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 has done so much good and helped get this country back into a sane space in an insane time full of outright lies and misinformation. It is admirable but he is losing this race in the media and his policy of feeding the machine in the Middle East is eroding his base and alienating his minority voters. You can ignore it and you can make excuses but it is not going away. I can understand people wanting him to step aside and the party nominate someone else. The problem is the party has no one else that can garner the support needed to beat Trump. The right does not care, they don't have a problem with a rapist con artist leading their party. Trump has said everything he is going to do and the party is numb to outright illegal behavior. Maybe this awakens the left voters who historically don't vote...I hope it works, I will vote for Biden because I can't in good conscience vote for the right and their current agenda.
Anyway, that's my take...but what do I know, I'm just some peckerwood from south Texas.
The problem isn't if voters are voting for Biden or Trump, it's if the voters will get off the couch to even vote.
I can agree with that for sure.
