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!

Exactly this and why I keep trying to ring the alarm here but get called a Russian bot for pointing out obvious shortcomings of the Biden campaign.
many of those that have been derisively commenting on and downvoting your posts have their heads so far up the ass of the political machine, I am not sure they are ever going to see daylight.
I don't always agree with your position, but your commentary is 100% valid. the DNC has no right to the votes in my household and for decades they have only gotten them because, in this rigged 2 party system, they are the least worst option in a general election. we are demanding the fucking bare minimum from the Democratic party and its still like pulling teeth from an alligator. national ranked choice voting cant some fast enough.
Reminds me of Salem witch trials, where medicine women were sentenced to death for not being able to cure sick people and when they did try to help and people didn't listen, they were blamed for their prediction coming true.
It's just Boomer logic, if you tell them what they don't want to hear or don't understand, they get belligerent.
It's not just that it's a normal part of aging, it's that they were exposed to lots of leaded car exhaust and that effects the same part of our brain. The part that handles critical thinking.
Without that ability people just get angry when challenged. It's not unique to trumpers, it's everyone in that age group and it will keep getting worse as they keep getting older.
They're not capable of running shit anymore, but they're also not capable of realizing that.
TIL, boomers were around for the Salem Witch Trials.
