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 had one really bad policy in his administration and arguably there are good reasons - just don't genocide does no justice to how complicated the situation there is to navigate. By comparison, I thought Obama had maybe a half-dozen things I starkly disagreed with him on.
Hate on the Gaza situation, sure. As black marks go, it's really dark, but I'm never going to agree with any president 100% of the time and Biden's record is way better than most in my book. Kamala has a solid record to run on.
The thing about Israel is that, even if you think Biden should've cut ties completely, what Biden did was still better than the Trump alternative that you'd get for doing anything other than voting for the Democrat.
I fully agree. Israel was impossible to navigate as an issue because Biden needed to show the rest of the world that the US still sticks by its allies... but those of us who knew Netanyahu knew this would get ugly fast.
And the crime bill - why the hell were REPUBLICANS attacking him for it? They loved it back then. It was a big mainstream 'success' back then.
So disgusting and insulting to attack him for something they love hoping to turn other voters away.
I only pointed out those examples because others cared about them. I've been around long enough to know what the anti-crime culture was like in the 80s. You remember the 80s, where crime-ridden NYC was a genre all its own?
