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!

I don't know that any amount of homeruns will help at this point. The barn door is open, the horses have bolted. A significant minority of his party has openly called for him to step down, and one of the most influential members all but asked him to drop out in a public statement. That's going to be a millstone around his neck going forward.
It will be, but if he can hold it together for one more month, then have a stellar performance at the convention, it will go a long way.
That man is supposed to hold the office for 4 more years, not one more month.
Dems were so fucking arrogant in 2016, they are doing the same thing again. They can't read the room 😕
The contingencies for a President dying in office are rigorously tested by time. A fascist takeover the likes of this has never happened in America. I'll take electing someone who might not make it the four years, or really whoever isn't the guy trying to turn this place into a christian version of the Taliban's Afghanistan.
Yes obviously even a dead guy is better than a fascist but the problem is getting the corpse back in the office.
No, the problem is preventing the fascist from getting into the office. Fuck the corpse, we'll Weekend at Bernie's it if we have to. Let's bring the focus back to the fascists. All this talk about replacement is just a blatant diversion from that.
“Live Biden > Dead Biden > Dead Trump > Live Trump”
