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.

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.

The issue here and the flaw in your reasoning is that you're defending Trump by saying "DeMs ArE BaD ToO". Trump doesn't deserve defending. Quit peddling the dems are bad too bullshit. No matter how much or little he's done in his term for the US or any other country, Biden is without a doubt a better choice than fascist, rapist, state secrets selling, man-baby Trump. We all know the two party system sucks. We all know dems aren't perfect. The point is anyone on the left is better than the scumbag known as Donald Trump, so drop the wannabe centrist bullshit.
I'm not defending Trump. That's where your entire argument falls down. I am bemoaning the lack of an alternative to Trump that would give the American people the choices that they deserve.
Biden isn't on the left he's in the centre. Bernie Sanders and AOC are centre left but they ain't running the show and never will be.
"I'm from the UK and your left isn't as left as our left!" No one cares. But I don't know what I expected. If you just want to die on this hill of extra chromosomes, be my guest. What a waste of time to debate with someone who argues symantics and isn't capable of reflecting on anything they're saying.
You don't care that people are going bankrupt because they get cancer? You don't care your police are running wild and killing innocent civilians? You don't care that people are still defending slavery?
OK. I think I have explained myself in full and I don't get what extra chromosomes have to do with any of it. I'm done. Thank you for your time.
Oh, centrists care about all of those. They're the status quo that centrists want to preserve.
