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!

Give Biden supreme power or quit the BS. It’s not so much that I want him to have this power, it’s more so that I don’t want Trump to exist…and I’m hoping with ultimate power, Biden makes the ultimately right decision
Democrats, unfortunately, have an annoying tendency to cling to honor while the walls are being torn down around them.
Biden will absolutely "do the right thing" from the honorable point of view and just roll with the election results, and peacefully hand power to Trump if he wins.
Biden could end billionaires with unlimited power.
The courts could declare Biden king and his apologists would still pretend his hands are tied.
He appointed famously "acceptable to republicans until Obama nominated him" MERRICK GARLAND as AG. That along with his actions and lack of same with regards to the Israeli apartheid regime and their ongoing genocide (as well as his reactions to the violent and unconstitutional suppression of anti-genocide protest) says all you need to know about how he uses and chooses not to use his power.
Disclaimer to ward off whataboutism bullshit and accusations of ulterior motives: yes, he IS by far the lesser evil compared to the Mango Mussolini, but that's besides the point and also doesn't make him not an evil.
With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.
Against the "I don't take responsibility at all."
