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.

Only reason he won the primary in 2020. Idealists don't do well against fascists but moderates are inoffensive enough to
It's a dangerous game, as Biden's not bringing anything to the table on his own. Hillary lost in 2016 with a 10-pt plunge in support, because of the Comey October Surprise. Biden could easily suffer the same fate, if his lackluster supporters get spooked a few weeks before the general election.
You mean, besides besides being the most progressive president since LBJ?
That’s a low bar. LBJ was racist,
LBJ was the president who got the most important civil right bill passed. Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ and FDR.
The Emancipation Proclamation was kinda important.
Yes it was. Did you not realize that Lincoln came before FDR?
does repeating this lie help you believe it?
LMFAO. I believe that Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ because I have been paying attention to politics since Nixon was in office. I can remember the end of the Vietnam War, and the minute details of every administration since. Which particular president do you think was better than Biden?
how do you not remember biden's anti-gay votes or his anti-gay, anti-me2, pro-studentloandebt, or pro-isreal advocacy; like most boomers do?
was it because none of that affects you or is it because you're willfully ignoring the last few decades to make his presidency look better in your eyes?
or is it simply because trump is so bad that the alternative is automatically good enough?
How did you not know that Biden has done way more to nullify student loan debt than every other president?
How did you not know that Biden got a Gaza cease fire passed by the US security council?
The president does not vote against anything. I said Biden is the most progressive PRESIDENT.
How can you not know that Biden has been more progressive on me2 or lgbtq THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT?
Well we know that Convicted Sec Offender Treason Trump was ranked worst of all presidents by historians. So a house plant would be better than Treason Trump. But doesn't change the fact that Biden has been the most progressive president in the last 50 years.
he literally use to brag about getting the bill that created our student loan debt problem passed the senate.
also: he's been in federal politics for over 50 years; but we can only judge him for 3 of them?
ysk that cherry picked 3 years has been hit and miss at best.
He is literally the one and only president out of 46 president to cancel student loan debt.
I judge President Biden compared to the previous 50 years of US presidents and the neofascist alternative waging war on democracy and the rule of law.
