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!

yes 1 3s misspeak after he had just provided a good answer to the question.

He gave a rambling trumpian answer and ended it with nonsense. And just like all of Trump's cult, you're making excuses for obvious cognitive decline.

He's not running anymore. You don't have to carry water for him,

Do you have a single example of a question trump answered better than biden?

Trump shat the bed too. The difference is that Trump has a cult and Biden has a few scattered diehard centrists. Trump wasn't going to lose any votes that night. Biden did. You don't have the same base. Democrats respond differently than Republicans do.

You do realize that there are people who can be swayed and when they go online and see the right saying they won't and the left saying it's over they will immediately go to the right.

Trump is successful because his base supports him and acts like he won no matter how stupid he sounded.

People on the left could easily find stuff to support and get excited about and hold their criticism for after the election.

The fact that you think a bad Biden answer is equivalent to a normal Trump answer should be enough reason to shit on Trump and support Biden(vocally). Its over now but in retrospective.

And you envy that. You want Democrats to be as stupid as Republicans.

People on the left could easily find stuff to support and get excited about and hold their criticism for after the election.

We're not going to pretend a shit sandwich is perfect just because you like the taste.

Saying good things about the candidate you support leading up to an eletection is being smart. Its stupid to say bad things about a candidate you support leading up to an election.

You will always find an excuse to silence people who are critical of genocide.

Dont worry your candidate Trump will sort out the issue. Hes going to end the war by giving Isreal whatever they need to get the job done!
