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

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!

When he said in the primary that he should be president since he's the only one with the experience working with republican politicians and could get them to vote with the Dem party to help Americans...
I didn't believe him, but I didn't think memes would be his strategy.
So far he's proven that you can't work with them, and that his experience doesn't make a difference to that fact.
I figured Obama proved this definitively.
But you see, Obama is black, and we already knew Republicans wouldn't work with a black man. But Biden is white, so he proves they're not just racist, they're obstructionist assholes as well.
Ehh... true
Yeah the statements like that made me really hate that he was winning the primary. Standing next to obama should have taught him... if you do everything they ask, strip 80% of the good things out of the bill, throw in a few favors to the republicans corporate donors. You will still get 0 republican votes, and if you somehow are able to pass it you will still be called a dictator unwilling to work with them.
In short the lesson is, dont' try to work with them.
Memes are the only thing that works for them
Oh, I missed where it was working...
Last I hear Biden's senate experience couldn't even get the Dem senators to vote with the Dem party.
When's the last time this worked? I'd love to read up on it.
You're talking about the "democratic" traitors who are actually turncoats controlled by the republican fascists and their dirty money.
Wow, crazy Biden didn't know that when he was saying winning the Georgia runoffs was enough to pass the party platform...
He's the senate whisper, so there must not have been any signs just a regular joe citizen could have seen this coming.
Still pissed that Manchin played you so hard with the IRA? Rofl cope more, Biden is three steps ahead of you and he's pretty slow so what does that say about you??
He played me...
By me (and most voters) knowing he wouldn't support the party platform?
Not Biden and party leadership, who spent over a month saying 50 D senators (including Manchin) could pass the party platform?
That just doesn't make any logical sense bud.
But what do you expect from someone unironically telling people to "cope"?
They did pass the IRA. I know you don't want to hear it, but you have to wake up some time.
