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!

If you criticize him here though, you get called names and told you're a Trump supporter. It's pathetic that the best Democrats can do is Biden, a guy who is responsible for so much death and destroyed lives though his hard stance on drugs and jails throughout his career. I see m think Biden is a conservative disguised as a leftist, he's not anywhere near left wing enough and neither is anyone I can think of in u.s politics that is of any worth.
And it's really sad that you can't even criticize a democrat here without people losing their minds and acting like you just insulted god.
This is Lemmy. The main criticism of Biden is that he passed the act to end the railroad strike instead of putting all railroad CEO's in a room and then burning the room down.
The supporters of Biden here are either going to point to Trump and say "he ain't that" or are going to say he did something good, even if it wasn't everything they wanted.
Has anyone lost their shit when I criticized Biden? I don't see ANYONE GIVING A SHIT! ANYONE??
It's pretty fun to watch you push a point no one agrees with though, keep going bud
You're not picking friends. Learn how Politics work, both in the literal sense and the interpersonal sense. No one likes someone who just complains all the time. You need to learn to pick your battles. If you spread aparthy among your peers about Biden, you might get someone much much worse. And despite the wet dream of letting things get so bad that some magical revolution comes in and saves us, reality hits us like a truck. Overturns Roe, Overturns the voting rights act, guts the EPA, among other things. It'll take an entire generation to fix these things.
Talking about a political candidate is literally the most basic form of democracy in this country, it literally doesn't get any more basic then people debating things, least of all someone running for office
You can't just threaten people with friendship, that's insane lol
If you just want to hear yourself talk. If you want to affect the world and change it for the better on the other hand, learn how to accomplish it.
The victim complex from never fails to make me laugh.
