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!

So something that happens every day is somehow being blown as national news because ....?
I aint even Biden acolyte but this whole thing smell rotten lol
Democratic operatives are shilling hard since this AM?
Because after the last debate, where Biden stood slack-jawed and confused for 90 minutes and failed to fill most of his 2-minute answer slots or even complete most of his sentences, he DESPERATELY needs to prove to people that he can think and act on his feet.
In an effort to prove that, he's made a series of teleprompted remarks and done interviews with preselected questions. He should be holding townhalls, but instead he's taking softballs.
So instead of proving the narrative wrong, he is continuing to reinforce the widespread belief among voters that he is incapable of showing that he's with it and is nothing more than a senile old man being abused by those around him so they can remain in power. Agree or not - that's the perception and Biden is reinforcing it every day he doesn't take real, hard-hitting questions on the fly without the help of a teleprompter or friendly audience/interviewer.
I don't disagree with any of this but why would I respect party Kommissars injecting shiti propaganda into my feed?
If DNC feels this way, say it out loud and propose a new guy.
This is pathetic and does not resonate with anyone vaguely tuned in. These boomers need to adjust their shiti playbooks and listen to their wage slaves...
I must be way out of the loop. Aside from a brand of coolers, what does "shiti" mean?
I don't work for the DNC and I'm not a boomer. I'm just a 30-something Bernie-bro who can read polls and knows Biden is losing EVERY SINGLE SWING STATE to Trump right now, and the numbers get worse every week as the cracks in the Biden facade become more apparent. And I really don't want Trump to win.
I was talking about DNC handlers spinning this shit, not you here.
The spin is limp dick here... i am not commenting if Biden should stay or go, i don't care either. I am voting third party as protest vote.
You in a battleground state?
Texas?
I am beyond caring for either side tho... fuck them both.
