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!

Life would have been better with her and you’d have to have your head buried quite far into the sand to not understand it was literally a choice between her or Trump.
I’m not sure why you’re mentioning Biden here though.
My mistake was reading your post as sarcasm instead of being genuine. There are far too many folks who keep saying that with a very sarcastic attitude when no one was remotely mentioning her and it's an extremely MAGA tactic to just bring her up out of nowhere as if it was an argument being made instead of the actual conversation.
My apologies on the misinterpretation and launching off of that.
I wasn't sure if they were being sarcastic or not, either, for exactly the same reasons. It's honestly hard to tell in certain situations.
I happen to know a few IRL who legit cannot see, or refuse to see, how foolish they were and are about the two choices facing us, and so they constantly, because of their feelings of guilt that they don't want to admit to, will go on the attack about something something Kamala and argle bargle Biden, even if the topic is something Taco is doing to utterly stripmine and ruin this country.
I think these types that I know that genuinely seem to hold these positions are deep narcissists that like to make it all about themselves and how they've personally passed a purity test they've set up for everyone. If it wasn't Gaza, it'd be something else. These same individuals definitely found an excuse when the choice was Hillary or Trump. They'll put themselves on a higher moral plane because of $SINGLE_ISSUE, declare everyone else to be immoral and happily prance off to either not vote at all or vote for Jill Stein or whatever, or, not even kidding, vote for Taco to really stick it to the "liberals" (remember, they use "liberals" as a bad term, because they are so edgy and too cool for liberalism).
When it comes to online, I'm with you - I think a lot of it might be bots, paid psyop agents mixed in with some people that maybe genuinely believe the positions they are taking...
