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
Biden was floundering in December/ January. He had a strong state of the Union.
He's doing worse now then he's ever done. He's in an actual tailspin.
You are not better off supporting Biden. You are better off finding another candidate.
Again, nothing I said is wrong. You seem to struggle with the core concept, and are just applying your own.
Regarding your concept, it's comical to suggest another candidate in this month of this year, who is not the dnc or rnc nominee.
Any other candidate is a spoiler for one of the leaders
Not if the candidate you've presumed can't win.
Biden can't win. He's fucked himself too hard at this point. Its over for him.
Voting for arguing for Biden is basically supporting Trump.
🥱
Lemme know when it clicks for you that, even if Biden is projected to win-lose-draw, voting for someone else reduces Biden-votes.
You have two options: You can voter for a guaranteed loss, or you can take a bet on a low probability of winning.
Which is the better bet? Biden can't win Michigan unless he 180's on Gaza. He's shown nothing to indicate he's going to 180 on Gaza.
When we get Trump, it will have been your cultish misunderstanding of how voting works that was the cause.
Ok so not yet. Keep trying! Still not my point!
Again, to your point, since this is about you now: If Biden loses, it's not going to be trump 80% Biden 11%, your magic 3rd party candidate 9%.
It would be more like, say, even favorably situating your position: trump 55%, Biden 40%, 3rd 5%.
So voting for your 3rd isn't going to move them from 5%, to 45+%.
If you want to build such a candidate, the work has to start now, but for the next election.
Edit by your logic the low probability of winning is Biden, and the guaranteed loss is the 3rd party.
You just don't fucking get it. Biden cant win. He doesn't have a path to 270 unless he 180's on Gaza. It was a low probability in December when his polling was in the 30s.
Its not a low probability any more, its done. Biden can't win. He has completely lost at this point.
You either run someone else or vote 3rd party.
Saying your voting Biden at this point is basically saying you want Trump to be president.
Seems like you really want Trump as president.
Sounds like you want trump for president
Ah, the old I know you are, but what am I defense. Clearly, you're incapable of critical thinking if you think your contradictory logic is actually a way to stop trump from winning. Again, you're being an apathetic pos trying to get people not to vote. Fuck you, for doing that and fuck you for supporting trump.
I'm not apathetic you dense mf. I'm evaluating the situation and making a judgement. Biden has broken his path to 270 and continuing to argue for him as a candidate is basically ensuring a Trump victory.
That's you. You can't see past the tip of your shortsighted nose.
Oh, the irony, you poor sweet summer child.
Show me Bidens path to 270 without Michigan then.
Still missing! Does this hurt you?
Bro you the one who doesn't get it.
No u bro
