Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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’ll bet you here and now Biden wins. Save this post.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Saved. Love to gamble.

I'll give you 1:1 on Biden winning. $20 enough to make it fun?

Also, I'd like to ask for 20:1 on Biden not being the candidate. If you want those odds, I'd also like to bet $20. (you'd be the house, so if I win, thats a $400 payout on you).

We can save this post and then venmo or paypal, whatever is preferred.

Also good with just the first bets or will hear counter odds on Biden not being the candidate.

[–] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

100% Biden is the candidate. 100% Biden beats Trump.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

SO bet than? We good with this and you good to keep to terms? 20$ on 1:1, and 20$ on 20:1?

Cus I would LOVE for you to take that $40 from me.

[–] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’d bet anything Biden is the nominee and Biden wins the general. MAGA Cultists are so gullible.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well i just laid out a 40 dollar parlay.

Do you agree to the bet?

[–] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’ll take my money now. Biden just clinched the nomination! 😂

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Was this the convention? Did I miss the convention?

You still got days bro, but it looks very likely you've made at least 20 bucks so far.

Democratic convention is in August. So if Biden is still kicking you get at least 20 bucks.

Edit: You also have to agree on the bet. You never actually agreed to the bet (see comment chain).

[–] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yep, I agree for sure. Only a complete dumbass would be in denial of Biden winning the nomination. Bye the way, how’s your two time popular vote loser, sexual assaulting, financial fraud, election interfering, convicted felon doing?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Bro you are completely delusional if you think I'm for Trump.

And our bets still stands yeah?

Because I'm feeling better than ever about it.
