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!

Useless? Why? Because they are choosing party unity to prevent the country falling into the hands of a fascist criminal?
Give me a break. I don't like Biden one bit, but NO ONE was going to dethrone him in a primary, so it's better that they go into this with a united front.
i mean sure, but that doesn't mean it's not depressing that BIDEN is the most progressive we're allowed to be until january 2029
1000% agree.
Depressing.
But necessary.
Biden is the most progressive we're ever gonna have until something is done about Congress (specifically the Senate) and House representation re: the Apportionment act and gerrymandering.
As long as it still takes Dems 60%+ of the vote to get a bare majority in Congress, it's not going to get any better.
Useless is useless. Only reason we were for him was to fight against the blues to push for real change.
Instead he gives in to the DNS/Biden/Obama democrats and demolishes the grassroots movement many of us put a lot of time to help build.
He is now just another politician pushing for the lesser of two evils spiel.
Do you think anyone is fooled by this little act you're doing?
Guy is all up and down the thread spouting the same crap points.
