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!

Maybe you need a better answer than that?
The emissions that would continue or escalate with Trump in office? He’s worse for everyone except rich white industrialists.
Trump repealed 112 environmental regulations in one term, undoing over a decade’s worth of progress.
Biden just reenacted gender discrimination law that Obama created and Trump subsequently repealed.
SCOTUS repealed Affirmative Action, overturned Roe vs. Wade, and left protest law up to the states due to the heavily conservative appointments made by Trump.
Trump’s tax cuts expired for the low and middle classes in 2022, but the larger tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations continue through 2024. Biden’s tax proposal begins in 2025, with cuts for the low and middle class, and heavily increased taxes on the wealthy and corporations.
Russia will succeed in their invasion of Ukraine if the US fails to provide support, which is Trump’s position.
Trump also said the Israel’s biggest problem is recording their atrocities, and they should just finish what they started in Gaza.
I could go all day, but you get the point. Abstain or vote third-party if you’re looking to invite this back into the White House.
Agreed, any of those are better answers than, "Welp, ya got me there."
Just trying to help out anyone else who can’t speak to the difference in the candidates.
Well that's the most frustrating part of the campaign. Biden is making all of the same mistakes Hillary did when it comes to motivating the base and young people. It's like watching your grandma try to check her email. What should be a simple thing turns into an exercise in patience, but if you try to help, she gets belligerent and acts like you can't possibly know anything she doesn't.
Biden is bad at articulating his message. That trickles down to his volunteers. There's never been a more important election in our lifetimes, and Biden is making unforced errors.
Look at a few of his actions compared to Trump’s, then tell me you still believe that.
Are you sure you've read and understood what I wrote? Because yes, I still believe it, because none of that refutes my point.
He would rather lecture than listen.
It's such a dumb simplification and false question, what's he supposed to do? Pull out charts demonstrating that unchecked hamas bombimg canmpaigns against Isreal would be less carbon friendly?
What the person is saying is I don't care about the environment or any other issue so I'm going to disrupt you talking about anything else
I'd love to see them locked in a room with the just stop oil protestors that pour oil on the road trying to cause accidents - battle of the delusional egomaniac single issue voters.
How about "We're not going to agree on every issue, or support everything that Biden does, because this isn't a cult. Biden is imperfect, and we need to speak loud so that he hears our concerns. But it won't matter at all if Biden loses the election. He won't be able to do anything about anything if Trump wins, and you can be damn sure that everything you care about will be worse if that happens.
So yes, we are all of us concerned about what Israel is doing in Gaza. And we are concerned about climate change. And we are concerned about equal rights, the rule of law, foreign interference, immigration, the economy, water, food, energy, and housing, and a vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for catastrophe."
