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!

Yes... You've clearly been sleeping the past two years... He was rejected by voters over his unwavering genocide support, he and KH and the Democratic party are 100% to blame for Trump, and they did nothing of value to stop him after he already tried to overthrow the government FOUR YEARS EARLIER.

Stay pacified, stay in the cult.

No the people are to blame for trump not anybody else. Just the American people.

Except for the whole rigging the election thing Trump bragged about several times on air.

Lmao you’re reaching quite a bit on my own opinions here.

Once again, in no way am I defending Biden. There are just way more people I’d put above him for this mess.

There are people that were nastier, but name one other person that's responsible for more death...

How about Trump? Or Netanyahu for that matter since it was abundantly clear he was not going to work with the Biden administration once Trump was welcomed back? Or any of the republican politicians who, for years, have said things behind Trumps back only to cower in support of him and continue to support him and Israel (since you want to keep focusing on that issue alone it seems) despite what is clearly happening there?

Again, the mainstream Democratic party/Biden/whoever certainly bears a level of responsibility for where we are. But most responsible? Nah. It’s clear they aren’t in sync with what the grassroots of their party and frankly the US wants but this is the kinda Whataboutism that is helping to normalize what the GOP is doing to the country.
