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.

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.

Stop with the fucking polls... Ffs did anyone learn anything
Hey, maybe instead of ignoring reality we could remember this experience the next time there's an open Democratic primary and pundits are telling us how the moderate one is more electable or whatever? Just a thought!
So surely you were posting a TIDE of stories pushing particular other less-moderate candidates during the time when Biden was getting selected (for 2020 or 2024)? Similar in volume to the current tide of "now that Biden's the guy let's shit all over him" that we're currently seeing?
Because that effort actually sounds super productive to me. Biden has actually been doing fine, but even that being said I'd still like to know what realistic thing I can do to support a Democratic candidate that is younger, for this election or the next one.
Vote uncommitted in the primary
I wrote in Bernie Sanders.
I have no idea if that's even legal or something that counted in my primary. To me, it's not harmful; he's obviously going to win the primaries, so who cares.
I actually like Biden, and don't at all agree with the talking-point pretense that he's not helping the working class or that Gaza is his fault. But he's also old; that's pretty much the only reason I would want to see some other candidate. I'm going to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is in the general election, because I don't want the end of the world, but yes I would prefer it to be someone younger.
But it was HER year!
