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!

To the people who are calling Biden "toast" three minutes into the debate: Fuck off.
First impressions matter. Most people won't watch the debate. Of the people that do, most people won't watch all of it. He isn't doing a good job.
It sounds like trump won. And that is enough sadly. Its over for the country.
Yup checkmate. America was a good experiemnt while it lasted.
Trump is literally insulting him to his face and all he can do is look old and stupid. Fuck this.
Coming up next: 40 years of dystopian Fascism. This is going to suck so much for people still in their 20's. My advice is to start organizing the Resistance RIGHT NOW. I am absolutely stunned to see the most successful country in the world completely collapse in a single day.
Not in a single day by a long shot - this has been decades in the making.
It was bad.
He's given one bad answer. His first answer and responses were good. A sore throat isn't a reason to declare his candidacy over.
I tapped out 10 minutes into it. I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one. And let me tell you, those first 10 minutes looked BAD
I've since learned that Biden warmed up after that first ten minutes, so I went back and watched some of it, and it's true. His performance was never great, but he did ok and got in a few solid hits.
I think he's old, he's tired, the format sucked, and he's not my first choice... But I'll still vote for him over the orange felon.
