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!

I give credit to OP for not giving up on his views. It's not easy being down voted so much. But I also want to point out that most of his links are from "credible" sources.
Imagine if Fox said Trump was old. Or if Breitbart ran a story saying that Trump shouldn't qualify for president because of Jan 6.
They are both old. They are both "bad." But only one is trying to be president. The other is trying to be a dictator. What's worst, is that Trump has brainwashed all his supporters to live in an alternate reality. Hey look, CNN said Biden is old. Yes we know, that's not news. I remember R's complaining about Bidens age last time around because he was/is older. Cool, time passed and now Trump is that same age/older. Not a word from those same R's. I wouldn't want my grandparents running the country but somehow I HAVE to choose between someone else's grandpa for president.
Yes they both suck but voting for the lesser evil does not work. If the Democratic party does not move more left or supply a more suitable candidate they will fail. Voting blue no matter who will just cause the Democratic party to move further and further right as far as they can because further right policies benefit the people that run the Democratic party and it's sponsors.
OP is not someone bashing Biden so trump wins, they're criticizing Biden because they know he's part of a much greater problem
Not related but relevant, Google used to have the motto of "don't be evil." Then money got involved, so they dropped the motto.
You're right and it sucks. There is no democracy, only the illusion of it. Maybe that's why they call it political theater.
OP is just getting some cheap laughs. They just wanna get people riled up but I just wanna relax. Sorry but adulting is hard enough without the fear media diet prevalent in right wing media, and creeping in to left wing media.
Thanks. I don't care about votes, there's no karma here so it doesn't matter. I came over from Reddit where I had nearly 2 million karma. https://www.reddit.com/u/return2ozma
Used to have 65k followers on Twitter before I deleted my account because of Elon. I've dealt with the "you're a Russian bot", "you're a Trumper", "you're ____" whatever they're mad at this week since 2015 election cycle. I'll continue to shit on Biden because in my eyes, the reason things are shit right now. Do I want Trump to win? No. F Trump. Is it my fault if Biden loses? No. It's the candidates job to earn voter trust and the votes. If one person on obscure Lemmy can "take down the president" then he was extremely flawed already.
Cool story, bro.
I wouldn't admit to half that shjt, it just shows how terminally online you are.
Literally no one believes your not a right wing shill. So why waste the effort claiming your not?
Yup. Check their comment history…. Definitely a shill.
Believe what you want. I know who I am. Good luck
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then I don't care if it "knows" it's a giraffe, I'm still going to call it a duck.
