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!

The man has had a stutter all his life. You making fun of a disability?
The disability? No. The sentence it produced, given the context of the event that just happened? Yes.
That said, the meat of my last post was the criticism of the message. Beyond a chuckle at "lol, battle" I don't really care that he misspoke. I do care that we're being told to just sit pretty in the midst of things like the planet burning up and the Nazis coming back. He talks about us settling our differences of opinion with civility like the opinion being discussed is whether or not pineapple is good on pizza... we got bigger fish to fry. One of those fish already had its own world war; we fried it the first time with a fuckton of violence. If violence isn't the way this time around, what's the plan? Voting is good and well: do it! I definitely will. ...but we've been voting, and the existential threats persist. He wants us to be nice and quiet. Okay... so give us a road map of how that's going to actually work.
Biden's biggest problem is assuming the opposition is arguing from a position of honest disagreement. They aren't. Everyone knows they aren't. Biden's insistance that they are good people and honest brokers he can deal with is incredibly naive for an 81 year old.
You know what. I agree with you on all points.
Are you responding to a different post? Go back and look again.
Battle box bro up top. Yeah correct response.
And Trump is a sociopath, you discriminating against his disability? Biden can't carry a sentence because he's old as fuck combined with a stutter. We all know Biden is the better option, but don't be a gaslighting little bitch and pretend it isn't real.
Sociopathy isn't a disability, is a personality disorder.
So Fuckface 45 can fuck off, and his apologists, too.
Naw, my first post here was a botched attempt to open some criticism with light humor, but I admittedly went for the lowest hanging fruit. @[email protected] was right to call me out.
