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!

This is stupid. Don't throw down an ultimatum you're unprepared to act on. Are they really going to risk a Trump reelection if Biden doesn't follow through? Almost certainly not, and they'd be idiots if they did.
I mean yes. Young voters being disappointed with the electoral process and not voting has been a problem for a while, and Biden isn't making it better. Unfortunately yes, they are likely prepared to act on it.
Then in that case, they're idiots, and bear a share of the blame if Trump is reelected.
Biden bears the blame if he LOSES the election to trump. He’s the one running. Its his responsibility to EARN the votes. A ceasefire of an ongoing genocide is a tiny ask from “the most progressive president ever” who also is causing millions of deaths in the US from pretending the pandemic is over, making jokes about not wearing masks, and doing nothing to enforce clean air in schools, businesses, etc.
It’s insane people are more angry at the threat of not voting for biden if he doesn’t do the bare minimum of calling for a ceasefire than being mad at biden for funding a genocide by an apartheid state using.
Yeah true enough, but what I'm saying it's not an empty threat. Some of these much-needed voters will sit out the election if nothing is done about this mess.
That blame cuts both ways. Biden neglecting the progressive leaders if the party is his own undoing. The right is happy to sink centrists, and thats why the US is drifting so far right.
