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!

You'd better believe I'll turn out. I don't care if Biden is sometimes a disaster, I vote D to protect my LGBT friends. Accelerationism only hurts people
"Studies show that poor kids are just as capable of succeeding academically as white kids."
A gaffer gaffing vs a sexual predator gleefully admitting on tape he commits sexual assault and steals secret documents
So racism is ok as long as it doesn't effect you? Next you'll tell me it's not ok but then you'll double down anyways, happens every time
You gonna use racism to push towards republican viewpoints?
What you should have said was nothing.
I'm black so that's even more racist and exactly what I'm talking about and why Democrats are going to lose. Just stop being racist
I'm not sure this meets the definition of racism. It's not polite to admit that on average, Black families in the US have less wealth than white families, (and he didn't mean to) but it's absolutely true. It's not a racist belief he holds.
The discrepancy is shockingly huge due to policies that have prevented opportunities for accruing generational wealth. The exclusion of Black WWII solders from the benefits of the GI bill, redlining, legalized cement ceilings, Jim Crow, and enslavement.

If racism is the only factor here then Biden is an angel compared to Trump.
So I'm not sure what you're getting at unless you're just trying to be contrarian?
Ironic considering your font is peak Nazi
Sure, hey have you seen some of the shit spewing forth from Trumps oral orface?
You aren't shocking anybody by pointing out an 80 year old is a tad bit racist.
But you are actively being a liar if your point is that Biden's level of racism is anywhere near the Republican party.
