Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

But you realise that having discussions like that on open public forums just legitimises the particularly twisted viewpoints of maga people then... Surely.

There are only gonna be 2 people (realistically) in the race if you truly care about what you claim... Then fuck no do the dem party not have shit all to answer for.. not when you compare them to maga.

And like you said. Strategy. That's all thats important for Americans right now.

For goodness sake. It's not just the MAGA lunatics. The whole world saw the debate. People like you are asking us to disbelieve our own eyes. Being a realist doesn't make you an enemy.

Anyway, chill, the problem has been resolved and the orange ape is going down. Unity is the watchword. The only old fluck in the race in Trump.

The whole world has been watching trump for the last 8 years... If you think that isn't worlds more embarrassing for USA.. you have no idea.

Biden messing up a word here and there in that debate was NOTHING compared to the recorder behaviours of Trump while in office.

Yet dumb Americans thought that is what should be discussed. It's literally insane, watching from the outside.

It's literally not worth even discussing, when the opponent is trump. The laundry list of reasons is so much longer and more important..

I didn't watch the debate, but I did see several articles noting that while everyone was fixated on Biden's poor performance, Trump got away with multiple lies. It's so frustrating.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah right. Biden looked lost and uncomprehending. But sure, nobody saw a damn thing. Our eyes were lying to us. Fasenating.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Huh?

Why are you trying to move the goalposts? Is that all you have...

(It's spelled fascinating)

Of course i saw bidens performance. Are you saying that Trump is a better candidate?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry on vacation without glasses.

Yep, Trump is a horror story.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't know what you are talking about. I think that the issue is now resolved. They just left things on hold for too long.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about the race for the presidency and public discourse around it, with special consideration for the amount of Americans that are maga people despite trumps behaviour.

An inordinate amount of Americans are now pushing for a king. I think the nuances of the democratic party is so low on the discussion totem pole of shit that needs to be discussed more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Fair enough, that certainly is an opinion.
