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!

Got it, Republicans are bad. Tucker is evil. Christofascism is rising. Vote Democrat. Nothing fundamentally will change.

I mean it'll get worse if you keep voting Republican. I'd rather the status quo than worse. Maybe don't put down enthusiasm of others.
That was not my intention. I’m challenging voters to ask for more from the Democrats. If we don’t ask for more, we’ll never get it.
Bullshit dude, you're concern trolling on behalf of the fash.
Thank you. Call this shit out for what it is every time.
And that's why instead of spending today making posts or linking articles or conversing in anything about democrat policy, you have replied all day to republican posts by bringing up things that you think democrats should do, that republicans aren't doing either.
No, it is entirely your intention.
This is literally not the first thread i've seen today where you've been shifting the conversation to democrats when it's talking about republicans.
Either make your own topics discussing what you'd like from democrats, or stop shifting the conversation under the guise of asking for more.
Yep. Not a guise though. I’m begging Democratic voters to ask for more. Is that not okay?
Given you somehow ignored everything else I said in order to say that
No. It's not okay. You don't get to ask for that. Not when you're only asking it in bad faith.
yet you were able to sign up for an account and can make comments...
riiiight....
no one cares. youre not important.
Literally everybody asks for more from the democrats. Who the fuck is excited about Joe Biden? Nobody, it’s just that the alternative is such complete shit and voting third party helps the poop
Biden has consistently refused to recognize the metastatic cancer that has eaten the Republican Party from the inside out. He still cherishes the dream of bipartisanship and hearkens back to the good old days of hammering out compromises on the Senate floor. Of course he’s going to downplay the difference between the parties.
That doesn’t mean go vote for fucking cancer.
You linked an article where you just read the headline. You didn't read the article apparently where if you did you would have seen this:
'Biden said that poverty was “the one thing that can bring this country down” and listed several new programs to help the poor that he would fund if elected.'
So that could change, for the better, the standard of living of the poor negating your headline only argument.
Additionally, the president prior, Trump instituted substantial permanent tax cuts on the rich with temporary tax cuts on the poor and middle class. The temporary tax cuts for poor and middle class expire in 2025. The rich keep their tax cuts after that date. So even with the worst possible reading of that headline, its still preferable to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
After reading the article a second time, I found a part you forgot to quote:
Biden went on to say that the rich should not be blamed for income inequality, pleading to the donors, “I need you very badly.”
