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!

MODERATORS
Right now it’s all the rage to threaten not voting for Biden because of his handling of the Israel/Hamas conflict.
Idk guys… I wouldn’t recommend it.
No doubt some of that is being pushed by people who want Trump to win. I hate feeling like I don’t have a choice, but that’s kind of where we’re at now: an unhinged, legally cornered, autocratic Trump who is already threatening to turn America into a Christo-fascist dictatorship who will lock up his political enemies & immigrants, and will most likely push for out & out genocide in Palestine, OR an elderly Joe Biden, who has been the only semi-moderating force on Israel thus far (obviously he hasn’t gone far enough and have mostly given faint disapproval), but has otherwise been doing an ok-ish job the past few years (despite what the media says). It’s a shitty choice, but IMO too important to throw my vote away over a single issue.
If you mention Biden being elderly without meaning Trump is basically the same age, or call Biden senile without mentioning that Trump is clearly far worse in that regard, you're carrying water for Trump.
You have a choice, it's just a really, really easy one.
So I keep reading on the interwebs.
