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!

While I acknowledge Biden's age, his currently presumptive opponent is effectively just as old and makes as many verbal gaffs. I find it dishonest and misleading to only point out Biden's age.
I was not tryong to be dishonest or misleading. Do I have to pull an "X (formally Twitter)" when I'm talking about someone? Biden is 81 (Trumps an old fart too). Biden is allowing war crimes to happen (Trump did bad stuff too. Biden ate a hamburger (Trump ate 3).
This isn't a both-sides conversation.
Republicans said Biden was too old last time. If Trump wins this time, he will be older than Biden was when Biden took office. Not a peep from republicans, though. I agree they’re both too old to be in office, and if one is the other is too.
That is a common "phenomena" I see with Republicans. (Edit: and so many others too, D included)
Idk. I just want a president who grew up in my times, not pre-color TV times. Society is changing so quickly and we have people who bought a 4 bedroom home for 80,000 deciding if housing is too expensive, and they think of their experience and shrug cuz why don't people do it like they did?
I need a president who lives paychexk-to-paycheck. Someone who can relate with the majority of the population.
I want someone who treats it like a video game and the goal is to get all the status bars to "happy", not just military...
Maybe it wasn't your intent but there is a bias that seems to lean against Biden regarding age and mental capacity and the title of this post feeds into it. Everytime Biden shudders a little it's plastered all over every news outlet for days. When Trump doesn't remember who he ran against in 2020, that WW2 has already happened, or Jeb Bush didn't get the US involved in Iraq it's ignored. The only difference is one is President and the other desperately wants to be President (again) and is the presumptive Republican nominee.
