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!

The president often had a weak, raspy voice during his first debate against Trump, in what Democrats had hoped would be a turning point in the race.

Legitimately planning how I'm going to weather a Trump presidency after the debate. Unimaginably disheartening.

You could call your congressional representatives asking that they encourage Biden to step aside for a better candidate.

Pretty sure after tonight my congressional representative is thrilled that Biden is the one running.

You have a state democratic party and contacts for the national democrat campaigns assigned to your state. Contact them.

I realize I'm late to the response but the Democrat campaign in Missouri is captured by the DNC which is walking in step with Biden. Last senate campaign we had a choice on the democrats side between a left leaning former marine and pushed major antitrust policies or... an heiress to the biggest beer company in the country.

I'll let you guess who the DNC and the campaigns assigned to our state backed. I'll not even count the first two guesses.

This is an issue they'll listen on. Political parties only care about one thing at their core, getting elected. If that's gone then it's good night for the party anyways.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Sorry to hear that. Maybe they'd have a recommendation on where Biden can actually get those performance enhancing drugs they said he'd be on.

Likewise. My representative is a maga chud because the party cut off funds to her progressive opponent.

This would be as effective as asking their GOP representative to stop being a dick.

There will be other elections. And more debates including the VP one. Maybe we will get lucky and one of them will die.
