Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

You lost the primary.

There wasn't one. It was an utter sham and is one of the things people are frustrated about.

Quit your fucking bitching!

No. People are allowed to voice their frustrations with a geriatric who has proven he's as arrogant as trump. Until facism takes over America, it is literally a right for people to bitch about their leaders. And yes. Biden outright proved he's as arrogant as Trump when during an interview he answer the question "If you stay on and don't give the reigns to someone else and you lose the election to Donald Trump, how will you feel?" and Biden said he'd feel great as long as he did his best because that's what counts. Either he's lost his mind or he's an arrogant douchebag. It is not just appropriate but required to talk about how he is unfit for the job.

This is ridiculous.

Edit: I went and grabbed the exact quote I was thinking of that proves Biden is putting himself before the country.

G. Stephanopoulos - If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?

J. Biden - I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job I know I can do that's what this is about

NO THE FUCK IT ISN'T JOE.

This is about the future of DEMOCRACY. You just watched the Supreme Court appoint you a king and are like "Yeah but I gotta do the goodest job I know I can do" in a quote that sounds Trump-level failure on grasping the English language? Fuck off. Get the hell out of the way and let someone step in who knows what the fuck they're doing and is someone people can rally around.
