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!

OP, thank you for always giving us your hard-hitting, journalistic best. /s

Americans: In case you weren't aware, Joe Biden has always been a "gaffe machine" over his lifetime and throughout his entire career. He's even admitted, “I am a gaffe machine, but my God what a wonderful thing compared to a guy who can’t tell the truth.”

He said, “I’m ready to litigate all those things, the question is what kind of nation are we becoming? What are we going to do? Who are we?” OP, I implore you to ask these questions of yourself.

When asked "Why him?" Biden stated, “Whether or not I run, whoever runs, I’m going to break my neck to make sure they win,” he said. “We can’t have four more years.”

He's doing what he committed to do. In my mind, he's infinitely better than the alternative and will continue to be no matter how many hit pieces OP posts. Why don't you exercise your "journalistic" muscles by reporting on actual issues and real governance instead of lame verbal gaffes that have been with Biden since well before he was elected president?

I mean.. did he ever know it?

[–] verdantbanana@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

has everyone forgot what Biden accomplished as a politician or Harris?

does it any of that and their current policies align with the voters?

and Republicans definitely should be asked the same questions

if laws and policies that align with religion and over policing and less human rights is what the goal is then hey lets vote Biden or Trump
