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.

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!"

And this differs from Trump how exactly?
And Biden being the only one of the two you are allowed to talk shit about doesn’t count as an answer.
Please, tell everyone- what about Trump makes him the better choice?
They never have response to this. It’s usually the easiest way to get them to stop trolling. That, or ask them who they’d run in Biden’s place that is currently running and could realistically win against Trump.
I'm still voting for Biden or whomever they put in but I'm super grumpy that these are our choices.
How...?
I’m in that boat with ya. The “how” is simple. We have FAR too many people that sit on their asses In-between elections and they don’t participate until it’s time to vote. And in most cases it’s usually too late to create any good or lasting change.
That's not the reason, the reason is because the US electoral system is dominated by the interests of those who pour the most money into it, not the will of the people. Voting harder won't fix it, the only thing that will is building up parallel structures and pressuring from outside, like what has happened for nearly every major improvement America has seen.
Trump straight up said he'd be way worse in the debate, but people were too busy complaining about Biden to listen to what Trump said. He literally said he wants Israel to go even further and finish the job! Anyone arguing to not vote for Biden because they're concerned for Palestinians is full of shit. Full stop.
At its core, I think it's basically just the Trolley Problem. Some people would rather passively support a worse situation rather than actively support a better but bad situation.
Those people are stupid and/or cowards.
Trump is not the better choice, they are equally incompetent and corrupt. You are implying people only have an issue with Biden because of age. There are a myriad of reasons why Biden isn't liked.
bOtH siDeS, amirite?
They are not equally incompetent and there are facts to prove it. But you don’t like facts, so I’ll not bother listing them. They’re out there though. It should take 30 seconds to find them.
Aside from that- who do you suggest to replace Biden that is running and capable of winning against your boy?
Trump is closer to being your boy than mine. I view them both with the same disgust as you view trump.
Run of the mill neolibs are fascist. Tolerating a little bit of fascism to prevent fascism is counterproductive, that's how we ended up with 2 pieces of shit being the only option on the ballot
That's the bed liberals and conservatives have made for themselves, and are starting to realize it's not too comfortable
They don't care because they're Russian trolls
The 50s wants their Russian hysteria back
Supporting the duopoly is supporting fascism.
You are closer to right wing than I am. I'm not the one supporting blue fascism
So… your plan is to do whatever you can to punish America for not putting up your perfect candidate?
That’s fucking GENIUS! I wonder why no one in history has ever thought to do that before.
This is your mess, clean it up
Fucking hilarious dude. You’re the perfect example of “let other people do all the work while I benefit from it!”
It’s pretty easy to hide anonymously on the internet and bitch at people to not vote because you don’t like what’s become of our politics, while simultaneously doing nothing at all to change it.
Glad I could help get that out of you. Hopeful no one makes the mistake of taking you seriously.
Not voting for the shitstains that caused the damage is a start
If we get Trump, it’ll be because it’s what YOU deserve. Sadly the millions of LGBTQ+ and women that will be losing their rights and body autonomy respectively- DON’T.
It’s too fucking bad you don’t give a shit about those people.
Quit using marginalized people to defend your shitty politicians, women lost their reproductive rights under a Democrat, a party that is promised for 50 years to protect their rights and did nothing but fear monger and raise millions of dollars. And this queer Mexican doesn't know a single other person from the lgbtq+ community that supports Biden. They talk about inclusion, and they engage in social murder as much as Republicans do. They sit idly by and don't do shit while Republicans pass legislation restricting the rights of people.
So…. I’m not allowed to bring up the people that will be hurt by your actions? Seems kind of unfair if you ask me. But if “dems the rules” as they say, then….
You’re no longer allowed to use propaganda to defend your shitty ideology. And at this point, I have serious doubts that you’re even an American.
You’ve admitted to being here to disrupt our election.
I'm no more here to disrupt an election than you are with acts of voters suppression like telling people that a vote not for Biden is a wasted vote.
I guess you don’t give a shit about everyone that will be hurt here in America, do you? It seems it’s the contrary, you just might be here to hurt people.

Yeah bud, I think my comment history will show that’s a blatant lie. However, YOUR history is shows that you really shouldn’t be accusing the kettle here.
I’m near certain that most people know why you’re here and what you’re up to. Thais why your ratio is garbage every time you say something- while on a platform that learns VERY far left.
There is nothing remotely far left, much less left in here. It's chock full of Reagan Republicans
My god your cognitive dissonance is impressive!
Oh my fucking god.
Can't see the forest for the trees
