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!

As we all know, leftists never disagree with eachother.
On an unrelated note, have you seen any good deals on ice picks on Facebook marketplace?
my point isn't that leftists agree or disagree. my point is that whatever narrative a Leftist accepts exposes them to unpleasant truths. I don't know how else to be clearer. Either the executive office has direct immediate effects on the economy therefore we should be worried about Trump (but we must also admit that in the past Democratic policies are directly to blame for catastrophes like 2008), or the executive office doesn't have a direct economic impact therefore Biden is not to blame for the current state of affairs (but we must also admit that the current state of affairs has nothing to do with Trump). Anything else is cherry picking.
Pretty sure leftists fall in the former camp. They'll gladly throw Democrats under the bus, and to a leftist there is no difference between the DNC and GOP.
Granted, the take that it's not a binary is much more reasonable than the assumptions you are making at the top.
The American Left and the DNC have, like, a 90% overlap, you do realize that right?
Where in the immense caverns of your colon did you get that number?
The duodenum, actually.
Well at least you got your shit together.
