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
Thank you for the clarification, I appreciate it.
I spent some time thinking about this, and I'm interested in your take, because I agree with basically everything you say, and especially:
I truly don't think Biden can win at this point. The way I see it, supporting Biden as a candidate, arguing that he's the lessor of evils, that we just have support him to beat Trump; its not only supporting genocide, its basically committing to a failed strategy because you are too blind to see any other way.
To make it short: I don't think Biden is going to be the nominee. Not after this week. Not after they've been hiding him as much as they have. His cognitive decline is real, and his ludicrous position on Gaza is setting the stage for global conflict.
I'm gonna say that after this week, Biden's polling is going to dip into the thirties, and in 4-6 weeks he'll be polling at 35-40%. He's not going to change his position on Gaza and he can't win the national election with his position on Gaza. The student protests have highlighted that point.
Do you think Biden will be the nominee after his reaction to these student protests?
Nominee? Like the primaries? Yes, the DNC is too selfish to prop up any other sentient human. The only way he isn't the nominee is if they remove him or if he drops out. And in the General I will vote for any meat bag with a pulse over Trump. Hell, pulse is optional. And I am pretty sure any American who isn't activity trying to burn this country down will do the same. Tramp will not only continue to not give a shit what is happening in Gaza, he will capitalize off of it. Same in Ukrane (That war is his fault) he will also start wars here. Unfortunately, it is the lesser of the evils. And Biden is far less bad... he is a passenger, Trump stomps on the gas. This country will never be fixed peacefully. To many powerful people will lose too much money if it is ever fixed.
