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!

As a non american I also don't understand. So much good they did. And the R's have so much bad stuff to their name.. it should be hammer time... drive these points home.
The thing you're missing is that left-leaning Americans have a hard time believing lip service like this because we've seen the Democrats fail to deliver on big promises over and over and over. Or they'll do some crappy watered-down version of what they promised and use that as an excuse not to do anything else on the issue for decades (health care is in this category, minor changes in the right direction in 2010, and it wasn't even until 2020 that the Democrats would admit maybe everything wasn't solved yet).
I'm gonna vote for Biden despite the fact that I do not believe he should be president, but I fully don't believe a word of this. The Democrats have played this type of card right before every election, and it always ends in disappointment.
Oh, no.. that part I fully understand. Beiing dissapointed by your politicians is the norm unfortunately.
I was more referring to the weak sauce messaging of the Dems.
And again, the watered down versions... Yeah... Trust me, I can relate.
That's also something I absolutely do not understand...yes, being disappointed is pretty normal in a democracy, it's always a compromise. But not hammering down the facts what Democrats did this period to actually help every American is just Mind boggling.
Especially 6 Months before an election, here in Germany you can't stop any politician yapping away with what they have done. (Although, positive or negative always depends on one self...)
