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

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
Biden is the worst candidate of the bunch by that metric. His favorability is 17 points underwater right now, and he's losing to Trump in most recent polls by around 4 to 6 points. And keep in mind that that's measuring popular vote, not electoral votes. Hillary won the popular vote by 2 points and still lost the election. Biden needs to lead Trump by at least 3 points to even have a chance, it took a +4.5 margin to win last time around. And while we're comparing to Hillary, her favorability was only 15 points underwater in October after the Comey report.
Cornel West would be a way better choice. Even Dean Phillips would be less bad of a choice (y'know that whole "lesser evil" thing and all that). In polls, a generic Democrat leads Trump by 6 points.
But it's all a moot point because Democrats keep shutting down primaries and removing candidates from the ballot. They're attempting another coronation just like they did in 2016 - why would any candidate try to run when the party leadership is shutting them down?
So you can't actually name a willing candidate who has a significant chance of beating Trump other than Biden. Gotcha.
By the way, you are aware that Cornel West isn't running as a Democrat, right?
Bazinga!
I'm super impressed by your ability to ignore literally everything I wrote.
I read everything you wrote. It ignored what I wrote, which was:
You did not name one. You made a lot of excuses, but you didn't name one. Unless you think Cornell West has a chance of beating Trump. Polls certainly don't suggest so.
