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!

Reminder the majority of party leaders and billionaire donors are the only ones still supporting him...
He's just bald face lying to voters. Or he's so far gone he really believes it
When the patient starts getting prefrontal cortex damage (including for normal age related issues) the patient often can't handle any criticism and responds to any criticism (no matter how valid) with belligerence.
It's the same if it's a TBI, alcohol/drugs, lead poisoning, literally any of the shit ton of things that effect the prefrontal cortex.
Biden is reacting to all of this in exactly the same way anyone else in his shoes would.
But that's a problem and even more reason to replace him
In the next four years he won't get better, he'll keep getting worse. And I think we can all agree there has already been a large change just since 2020.
Do you ever get sleep? You post anti biden shit nonstop.
7,170 comments in a year. That comes to 19.2 comments per day, every single day, for the past year. The user you're responding to has serious mental health issues.
Edit: Fifty-nine in the past 24 hours as of the writing of this comment. Dude(tte) needs help.
He's starting to react exactly the same way trump and many others on the right do, and is gaslighting his voters the same way, too (like by dismissing the perfectly valid concerns as "drama")..
That is to say it may very well be down to age, but it's also just the textbook behaviour of politicians who are there to serve themselves, the filthy rich establishment, and the status quo they all need to survive.
The thing is, republicans have been conditioned to accept that since Nixon and Watergate.
Dem voters aren't there yet. Hopefully we'll never get there, but right now this shit won't work on Dem voters.
Lol, it's working perfectly well already, in case you haven't been paying attention, those still blindly loyal to Biden, as well as the "blue no matter who" crowd are proving you wrong every day.
Until people like you confront the fact that we have ALL been conditioned to accept this farce, and that those on both teams serve the same people (billionaires) and use the same tactics (empty promises, flat out lies, gaslighting, manipulating, even love bombing) they just appeal to different sensibilities so your bias tells you the one that appeals to you isn't that bad actually, we will never break free from this circus.
Which I wouldn't mind as much if there were enough to actually stop trump...
But there's not.
They're just very loud
Millions of Americans, myself included, do t accept that this current system is the only option, and we're definitely not under the illusion everything is fine...
This is way overdramatic for what Biden has actually said.
Wait...
Are we at the "it's ok if trump wins" that Biden said in Fridays interview?
Or are we back to reality where a second trump term is an existential threat to American democracy.
Because if we're back in reality. I don't see how taking the threat of Biden losing seriously is "overdramatic". If anything, I'd say Biden is being "under dramatic".
Do you overstand?
Drink some water and go to bed.
