Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Yep because as it turns out none of those people are running for president, won't be running for president, and in 2016 there was a whole Russian effort to push "alternative candidates" to Hillary Clinton just like you're doing.

You're all about sowing discord and writing "Biden bad" in various ways across various threads, and you strike me as a concern troll trolling for Trump.

Geezus... Why is it that Democrats keep saying, "by advocating for better policies and more progressive ideas you're a Trump supporter!"

Seriously, are you trying to suggest that Trump is more liberal than Biden or something?

Or are you really just that scared that if everyone you come across doesn't praise Biden like he is the second coming of Pastrami that he'll lose? If you're that scared then write up Biden and tell him he hasn't done a good enough job yet then cause you are so stressed that you feel the need to make everyone praise him else you're afraid he'll lose.

That's not even what you're advocating for, you're advocating for fantasy land like candidate switches months before the election.

But leave it to you, a person, place, or thing that is definitely not a concern troll, bot, or plant to wait a day and come back with an entirely new argument about why you're totally not a shill.

I hate to break it to you, but everyone that disagrees with you isn't a Russian bot or shill... some people just want to see more from the Democrats, and Biden ain't cutting it.

[–] aesthelete 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I hate to break it to you, but you switch arguments every twenty seconds and basically advocate for Trump and then call yourself a "leftist".

You are a shill.

Never have I advocated for Trump. You live in your own dimension where facts don't matter.
