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.

Why would Joe Biden and Democrats do this? Clearly they hate real Americans.
Their hubris and inaction while they had the chance to do something is a big reason we're in this mess.
It's always crazy to see Democrats walk into office, sit down, say "we literally can't do anything because we don't have permission", watch a fascist win, passively hand power to the fascist, and then insist it is the six swing voters in Penstucky who are to blame for everything that happens next.
Meanwhile, all the war crimes presided over by Obama and Biden are just... ignored. The bailouts? Ignored. Inability to prosecute ousted corrupt politicians? Ignored. Jails full of migrant children? Ignored. Genocide by our allies that we gleefully fund and tacitly encourage? Ignored.
No no no. It was those handful of swing state voters who did this. They made Gavin Newsom start a podcast that pays Charlie Kirk to come on and say slurs. They made Ruth Bader Ginsberg get COVID at a wedding, 10 years after she should have retired and been replaced by another Democrat. They are singularly responsible for Gitmo, for the invasion of Ukraine, and for Chinese AI.
If they'd just given Biden one more term in office, and a House/Senate supermajority, and all the state governors and legislatures, and maybe a few friendly governments in Latin America and Europe...
Then maybe Biden would have permanently forgiven an extra $10k in student loan debt.
It always crazy to see people try so hard to blame it all on the Democratic party. Good thing the Republicans are here to save us from them.
Hey I get it, but in the grand scheme of things you are just playing into the political blame game. No fucking answers just pointing fingers in one direction.
Perfectly said
Sure 1 federal judge putting country-wide moratoriums on any executive actions signed by Biden, and a republican congress that stymied every major bill is totally the fault of Biden and the Democrats.
