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!

Lol. It's funny because people literally say "Biden didn't do anything". No, it's Trump that didn't do anything (except cut taxes on the rich).
Trump literally stopped spending on a plan to fight a pandemic, right before it actually happened. He's so broke and stupid (and fat).
Hey now, don't forget that he also fucked up the economy by starting a trade war with China.
And badgered the Fed to cut interest rates in 2019 because the previous two things mentioned were about to start a recession all on their own, which meant there wasn't as much room for lowering them when we really needed it due to the pandemic (which he also made worse by firing the pandemic response team).
Really, the more you think of it the more you realize Trump did lots of stuff -- it's just that all of it ranged from self-serving to incompetent to malicious.
Don't forget that after the pandemic started, rather than simply giving money to hospitals to fund them buying extra PPE, his Department of Health was seizing PPE shipments literally right off the trucks and "redistributing" them at a significant markup. It got bad enough that some states started flying in shipments at remote airports in the dead of night like they were dealing cocaine in the 80s.
