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!

This is one thing I actually like about Biden: He sometimes says weird shit out loud that's not actually wrong, but isn't something that people in politics will ever say for obvious reasons.
E.g. the interview where he said we might have to get rid of Erdogan, or the thing of if you support Trump "you ain't black," or this. It is the honest version of "He tells it like it is!" that idiots say about Trump. He really does just open his mouth sometimes and some weird honest shit comes out. It's very unusual for a politician.
Sounds like you would have liked Nazi Germany. And I don’t mean that in a nice way.
The fact that the majority of your mouth breathing is removed...I'm sure you spend all your time with like minded people you call cousin and sister in the same breath.
Stop consuming so much media, makes you look very stupid.
How on earth did you grow up believing that people that look similar at all think similar? Did you grow up in a safety bubble? A padded room? Have you ever been outside once in your entire life? Did you climb out of a time machine from the 1600s? Lmfao.
edit: poster edited comment to sound sarcastic.
Prediction: I will look over your account's history, and within the first few pages I will see:
... and nothing else. You won't be concerned about Boeing, or Ticketmaster, or avian flu or climate change (except insofar as climate change can be directly connected to Biden).
Maybe I am wrong. This is just my prediction, based on you suddenly wanting to shoehorn Gaza into a topic that has nothing to do with it, and having no other thoughts on either Japan or Biden, the things that were previously being discussed that had nothing to do with Gaza.
(And, by the way, I think genocide is bad and Biden is bad for abetting it, if you're wondering.)
Brb, checking
Edit: Looks to me like I was more or less right. Also, "Nothing made me smile more than watching our boys in blue wreck those scumbag commies" is not a phrase that any human being in the history of the world has ever spoken in real life.
Did he make eye contact with you right after, and say, "Nothing personal, kid"?
I am sure there are plenty of people who support the police beating up protestors. I'm pretty confident that the number of them who talk to their friends about "our boys in blue" when they're not quoting a 1930s newsreel is in the single digits.
Calling you out for bad faith bullshit isn't sympathizing with fascists. You're not utilizing some novel discourse tactic. Either youre someone's useful idiot or you're well aware of what you're doing. Everyone would prefer if you just fucked off, but either way someone is going to continue calling you out and down voting bullshit into obscurity as much as possible.

(Not that upvotes are a good metric of who's right about things, but even within that framework...)
I call this one the "Chewbacca Defense" -- they seize on some logical leap that makes absolutely no sense (and for some reason this one often goes with expressing it really angrily, with insults). This one is a little hard to describe, but some examples are "I can't be a shill, I had an account on Reddit" or this comment.
He's not committed any. He and Congress have done too much to enable it. That is for sure. However our options currently are worse. I'm all for replacing them with something better. Get back to us with a solid plan. Something that won't result in a phyric defeat. Enabling far worse people, just to Virtue signal.
Why was this person's comment removed? it said "what about the genocide". Can we have some transparency? Why would that be taken down?
