwise not really worth it

At public hearing of Hunter Biden. Get it all over with. Let the man speak.

Haven't we heard this before like 20 times... And he never follows through.

Yeah, I read the headline and immediately thought, "Huh, looks like there won't be any debates this cycle." The more strongly he claims something, the less likely he's telling the truth. That strong of a statement makes me think he has no intention of participating in a debate.

Lol. People are betting on Obama to win? People are idiots.

It doesn't matter what these polls show. Georgia has two progressive Democratic Senators and this shows Trump leading by 6% there! That's obviously wrong. Nevada is not going to vote for Trump by 8%. They voted for Biden by 2%! It wasn't even close.

Polls mean nothing now because there's no reason for Biden voters to answer that phone call. Trump voters want to shout "Trump!" to anyone who'll listen. Biden voters don't need to be heard because their ego isn't wrapped up in their choice.

It's true Biden is down in "approval ratings", but that doesn't mean those people are voting for a Republican. A large part of them probably want a progressive instead. Biden can lose the "approval" popularity contest and still win the election, because the other choice is so bad.

Just not in a CPD-moderated forum.
