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!

Cool, Trump a bat shit insane narcissist who only cares about himself, who can barely say 3 words before losing track of what he was even trying to do. Toddlers have better object permanence than Trump.
Now explain why that is why we should have kept someone on the same path of the same mental leakage trying to win against Trump.
OK I will. The weeks leading up to an election is not the time to be criticizing your candidate if you want to win. You should be supporting and backing your candidate if you think they are the better choice. Your support is what convinces others and insulates your candidate against attacks from the otherside.
Because no one on the left seemed to support Biden the Democrats and were constantly trashing him online (which the right amplified and used for their propaganda) the dems made the hard choice to switch candidates and Harris had 0 time to prepare a campaign and narrative. She did an amazing job but she didn't have the time she needed to win.
You can blame dems for running the wrong candidate but I don't think the dems expected their base to be completely suicidal when so much was at stake. Its not like Biden is a danger to the country, he's had very few controversy and has passed a ton of good legislation.
