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!

Ok. The alternative is to vote for the former president that actually implemented a massive tax cut for the rich. So clearly, it matters who you pick.
Also, Biden has managed to pardon a shit ton in student loans because he could bypass congress. So clearly, it's not just paying lip service, but actually walking the walk when it's available to him.
Vote in a Dem majority in both houses (with a margin so DINOs cant block them), and we can actually get something done.
It's easy for them to say those words when all they have to do is ignore everything that actually happened.
Biden's biggest mistake is not being more vocal about his accomplishments. He's greatly exceeded my expectations.
He definitely has. The first few months of his presidency was crazy too. A litany of executive orders to course correct us away from Trumps massive shithole. The shear speed that "sleepy joe" moved at was astounding.
You mean these accomplishments?

Biden has spent his entire term fucking over progressive and leftist efforts.
Don't let perfect stand in the way of good.
Glad to hear things are "good" for you. They're not for me so I won't be voting to prop up your experience when you don't event have the decency to acknowledge mine.
I did acknowledge yours. A president will never make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. If you're going to hold your breath for the perfect president, you're going to suffocate pretty quickly.
Biden was fully expected to uphold the current status quo. While he didn't follow through on everything, he exceeded expectations and pushed through a lot of good changes.
You can find policy decisions on literally any leader that you'll disagree with, but at least he has been pushing things in the right direction.
That is not my perspective or my experience. Try again.
Blah blah
Go back to Russia, comrade
