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!

Can you point to a single example of this sentiment? I keep hearing this claim and have never seen or heard this argument from literally anyone advocating on Biden's behalf. I don't understand why you guys think we have this unbending loyalty to Biden like Trump voters do. There's zero evidence of that.
I feel like it's in nearly every thread on here when Trump or Biden gets mentioned. I guess it's just easier to see when you're not head-over-heels for one of them.
Other than this one that we are currently in, just off the top of my head:

I'm sure that if you keep an eye out for it, you'll start to see it. That is, if you can quiet the voice in your head that keeps telling you how awful it is if you question Biden's brilliance. Seriously, it's not a religion, it's OK if you doubt a little bit every now and then.
Again, no one is head over heels for Biden. I have not seen a single serious comment here that says you can't or shouldn't criticize Biden. When has someone told you that you can't criticize him? You keep making this claim that Biden has some kind of cult following like we see with Trump but provide absolutely no evidence to back it up. Seems like you're projecting or trying to Both Sides everything. That's all.
