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!

I'm concerned about both Biden and Trump viability in office, as many people are..just because you complain about Biden doesn't mean you support Trump.
No centrist will ever understand this.
From this interview it looks like his motor skills are slow but he is functioning fine.
This whole thing was astroturfed, because trump knows Biden could get some Republicans voting for him. If it wasn't, we would see similar requests for trump to stop down, but there are crickets, why?
Well, sure some things may look fine now, but when people.get that old it only takes one thing to throw them.off the rails.
Both Biden and Trump are at risk of the same thing because they are both old as fuck.
President is a 4 year job commitment.
When my grandpa was 86 he was perfectly healthy and gardening outdoors and doing living independently in his 2 storey house.
By the time he was 90 he was practically in a wheelchair and confined to one level of his house and unable to go outside to his backyard.
My grandma was at that point from 64-68
People over 55 should not be allowed to run for president.
For anyone that wants to judge for themselves:
