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!

Biden won't do anything useful.
He's had 4 years to be useful and he decided early he'd rather drool than, oh, codify roe v wade or set up protections against fascist rule
How does Biden codify Roe V Wade? He can't sign a bill into law because there is no bill to sign. That starts in the Republican controlled house.
It wasn't republican-controlled for the first two years Democrats squandered.
To be fair he’s done a lot of great things. Definitely dropped the ball on a bunch of stuff, but it’s not fair to say he’s just been drooling all this time.
Honey, no...
We don't have to do this "respect the man, he worked hard" routine. That doesn't help anyone. The dude failed to protect the most vulnerable or safeguard the country from Nazi elements within while also propping up genocidal regimes and he never did close those "kids in cages" camps that the media stopped talking about Jan 20, 2021.
We agree that he failed to achieve much that he (ideally) should have. It’s easy to sit at our computers and type out a bunch of ambitions for Biden, but never having been president myself, I’m not really in a position to dish out hard-nosed criticisms of the man. Everyone is forced to work within certain frameworks that are usually invisible or poorly communicated to the world at large. Every democrat is forced to pick up and duct tape the pieces of rubble blown up by the previous republican president. All I said was that he did do many good things, and I stand by that.
