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!

Maybe not.
The Biden-Harris ticket is set in stone, and Harris is the sitting VP. If God exercises His Ultimate Veto on Biden, then Harris gets thrust immediately into the job, while also taking over the ticket and trying to pick a VP that can pass ratification in both houses of Congress. And the optics of picking one VP for a few months and a different one in the campaign are poor, so Harris will be saddled not only with a new job and a boring personality, but with a compromise VP that was picked to siphon off three or four Republican votes in the House.
While if Trump eats one too many hamberders before the convention, Republicans have more options, because he doesn't have an announced VP yet, and even if he did, that choice isn't as permanent as the current VP. Since Trump has installed his people in the RNC, though, we shouldn't expect much of a change. We'll probably get Don Jr. to run in his place -- they wouldn't even need to change the banners.
As ridiculous as Junior is, he will have an army of MAGAs who now revere his dad as a saint, while Kamala Harris is kinda meh. I don't wanna see the result of that.
Hmm, okay the best election outcome is actually trump dying during the election, biden winning against the new candidate due to Trump's death demotivating Republican turnout, the dems also winning back the house and keeping the senate, and then biden having a heart attack on Groundhog day (just for flair)
Finally, the election we all really want.
Kamala Harris v Kristi Noem.
America will be so back!
I can see the rise of snowflake men crying because they don't have an old white man to vote for. Basically, Jan 6th crowd, again.
Idk about J6. But I'm sure we'd have folks insisting American Feminization was at the root of all our problems
Because that would lead to what?
Why is the liberal candidate dying so attractive?
Do you think his party would substitute him with a candidate that suddenly disagrees with almost a century of American treaties and support for Israel? Do you think when Bernie makes a statement about accountability he has to actually do anything about that?
Like I’m all for netanyahu getting a smack and a jail sentence but wishing death to Joe Biden feels like cutting off your nose to spite a liberal face.
Biden's spent his whole life carrying water for the most rotten and corrupt people on the planet. Just a shame he hadn't died much sooner.
If the McKinsey Consultants infesting his administration all want to go down with him in the same nose-diving Boeing Max Jet, the world would immediately become a better place.
Because the guy is too old to really think about the consequences of his actions. He doesn't have to live with them, the younger population does.
Both he and Trump should be in a retirement home, yet here they are trying to lead a country.
lol you're weird
lol u r
Biden has done MANY great things which means something given the Republican party’s full court press to stop anything and everything good from happening.
Fuck you for wishing Biden fucking dies, he’s not perfect so throw him into the flames? You disgust me.
Biden is why Medicare can negotioate drug prices now
Biden is unashamedly facilitating a genocide, I do hope he dies and I don't feel bad about it
He also callously lifted pandemic precautions for political expediency when the epidemiology did not call for it
Trump is a far bigger Israel supporter, considering he ordered to move the American embassy to Jerusalem when he was president, which is a big no-no to any other US presidents before.
I agree on the second paragraph but that's virtually every where on earth. People are sick of the lock downs, which is understandable as there are people having been furloughed and businesses losing money, and not to mention the effect on mental health. Even China, whose people are passive to authoritarian structure, had major protests condemning the zero-COVID policy; which by the way, experts also say does not work as much as the gradient restrictions does not.
I don't disagree
Morals and fears for the future aside, that would be really entertaining to watch
They'd come up with a conspiracy theory.
Removed, advocating death.
lol i didn't advocate for anything, and the rules state no celebrating death or advocating violence, which I also didn't do
It’s like Reddit up in this bitch.
