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!

Lol? So all you got from my comment is that you think that I believe the President and a Supreme Court Justice are the same thing? You're being purposely belligerent and I don't know why.
And if you actually believe that Biden dying while in office isn't a problem then I don't know what to tell you. Your inability to see any grey area is a real issue. Dogmatic politics are bad for everyone.
What I got from your post was a false equivalence. I'm really tired of people shitting on a legitimately good choice because they aren't getting exactly what they want. Or are Russian trolls, it's hard to tell the difference these days.
The other guy has already said he wants to be a dictator. I'm hostile to people that will get him elected either through direct support, or trying to kill enthusiasm for the better candidate.
Then you didn't read my post lol. I'm not disputing anything you're saying and I will absolutely be voting for Biden but that doesn't mean we don't deserve better or that I shouldn't be allowed to point that out
Somehow old is the only bad thing you can say about him. I'm not going to say there aren't other people I'd like as president, but I do think this is a dangerous game. We need unity against the other guy. We need solutions, not shitting on the best situated candidate. I'm sure you don't have one.
Why would I have an alternative? An alternative was never offered or considered even though it was promised. At least in 2016 I got to primary for Bernie. Though the DNC didn't really give a shit that people wanted him over Hillary and that's why we're in this mess in the first place.
