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!

I saw Joe mix names up when he was a Senator. That's not old age, that's just just Joe.
Personally I'd take Joe, old age and all, over Trump.
So he's never been competent. That doesn't surprise me but it's still not a reason to vote for him.
So would I, but that's not the point.
On a scale from 1-100 where 100 is the perfect president and 25 is the minimum to be qualified, Trump is at a 3 and Biden is a 9.
It doesn't matter that he's still several times better than the fascist when he no longer has the cognitive capabilities required to do the job.
I don't know about your little scale. Biden has signed as much meaningful legislation as FDR, who was one of our best presidents.
I guess they weren't in cartoon form. No wonder why that doesn't matter to you.
So you have no idea what you're talking about then. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for the audience.
Okay give examples of how things have declined. Give specific examples of ways he has gotten worse.
His past four years as President have proven he can do a very good job, despite the verbal gaffes that he's been criticized for over his entire career. Making speaking mistakes has been a well-known and well-criticized trait of his since long before I voted for him, or even before I voted for him on Obama's ticket.
His performance as President alone should be enough to reelect him. In all honesty, I want more of what we got in the last four years. And he's shown no signs of deterioration, we've just gotten more media coverage pretending that his gaffes are new.
I'm okay with his admin doing a Weekend At Biden's throughout his term if they have to....IF he wins. It definitely DOES matter. The alternative will be very, very bad.
That being said, I wish he'd step aside and let someone else run.
