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.

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.

You may not be technically wrong, but whataboutism in the face of the new Nazi regime will likely not be well-received. It's hard to make any reasonable comparison between Biden and the abject authoritarianism happening today with the Trump admin and DOGE.
Nobody stands up for students, and it's getting far worse under Trump. I don't see what Biden has to do with that.
Well the fact is that we tried "vote blue no matter who" and it failed. The dems won't even bot do genocide so what's the point? That's how less engaged people think, the ones who aren't debating politics online. Voting for Chuck schumer isn't gonna fix anything
When you realize Trump represents what Biden represents which is what Obama, Clinton, Bush etc... Then you'll realize that USA has always been evil. Trump is simply saying out loud the quiet part. To show my point I'll list a bunch of things they all did in unison.
Genocide, not one president didn't genocide Arabs. Not one. Obama started 5 wars in the middle East, look at how Syria is turning out because of US interference.
All of them talk about China as a great war engine. A country that has not gone to war in over 40 years.
They all spread lies about human rights issues in other nations as well as force their allies to confirm what they're saying. Though hilariously Trump isn't doing well on that last part.
But you know, we should keep thinking our votes matter, so let's not whataboutism, just lay the blame on the current administration.
Edit. I take back a little bit of what I said. The biggest difference with Trump is the American people are suffering too. At least with prior presidents, they stole resources for America. Trump does not seem to be doing that part and that's why more people are upset.
