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!

Blaming Biden when Americans failed the vote is a strange take. It is not Biden's fault Americans voted Trump over Harris- adults are responsible for their own choices so why not American voters? Do you expect him to act like Trump did on January 6 and initiate an insurrection?
I'm blaming the entire apparatus for not clamping down on corporate playgrounds dealing Russian misinformation. I'm blaming Dems for believing the fallacy you can't be progressive in America and caring for donors more than votes. I'm blaming institutions that allowed the systemic dismantling of education that replaces civilian choice with ideological dogma. And most of all, I'm blaming the human race for spiraling down the same toilet bowl we always do when corporations think unions are a little too popular. This entire mess is just a chain of clown shows insisting they hold true wisdom.
Its Biden’s fault for being an establishment pick, and doing nothing for his time in. And wile that’s not fully true, he did not promote progressive ideals. In some cases he chose the opposite of progressive policies. Then Harris got the nomination, promised more of the same. So i understand why people didn’t bother voting. I have been vocal about absolutely hating the democrats for what they were doing, but i still voted for Harris, because … i am in harm prevention mode.
Yeah, I am so fucking disappointed in the results, I did everything I could, and that baboon still won.
I also at first wished Biden would do something, but I don't see how that could be accomplished without resulting in civil war.
I mean unless there was some kind of fraud he actually even got a popular vote.
Where IMO Biden dropped the ball was:
[...]
Yeah, WTF was up with that‽ It almost feels intentional that he was allowed to get away with everything.
It was, they wanted to run against him again.
