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!

Yeah, you heard them. Everything trump does is Bidens fault. Don't blame the people that voted for him, or the entire party continuing to enable him and not holding him accountable. Obviously this is entirely on Biden.
Democrats lay the foundations for the actions committed by Republicans, fascism didn't happen in vacuum, it required the assistance if a perceived weak liberal party. Liberal voters refusing to hold their own people accountable led to where we are right now. You've told them they can do anything they want, including a genocide, and you will still come back for more. Your lesser evil, which doesn't exist, allowed for a larger acceptable evil the next time, compounded over 50 years you've allowed the evil to grow so large someone like trump became possible.
'lesser evil, which doesn't exist' 'larger [...] evil'
Compelling argument contradicting yourself in the same sentence.
It's not a contradiction, you believe a lesser evil exists, your lesser evil grows at an ever expanding pace. At one time Democrats thought Dan Quayle misspelling potato was an outrage, now you turn a blind eye to genocide. See how that works, how it continually grows?
Lesser evil does not exist, only evil.
That's not what he said. The turnout for Biden was lesser because his "nothing will fundamentally change" message was for the donor class and the literal opposite of what people needed to hear. Then Kamala was finally "allowed" to take over the campaign and when asked she essentially said "everything Biden did was great, I wouldn't and won't do anything different." which was also the literal opposite of what people needed to hear. It's what the monied class needed to hear though, but although their money can break a candidate they can't force people to vote or be excited so the turnout wasn't enough to beat the trump cult of personality.
Everything Trump did was Trump's fault, but Bidens inaction and Kamalas intent to keep doing "nothing" doomed their campaign. Of course add to the mix "Israel is perfect and doesn't ever do anything wrong, we're never going to confront them" didn't help either.
Except my entire point stands for trumps first term when he regularly broke the law and failed to be held accountable. Long before Biden was relevant again.
~~That's fine, but that's not what you said so that's not what I was responding to. You were responding to a comment questioning what givesomefucks said. Now you're saying it's about Trump's first term, but that's not what the original comment was about.~~
Edit: I think I was the one misreading the original comment
