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've said it before, and I'll say it again. How squeaky clean must the guy be if the worst thing you can say about him is "oMg hE'S tOo oLD to PLay vIDEo gAMeS!!1"
Absolutely solid VP pick
Plenty of 60-year-olds play games. They were in their 20's and 30's as gaming matured. The N64 and PS1 target audience was people who are now in their 50's and 60's.
That's me!
Well, some of us were already into the PC master race direction and didn't fall for the consoles. :D
I thought Tim Walz's stream was fun. But I would, being 56 and OLD.
My neighbor was in his 40s and taught me how to play DOOM back in the 90s. If he hadn't died of lung cancer he'd be in his 70s now. Like, one of my family's best memories is playing Rock Band one Christmas, three generations of us all hanging out and taking turns. Games are for everyone.
My dude....video games have existed for half a century now... he was probably playing plenty of Atari in his youth. OMG do you actually think kids and teens are the only ones playing them in 2024? Have you been living under a rock since the 90s?
there are people that have never played video games in their lives. The ones I met also don't see how watching netflix all day or just being glued to the phone are exactly the same when you simplify it. Bright panel of pixels that trick you into feeling emotions. Method of entertainment alone or with friends.
Is it still the 90's under this rock? Can i move there? I miss Saturday morning cartoons and walking straight onto an airplane.
That's the best you got? The other VP candidate wants women to be slaves to their rape babies, but Walz is "too old" for video games?
You're a fucking farce.
Oh, my mistake.
Now I understand how your point is valid and the two are totally comparable.
Dude, he was 35 when the Dreamcast came out in North America. Hardly a "fellow kids" situation.
Dude...He fucking signed into law that fed kids.
If anything, he's earned it.
I'm 55 and really like my Steam Deck
I hope you have the most boring elderly years - filled with procedural crime dramas and dry toast with cottage cheese. And absolutely no thinking about anything remotely fun!
Hey cottage cheese on toast is great, that's my breakfast most days. With pepper and nutritional yeast usually.
aahhh, yeast. The thing I miss most, with fresh olives
Hey look a dipshyt in the wild!
Can you not make a fool of yourself for five minutes, colonialist? Sheesh!
Through the magic of blocking, yes.
Blocking trolls and infiltrators just helps them
Agree and disagree. Regular ol' run-of-the-mill trolls? Block.
Propagandists pushing an agenda? Fight tooth and nail. That shit only works if it goes unanswered.
It hurt itself in it's confusion
I'm thinking no.
Yeah, it's probably wishful thinking knowing them.
Well obviously when you put it right against liar, fraud, rapist, convicted felon, it sounds tame... but who knows ! 5 days left to discover he uses emacs ! or worse, Windows ! imagine the scandal
