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.

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.

If we could stop funding a genocide on Gaza, that'd be a step in the right direction as well.
It's crazy how people are acting like we're the problem for not wanting to vote for either genocidal candidate. Just find someone better and I'll vote for them, DNC. Unless you can't.
Or Biden could just stop supporting Netanyahu's genocide.
But then he would have to be against it.
I bet his polling might jump double digits in swing states.
Well you have a binary choice. Trump or Biden. Both will fund genocide.
Fully aware. Still voting against the neonazis on the right.
But this system is fucked.
Same here. Not voting for the rapist grifter worship club.
They should just read the project 2025 agenda points live on air nonstop.
Too busy trying to court centrist voters and uphold a dying status quo
Yeah except Biden is the current president, Trump is not. By the time of next election, genocide will probably be over and Gaza permanently annexed.
It would be way more effective to pressure Biden now then to decide this on the election which won't matter by then.
That is a fucking lie, and all it does is justify Bidens egotistical clinging to power.
Stop drinking the cool aid. It’s what led to the first trump presidency. It will lead to the second, too.
Remember: Trump being awful is an argument to not vote for Trump. Biden needs to also make the argument that we should vote for him. as it stands there a lot of other people who are Not-Trump.
And, supporting genocide is a pretty fucking massive reason to look elsewhere.
How is that a lie? Biden and Trump will be the candidates, no? So that gives you 2 choices..
Or you could not vote, or you could vote for literally anyone else.
Sure, the consequences of such are probaby that Trump wins- but there is still possibility there and there are people dumb enough to try and make that point.
Nah if Trump was in office in the last four months there'd be open conflict across the Middle East with thousands of US troops bound for Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, etc
Trump withdrew from the Middle east. Biden launched more attacks.
What are you even talking about?
Trump literally assassinated a top Iranian General in Baghdad.
Biden pulled US troops out of Afghanistan. Something the US has been wanting to do since Obama.
Not a big history guy, I take it?
