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!

It's definitely worrying as I sit here North of my American brothers and sisters, to see the sheer amount of "Yeah but Biden sucks". Sure 100% agree, but you're welcoming in Orange Hitler if you don't vote, or vote Republican.
So definitely worrying sleeping beside this particular elephant.
The elephant will do damage to the whole fuckin world if he gets elected, including but not limited to wielding the military in a way that I bet will cause disasters we didn't even really have on the radar as possibilities before they arrived.
So don't worry. Being close up to the carnage probably won't make it any worse, and being far away wouldn't make it any safer.
Everyone who paid attention during 2020 and has read the Project 2025 plans should know that this will happen.
But it doesn't even have to be malicious, though he will for sure be malicious, stupidity is enough. A million people died because Covid was so much worse here than it could've been, all because he was too petty to say "Put on a mask, save your country" which his base would've inevitably eaten up.
But no, his stupidity caused a million avoidable deaths.
A million so far
Exactly, even just his incompetence will hurt us for years to come.
Yeah, Biden is a warmonger, are you implying that Trump isn't? Because that's fucking insane.
If you think Biden is a foreign asset and that NATO are bullies, then holy sweet shit you enjoy your delusion.
Just going to gloss over Trump moving of our embassy to Jerusalem and the Abraham accords which were both escalations in the eyes of the Palestinians.
Ok sure thing comrad.
Your level of misinformation is problematic and it seems to be a pattern for you. Banned.
And Hitler also was a dictator, something orange hitler desperately wants to be.
Joe Biden does not stand in the way of democratic processes. I assure you, he won't falsely claim voter fraud or incite an insurrection if he loses the election. Trump has done that in the past. He's also proven to be a liar and a rapist. Besides, elitism does not make a dictator. While dictators usually are elitist, in actuality, they define themselves through a totalitarian regime aka them being able to do as they wish without consequences. Something Trump and his Supporters have also claimed they want. Very recently.
And sure, Biden might not make politics for everyone and he most definitely is not the best man for the job, but he doesn't just make politics for rich white men as Trump does, who, for example, wants to undo anything the Obama and later the Biden administration did for social security, healthcare, etc. You know, the structures average people profit most of. Those who are not the "elite". Not to speak about Trump's and the Republican Party's stance on various minorities.
Generally I‘d agree with you but I was bored in class.
Sure, Biden might be an elitist in democrat clothing. As I said, he definitely isn't perfect and definitely not the best man for the job. But you know what he is not? He is not a far-right, misogynist, racist, homophobe, elitist, openly anti-democratic, bought-by-russia rapist, liar and traitor who wears most of those traits very openly.
I wish he was nearly as useful and as progressive as you think he is, because whatever version of Biden you have in your mind, I want some of that
This is honestly one of the most stupid things I've read in recent times on Lemmy. This take is so brain-dead that I worry for you. For any of what you wrote to make sense it takes a level of propagandization that would make Reagan and orange Hitler cum in each other's pants. Thank you for setting the bar so high for morons everywhere.
Amoxtli describes themselves as
Who the fuck describes themselves that way? This has to either be a troll or a bot. And if it really is a person, they aren't worth engaging with. Just report, block and move on.
