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!

Yeah, Biden sucks that fucking bad lmao. Wish we could get a functional third party in this country
I think Biden is doing pretty good.
Politically, I think Biden is doing a great job, tbh. He has accomplished a ton, especially in the first two years. I'm not a huge fan or anything, but I'd still vote for him again any day of the week, because the alternative is just not an option in my world.
I'd settle for a functional second party.
That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. There is plenty of legitimate criticism that could be levied against President Biden specifically, and the mainstream Democratic party more generally. However, this moment in time has shown me that President Biden was correct when he said, "Don't compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative". I voted for President Biden in 2020, and I will confidently vote for President Biden again in 2024.
People lost in the "but he's not my perfect candidate" rhetoric need to grow the fuck up. They are never going to get the candidate they want by pouting and throwing a tantrum. Meanwhile their childish response results in severe negatives - to them, the country and our future. I guess their pointless protest made them winners...idiots.
