Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Okay, so then he won't do the thing you want. End of story.

Right, so he won’t do anything to actually address the problem, only kick it down the road.

Glad you’re fine with not attempting to fix hunger.

No one seems to get it do they? Or they're all down voting us because "Biden good no matter what!"

They really think 1.8b for however millions of people hungry will last long, and will provide them with unlimited food for life, lol.

It's nice that people have such naive views of how to fix things, but it's not realistic.

As I said, this is just for pr before the elections.

“Biden good no matter what!”

For those in the audience, this is an excellent tell. Only right wingers think in this manner. They exclusively think in this manner. So if someone accuses you of thinking "Biden good no matter what" it's a pretty good clue that they're a troll, because they've shown you a glimpse of how their mind works and it's working Republican.

Yeah, at least it’ll be the same as last election where the day afterwards people will go back to actually being critical of Biden again.

Can’t even hold him accountable during the primaries for these fanatics.
