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!

He's also recently announced that he's undergoing chemotherapy for esophagus cancer, which has a very low survival rate. It's bad enough that the DNC will only allow corrupt geriatrics to hold the levers of power, but could they at least have found one that wasn't actively dying?

We can thank Nancy Pelosi and her boomer wisdom for this.
The fewer boomers in Congress, the better.
At this point, I’d say on planet earth.
This is coming from someone dealing with their boomer parents right now.
Is she even a boomer or silent generation? Not sure about her exact age but I think Hitler was winning the war when she was born.
Boomer is a state of mind.
Eat my ass Nancy Pelosi
I hope she trips again, and this time, never gets up again.
It should be illegal to own stocks as a Senator.
Honestly, at this point we just need to dissolve the US in its entirety. I no longer believe it can be saved. We need to grant all 50 states full independence. They can then come back together and form whatever new nation or nations they want. The existing union is broken beyond all repair. It can no longer be salvaged.
I like where your head is at, but that's a terrible idea that will just lead to all the Red States going full jihad on "others"
Biden could premptively pardon every American for choosing to secede if they want to and we can just end it now with no repercussions or violence.
A bit dramatic there.
Why should the Nazi fucks in Texas drag down people trying to live their lives in California or NY?

Shame she wasn’t at home with her husband.
So, they meet the qualifications. Got it.
Dems do insider trading, Reps do rape. Nice people.
And both of them fuck you over and over.

So an unsurprising pick for the "good" party.
On top of being 74 and one month fresh off a throat cancer diagnosis...
Edit:
He announced it the day after he won the election, it would be a huge coincidence if that's the day he received, he more likely just his it from voters...
Fucking hope motherfucker dies screaming. The Democratic Party is done.
You couldn't write this and have someone think it was realistic.
What the actual fuck DNC? Pelosi? Corrupt pieces of shit just protecting themselves
Being in the senate and congress will become increasingly a status symbol and effective tool for getting health care for oneself and one's family. Otherwise it will be about as useful as it was during the slow slide from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. But being America it will happen much faster.
I have an idea:
- get people who desperately need health insurance together
- elect one of them for Congress
- they perform the minimum amount of days needed to get health insurance for life
- resign
- Governor sets special election
- next person runs for office
- repeat until everyone has insurance
They've really streamlined the process.
Well, that's why he's qualified.
Why do you think he was Pelosi’s pick? lmao, that evil greedy power hungry bitch
