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!

With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign.

"I think at this moment ... we have got to bring the progressive community together to say, you know what, we're going to fight for a progressive agenda but we cannot have four more years of Donald Trump in the White House," Sanders said Sunday on "Face the Nation."

Sanders endorsed Mr. Biden in April. Sanders referenced several of those issues in underscoring what he believes is the importance of building "a strong progressive agenda" to win the presidency in 2024.

Currently I am actually concerned if Biden makes it through the election healthwise. He looks very brittle and if the incumbent president bonus wasn't direly needed, I would advocate for someone else to get there.

But I am actually afraid of him dying or getting too sick during the campaign circus phase and Trump will win again. I don't trust the American people at all.

While I'll never vote Republican I don't see myself voting Biden this time. He got my vote to unseat the cheeto last time but his administration's antagonism towards financial markets along with his outdated stance on things like policing (more cops with no reform) and cannabis legalization (just no) along with him pushing a CBDC (programmable digital dollar that removes all privacy and places all control in the hands of the banking elite) have lost him my vote. I'll be wasting my vote on a third party since a worthy Dem primary challenge is highly unlikely.

The only thing that matters when running a campaign is routinely changing your message. Donald Trump—a D tier celebrity—stole an election from a widely well regarded progressive by just being consistently inconsistent. People forget that during his campaign he seesawed on just about every issue. One day he was pro something, the next day he wasn’t, and back. It let him capture a broader range of undecided and leaning out voters.

Compare this to Hilary: she had one message, one stance from the get go (because she’s an actually intelligent person). Sadly this fixed her reach from day one—which wouldn’t be so bad if her opponent did the same, then it’s just a toss up. But they didn’t. Trump’s team had him changing his tune as much as possible, as feasible. It’s was an effective anticlimactic, depressing simple, just go for the Quaffle way to win an election: no one wants to hear it but just get all the dum dums.

Sorry Bernie, Biden is trying to run on turning cult followers. Also known as, the stupidest strategy.

Only hope is to get something to stick to Donald. Which given the track record....

Of course looney lefty Bernie Sanders supports the commie cadaver sleepy Joe. They want to make it illegal to eat meat or even go to church. Carl Marks is laughing in his grave; in the end he won after all.
