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!

Yeah. The only person who could have prevented this, saying that he knew Trump was a corrupt loser just pisses me off even more. You fucked over the entire country because you were afraid to hold rich pedos accountable
He never got over his first lost in the 80s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_1988_presidential_campaign
Biden's campaign also hurt Dukakis, because it was the same neoliberal playbook the Clinton's later used.
He saw being Obama's VP as a slap in the face, so when the oligarchs and Hillary told him he could be an empty suit president, nothing was going to stop him.
I'm honestly still shocked someone got him to drop out of 2024. I think they just legit told him "you can't run, sorry" over and over and his brain is so mush he just eventually went with it. He's a dick, but there needs to be investigations into the last three administrations and all the elder abuse that our presidents have been victim of in the last decade, because otherwise the people who orchestrated get off with it.
We desperately need to get back to actual presidents again
That makes me so sad that possibly plagiarizing a paper in college was enough to tank a candidacy. Our society has fallen
Uh...
He continued to plagiarize up to that point in his political career.
He lied multiple times.
When reporters fact checked them, Biden lied about being top of his class and claimed to have a crazy high IQ and called reporters dumb...
He was a proto-trump in a lot of ways.
It wasn't the plagarizing that hurt him, it's that the mask dropped and he showed he thought he belong to a higher class of people than everyone else.
Please stop thinking you know everything about major political events because you read a social media comment that mentioned it, or even just entire Wikipedia articles.
It's not as simple as a summary
