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!

I mean, the lesson is probably that it's a good idea to have a primary instead of just letting a senile old man pick his successor.
Yeah. Biden fucked up by running again.
Voters sealed the deal though.
No no, they're perfect and anyone who says otherwise who wants them to win is actually a trump supporter. They don't like to win elections by having popular policies or candiates, you just vote for them without a second thought or an opinion.
This is such a lame attempt at a straw man. Fuck off, nobody thinks she was perfect.
Yep, every time someone said she was going to lose for failing to be popular in a national popularity totally wasn't mocked or banned on several .world communities. You got it.
pretty funny the bootlickers are downvoting this, they don't want real elections i guess
The DNC has told them they don't like primaries because the poors get a say in it. They'll say show up in the primaries while they ignore results and tilt the scales.
It takes 6 months to run a primary, they had 107 days.
Now, we could argue Biden should have bowed out sooner, which he absolutely should have, but it wasn't obvious to everyone until that shit show of a debate.
Even then, the debate was June 27, 2024 and he didn't quit the race until July 21, 25 days later.
It was obvious to Biden himself during his first run. One of the promises he made in 2020 was that he wouldn't run for a second term. He should have held to his word, and had a primary.
If Trump hadn't run, Biden wouldn't have either. He said multiple times he was the only one who could beat Trump, in fact, he was saying that as recently as after the election.

They had four years to figure out what to do with Biden.
No no, planning ahead is bad. Especially when you promise to be a one term president and then turn your back on it. Like with codifying Roe v Wade. Or student loans. Or monthly payments to help with COVID. Or...
