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!

MODERATORS
Biden has been a Democrat politician for half a century
in those fifty years Roe v. Wade was never properly defended, our wages have stagnated since the 60s, both parties supported funding police/ prisons, cannabis legalization is stalled and has been, and the list goes on
Democrats should at least have to show that they are pushing back with more than just lip service
"Look at all the bad things republicans did, why did democrats let this happen?"
Eric Andre intensifies
This but actually

I honestly don't know how to ask this with out possibly coming across as a smart ass. I get antagonizing is the wrong thing to do. Understood. Do I really just have to let misinformation and bad faith go unchecked?
Edit: The rule literally states act in good faith. The OP clearly is not
Oh, absolutely not. If you think someone is a bad actor, report them. If you choose to engage, do so on the merits of what they're saying rather than accusing them of being a bot or a shill.
Thank you for the response and clarification
Okay. So, you've explained how Biden is bad as a proxy of the larger democratic party. Now I want you to give us the same for Republicans.
I mean you won't, people like you never do. But hey, may as well challenge every single one I come across.
At least they show us who they are by using Democrat when democratic would be grammatically correct.
Some interesting reading on this subject:

someone who doesn't like democrats? that's most people.
did not know had to
they are so very raucous and boisterous with their destruction on their own did not think they needed any more words
what about the antivaping laws Trump expanded on that Obama first put out that caused the US to go backwards in harm reduction when it comes to addictive substances
both parties have held US citizens hostage under the boot of fascism but we keep thinking they are our only option much like an abused spouse that refuses to leave
Kay.
Who else would you recommend as an option?
