Obligatory “if these Americans could read, they would be very upset.”

Not just read, but read a nearly 1000 page, dry, political document

Biden is holding everyone hostage here. It’s him or the other worse option. But he is completely responsible for the situation we are in now.

Well, such moments in politics show us that rats do not, in fact, jump the ship first.

Still two groups of very shady people pitting a senile man (also a pro-Soviet politician in his younger years and probably a crook, but let’s forget this) against a mentally impaired man (who could get a few life sentences were he not that important) look disgusting.

Blaming Biden for the GOP being fascists seems odd to me.

He is responsible for intentionally hiding his true mental state from the public. Running such a close race with Trump should be a clear sign of how unpopular he is as a candidate. At this point, Democrats are dangerously close to losing this election replacing him or not. That is on him.

Biden is not responsible people do not want to vote for him. Voters are responsible for not voting for a person they do not want to vote for!

I wouldn’t say completely responsible, but he and the Democratic Party more broadly are certainly taking advantage of the situation.

Taking advantage right up to the point they lose power, and drag the US into an incredibly dark period.

He finally getting around to this huh. The whole damn party needs to be drilling this into the American psyche. We really need an ethical individual - well as ethical as you can find, it’s a pretty big ask - to serve as a rally point for the Democrats. I mean, we could have had Bernie but Hilary and the DNC fucked that all up thanks to their complete unwillingness to read the goddamn room.

Ethical? Just get Jimmy Carter back up there. If Dems are willing to look past the age issues with Biden and say shit like “you’re electing an administration, not a person”, they might as well go with someone that actually has a good track record.

Bonus points if he can pull off a new “energy crisis” too. Might do us good to increase the incentive on transitioning off fossil fuels…

Do you really think the state is intended for the benefit of the populace and working class?

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!
