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.

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.

Woof. I disagree w/ this 100%.
The article insinuates he has unwavering support from Congress when in actuality he has tepid support and uncertainty among his contemporaries.
Also, the donors are pushing back so hard not because they are 'elite' but because they were also at the Clooney fundraiser where Biden sh!t the bed there as well w/ a performance that rivaled the incoherence of the debate performance. They are of the opinion that this isn't a one-time thing and is in fact the writing on the wall.
Here's the hosts from Pod Save America discussing it: (timestamped) https://youtu.be/vbVcn_VQt5A?si=5cqL5NMuUigvbps4&t=1425
"Tepid Support" is Joe Biden's middle name. I'm still voting for Biden because Trump will be worse.
Biden will get my vote as well if he decides to stay in the race too. I'm more concerned about moderates and never-Trumpers and I don't think Biden will ever win them over after his debate performance
None of the proposed "alternative" candidates are more moderate than Biden.
Finally, America can resemble Canada.
Our guy is fine, but he's messed up a few times. No matter what he does, though, he's better than the morally bankrupt runner-up party of canuckistanian oil-baron Republicans and thus - please god - stays in power. Even our #3 party has his back in votes because it's the lesser of two weasels .. or something.
So. Good goin, eh? Next we shall work on your pronouncation of 'about' and 'roof'.
I live in Alberta. What are Trudeau's chances of clinging to power?
It's hard as fuck to gauge it from public opinion here
As a Californian currently travelling through Canada, the "F*ck Trudeau" stickers I commonly saw in Alberta made it feel eerily similar politically to certain parts of the U.S. I definitely can see why it'd be hard to gauge. It's like the same dumbification cancer we have here is being spread there in Alberta as well.
With that being said however, I still think you guys are a lot better off as a whole than we are in the states as far as slipping into christofascist dictatorship. Ugh.
P.S. Please send help.
