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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

"Centrist" aka "I'll still vote for racist fascist misogynists instead of anyone else". Fuck off!

P.S. And he thinks welfare is a problem like some blubbering Reganite reject.

Lol you must be one of those vote blue no matter who types. You're anyone else is always a dem isn't it? And if someone votes anything else than blue or red, they're throwing away their vote right?

You're the one who is blinded by ideology.

The GOP in the US literally tried to overthrow the Constitution in 2020, and hasn't said they won't do it in 2024.

If the choice is between the Dems and some magical third party who is going to pop up out of nowhere, hell yes I'm voting Blue no matter who.

Yea... I'm the one that's blinded, while you literally just said you will blindly vote blue.

The Left had four years to put Bernie on the ballot. I contributed to him myself. We're heading into 2024 and the GOP's top candidate is still Trump. Who is your alternative to Biden?

Bring us a rational Republican and we'd have a choice to make. As of now it's democracy vs fascism. Easy choice

Go ahead and get froggy in 2024, FAFO if you must

At this point, trump and biden should be disqualified for just their age. They're dinosaurs, vote wise, Presidential voting doesn't matter as much as local and state does. I've tried to vote independent as much as I can, and vote for someone that at least hits 50% of what I believe is needed. Dems do make the pass sometimes but other times I don't feel comfortable voting for any candidates.

Also Bernie got Ron Pauled by the Dems. Dude should definitely been the one put up against trump

So, you can't answer the one question that actually matters. Who, if not Biden?
