The president's mood has been buoyed by recent polling and his visits to battleground states, as Trump sits in a Manhattan courtroom for his criminal trial.

    Hey, don’t cut yourself short.

    Biden’s first presidential primary was 1988, it took 32 years before he was able to win one.

    Just never give up and have faith society will keep getting shittier till your flaws are no longer deal breakers

        They downvote you because of truth? Five minute google for anyone in doubt here are some takes: https://time.com/5636715/biden-1988-presidential-campaign/

        https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/joe-biden-plagiarism/

        https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/03/us/politics/biden-1988-presidential-campaign.html

        https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/may/07/ad-watch-fact-checking-video-about-bidens-academic/

        Like I feel like I am taking crazy pills when I see such downvote ratio on something so verifiably factual and honest.

        ETA I’m being downvoted now and getting complaints about sources despite there being 4 articles and advising a simple google, like just jump to snopes if you refuse to read and just go see the checkmark

          trump has plagiarized a speech, though technically it was a family member of his, and it was also obamas speech.

          I think basically every prominent politician has plagiarized shit at one point.

          The amount of effort they put into shielding Biden from criticism puts them on par with the MAGA crowd.

          In some posts I’ve quoted Biden, but attributed trump and nothing but up votes. I quote Biden and attribute Biden and nothing but down votes

          They were very vocal when Melania plagiarized Michelle Obama, but crickets and down votes when it’s pointed out Biden plagiarized JFK

            This is the part where you’re supposed to post the links to these posts that definitely exist.

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!
