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!

The important thing is that we found a way to blame Joe Biden for everything.
I thought we blamed Canada?
I mean after a certain point, isn't inaction just complicity?
And what actions have the ones critical of Biden done for the American people other than just criticism?
Not relevant. All I said is that Biden isn't doing enough
That’s not what you said though. You literally said Joe Biden was complicit. Which requires intent.
If you watch a child getting beat up by an adult and you choose not to intervene even though you have every right to do so, does that inaction not show complicity with the situation?
Joe Biden has every legal right to do more, and every day makes an active decision not to. That shows complicity through inaction.
If you attempt to intervene and a police officer subdues you and puts you in handcuffs and sits you down, are you complicit?
Biden is not a dictator. He cannot unilaterally wave his magic wand and turn the US into a socialist paradise. That's not how government works.
Completely irrelevant. Answer my question without making weird extrapolation "what about"s.
Trump set so many legal precedents for what a EO could do. Biden has the full right to do more, but chooses not to. That's my entire argument.
See my comment above about Democrats insisting on playing by the rules when the other team is openly bragging about cheating. You Biden dick riders who don't demand more from the Democratic Party will be the reason we end up killed by the Repiblicans who aren't afraid to take radical action. You're either a Conservative yourself or just dumb if you can't see how dire things are in America right now.
No, he doesn't, and neither did Trump. God willing, Trump will go to jail for the shit he did.
You dumb teenagers who don't know what a primary is will be (already are in many respects) the downfall of America.
