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!

Hmmm, I wonder why Lemmy is flooded with anti-biden propoganda. Its almost as if certain rich people have a financial incentive to get certain politicians elected

Why are you putting on a Tucker Carlson JAQing off voice and spouting ad hominem conspiracy theory attack.

There's one dude who clearly hates Biden but most of the articles they post are still from neutral reputable sources - this is an important article to discuss.

All the posts I see is constant negativity and "bidens career is over", there are bots deticated to slandering Biden. It's not exactly crazy to think that rich people want to steer public discourse

thankfully michigan voters did not snub joe biden.

he won 80% of the votes cast. in an uncontested primary biden got more than 610k votes. he beat uncommitted 6 to 1.

despite what people are trying to put out there, the results clearly say biden is on strong footing.

Not really, Michigan is a swing state and if half the voters who voted uncommitted ended up abstaining in the general election (which they shouldn't do because Trump is worse) then Biden would lose the state if all the numbers were the same as 2020.

If Biden doesn't want Trump to be the next president he should pivot on this issue (and it looks like he already is starting to do so according to the Seth Meyers ice cream trip).
