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!

Do you have any clue what has actually been done in the past 4 years, or would you like me to list out some stuff? Cause if you read more into politics besides "the man's old!" he's been doing quite a bit for the American people
Also, if you can name a better candidate right now we would maybe be able to discuss that. But everyone is just saying 'someone needs to replace him' without any real answer. We all agree this isn't ideal. But there is no genuine better solution IMHO
Harris. Easy answer. Already has name recognition, already has been planning to take over as President (if even a single Democratic advisor isn't brain-dead), and scares the Republicans because she's a woman and black. Sure, she's a cop, but there aren't any good options in the Democratic Party, and she won't put up with Trump's shit.
And isn't past retirement age. Of course she wouldn't have universal support, but I doubt there's any Democrat who could have less support than Biden right now.
As for all the things Biden has done, I have heard of a few trivial steps in the right direction his administration has done. That's great. Why isn't he focusing on them in his campaign? Ignore the Toupee. Tell us what empty promises his administration is going to make. Nearly every sentient being is a better option than the Toupee, that's not a compelling reason to vote for Biden, that's just a reason to vote for anything else.
So you want to throw the party into chaos and give the enemy ammo just to elect the person that's almost guaranteed to be in charge anyway? That seems pointless. A vote for Biden is a vote for Harris now anyway.
