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.

What do you think now? The writing was on the wall three weeks ago.
That I was right, democrats all got taken in by conservative bullying and threw away their best chance at winning the presidency with the incumbent president who already beat trrmp and gained allies and voters through progressive legislation.
...which conservatives? They were political commentators, Democrats and their funders. Biden is/was not going to win.
He certainly won't now.
I asked which conservatives (had a meaningful impact on Biden stepping down).
Your statement was not sensible in the first place, and is evermore silly now.
The Democratic Party put pressure on him to stand down because he was not going to win; only his pollster said he had a chance, no others did.
He was never going to.
They were.
You're having trouble understanding simple statements.
Don't put that on me.
You can be confused about what you're saying, but it doesn't mean that you're incorrect assumptions are correct.
Biden easily could have won.
His supporters were afraid he wouldn't, listened to tired conservative propaganda from four years ago, and circled around the baseless, cynical take that a candidate who already beat Trump and has gained lots of allies during his first term because of his progressive legislation couldn't win twice.
It's a foolish sentiment, but it's much easier to tear someone down than stand by your convictions.
That's what you're doing here.
I'll find someone to slow clap for you.
Feel free to point out which statements.
Again, which conservatives, and why did they have an influence?
The Democrats are applauding him for stepping down.
Sticking by what you're saying when it's clearly wrong is not standing by your convictions, is folly. It's digging a hole and putting your head it in so far that you ignore reality.
Your attempt at performative comments (to... no one but me) don't look smart.
And sticking by my correct statements, despite the bandwagon patting themselves on the back for being duped is not folly.
You're close but woooosh
You're right, everyone else is wrong, including Biden who said it was the right decision.
Not everyone, and not what you're taking about, and not in that context, but I appreciate your enthusiasm.
