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!

Nah, Biden's biggest mistake was undoubtedly appointing conservative do-nothing Merrick Garland instead of somebody who would actually do their fucking job and prosecute Trump's crimes.
Everything else is dwarfed in comparison to that. Biden is going to go down in history worse than Neville Chamberlain, as the President who let the fascists destroy the country on his watch and did fuck-all to stop them.
100%. Biden's out-of-the-gate COVID Vaccination Plan, and Economic Stimulus Plan were both wildly successful, and those two things alone would have put him among the Top 10 presidents of all time, IF he had done a decent job in the rest of of his administration.
But he appointed the most feckless REPUBLICAN in existence to be his AG, and investigate the Trump Administration, and he proceeded to dither and slow-walk EVERYTHING for two years, allowing Trump to run out the clock, and MAGA to rise again. Worse, they did it all in plain sight, boasting about it the entire time, and the Biden Administration did absolutely NOTHING to try to avoid it, as we all SCREAMED to stop them, and were ignored.
For that, Biden will be cemented among the Bottom 15, among the losers and traitors who allowed the Confederacy to gain strength and secede. Biden is one of them.
Biden didn't want to stop it because the entire party condones what the other does. It keep them all in power
