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!

Anyone with half a brain could see the project 2025 was coming. There was enough to declare an emergency and to have everyone put on trial for conspiracy to overthrow the government. You guys just want to act like falling over and playing dead is the only thing the "opposition" party can do.
You want to bring up some bullshit about how the laws prevented them from moving quickly or something? Throw those interfering in the investigation in jail and nullify their congressional voting rights.
But no, you're right, both sides are totally different, I'm just the crazy one for thinking we could have something better.
Biden still didn't cause anyone to decide a pedophile is the only option.
You can't change my mind on this.
Ever.
You are correct, but thats not what I'm arguing. So why didn't the biden administration act? Why didn't the DoJ do more with the mountains, hell Galaxy's worth of incriminating evidence they had? Why not jail every single Congress person who had obstructed? Why turn a blind eye to Jan 6?
Wake up. They arrested jan 6 insurrectionists under Biden
It's Trump who pardoned them once he got back into power.
Either way It's just sheer false equivalency to ever say any of this had anything to do with why voters choose a pedophile and why other potential voters stepped aside and let them. These assholes need to be held accountable for their actions to facilitate this to happen. So you can't blame Biden for that.
Why trump remained unjailed should be a separate discussion to the sheer callousness of voters voting for a pedophile
These are two entirely different discussions and merging then only disqualifies a deep problem that should be addressed on its own.
This is my problem with this being merged as one problem. It overlooks way too much of what happened here.
Funny how you don't even mention the Epstein files. You want red pedofiles or blue ones?
I don’t think he made people decide a pedophiles is the only option. I think he and the rest of the establishment democrats failed to give the people who didn’t want the pedophile something to vote for. Yes, people had plenty of reasons to vote against trump, but they didn’t have many reasons to vote for Biden or Harris. The reality is that giving people a reason to vote for you is what actually gets them out to the polls
Not voting someone isn’t a reason to vote for à fucking pedo. Never a good enough reason to vote à pedo. This is a shit argument by shit people for shit people.
