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!

Trump won't have that problem because he won't care how complicit he is.
I mean you are correct.
Trumps voters don't care if he is complicit in a genocide.
Bidens voters do care if he is complicit in a genocide.
Its apples and oranges. The two cohorts of voters are looking for different things from their candidates. Its why comparing the two with each others yard-sticks doesn't make sense.
Definitely. Trump's eligibility doesn't depend on people thinking he's a genocidal piece of shit. If anything, it improves his chances.
Biden doesn't have that luxury, though. Hence why it's a problem.
It's a problem because liberal voters expect a perfect candidate, but conservatives are willing to see the forest through the trees.
Biden's being held to a standard that no one's holding Trump to.
There's a pretty big leap between "perfect candidate" and "unapologetically commiting genocide".
The reason why no one is holding Trump to Biden's starddards is that Biden wants votes from people who aren't the scum of the Earth, since that's already Trump's entire electorate.
Which is not what Biden's doing and you know it. Why even put that out there?
It's exactly what he's doing, why are you pretending is not?
If he says "sorry for the genocide" I'll stand corrected and change it to "apologetically committing genocide"
Sending US troops to build a pier to provide aid is committing genocide?
Now that's what I call arguing in bad faith by feigning ignorance 2024 greatest hits
Humor me, pretend it's not feigning ignorance and explain it. What's Biden doing that rises to the level of genocide?
