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!

No, moving too far left. Trump continually attacked Biden for his border policy.
Just because a racist politician attacks a politician if not being racist enough doesn't mean that's why he lost. We need to stop censoring conservatives views and feelings above those of their victims. The fact is going right like centrists do reduces voter turnout among the left wing people, not in the people you argue with online because they're typically highly politely engaged but the people who barely show up to vote at all I need to feel like it's even worth it to bother. Candidates to the left of your typical Center trash have been winning a lot and they're not even doing all that much they're just not being total pushovers for fascism

Biden was elected President over Trump in 2020.
Biden was elected president in 2020 but even that did not stop Trump from having two terms in office somehow. Buying really shut the bed by not Prosecuting Trump for the January 6th attack. If he had put him in prison it would have undone the terrible Legacy of Ford pardoning Nixon and healed the nation far more than what actually transpired which has only created more divisiveness, hate, and harmed the most vulnerable people in our society, which Biden didn't seem to care much about
But he certainly would have lost in 2024. Kamala Harris who foolishly said that she would do nothing different than Biden despite the GOP's strategy to link her to Biden lost after replacing him.
