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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Joe Biden stumped for the guy, but you blame the progressives because you hate them.

Maybe look at the entire reality next time. Everyone campaigned for him because Dr Oz is a nightmare.

But I guess being a smug neoliberal is more important than facts.

The great thing about being a smug progressive is you can just make up facts whenever you like.

Oh, so Joe Biden and Barack Obama didn't campaign for him?

I guess it only counts when Bernie Sanders does it.

Maybe you'll enlighten me as to which facts I made up?

Pathetic.

All you’re admitting to is liberals help progressives out and progressives act like dicks to liberals.

So you're incapable of answering the question about your accusation? Wow who would have guessed?

Maybe someone who hasn't seen you do the same thing a billion times before? You called me a liar. Are you just going to pretend like you didn't?

It is funny to see you cry about it, I'll give you that.

It’s not hard to read the previous comment.

So coy. I guess I should have expected you to dodge responsibility.

What did I lie about? Or are you afraid to put your thoughts into writing?

Right I’m the one dodging responsibility when leftist loved Fetterman until he turned.
