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!

Joe Biden is at least trying to do SOMETHING to reduce student debt.
Not enough, but something.
He is indeed. Biden is persevering on both student debt and sick days for rail workers. I'll not fault him for either. Both are commendable. He needs to crow a lot louder about both. Particularly the sick days, since everyone got to see Biden the strikebreaker and too few people even know about the sick days.
He's not only trying, he's trying again. He's not just giving up forever after encountering one little setback.
I wish more Democrats would show the same level of persistence.
I am sorry I had trouble getting over Biden saying interracial marriage is wrong, like what did he do for me? Oh not be Trump? Like its feeling like people vote for whatever, i know soooooo many people who would vote for Trump over Biden, but voting Kanye is just stupid 🙄
When did Biden say that? I haven't been able to find a source.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/03/joe-biden-record-on-busing-incarceration-racial-justice-democratic-primary-2020-explained.html Lol my downvotes show how right I was, choosing between geriatric racists is more normal than voting Kanye because hes “crazy”. People will see dogwhistles in everything but where they actually are.
You claimed he was against interracial marriage. The article you linked never mentions it.
You were lying.
There's a lot to bitch about as far as Biden goes, which makes it even more weird when people make up fake shit to be outraged about. I felt the same about Clinton.
You are not “insert race here” if you do not vote for Biden, enjoy your platform
You got called on your lie and now you're flailing.
Who you voting for?
Still trying to distract from how you lied, huh?
There is no lie, I just don't have a soundbite for you, please tell who you would vote for? And/or your opinion on Kanye West, the whole start of this convo, because I think its insane people rather fight for status quo than real change like how someone defending Biden’s racism might be interpreted as bootlicking, or worse suggesting Trump is better cause he isnt Biden.
This is:
Biden never said that.
I will not participate in your attempt to change the subject.
