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!

so who would you run? another biden? everyone is criticizing anything that any liberal does like it's a bad idea by default, with complete lack of any useful advice or suggestions. are you too young to remember the rhetoric trump got before 2016? because they said nearly exactly the same bullet points you just rattled off about him, bud. he was gunna be a flop, not a serious candidate, voters want someone blah blah blah. THEN HE WON AND EVERYONE SCRAMBLED TO BACK PEDDLE THEIR POSITIONS CUZ HINDSIGHT IS 20/20. And you know what you and other people trying to keep GREAT humans down with GREAT ideas don't have? any actual foresight. you're just wet blankets who think they're smart. so take my downvote and suggestion to stfu.
I'm too old actually, and the elections blend together. Help me out 'Captain Poofter': 2016 was the election of Hillary's shenanigans shafting Bernies campaign and a primary the DNC directly meddled in, right?, where Wasserman-schulz was fired from the DNC and hired to Hillary's campaign the same day after she cheated for Hillary? then the DNC won a supreme court case arguing that the primary was internal and need not be fair. They can do whatever dirty tricks or fixes they wanted and had no duty to democracy at all -- they could even lie about the results if they wanted, and pick someone themselves even after the vote didnt go the way they wanted, literally with smoking cigars in a back room.
That election right? With so much DNC bedshitting and zionist fellating every single cycle, I get the years confused.
