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.

I kept saying since last year Biden was throwing away his campaign but noooooooo, its the voters who are wrong.
Yeah people still don't get it. It's sad.
Anything to absolve yourself of the consequences for your stupid decision, right? Pathetic.
If they're too insignificant to listen to, they're too insignificant to blame.
... what makes you think they didn't vote for Kamala? I rolled through their last posts, nothing screams Trump.
... do you assume that because they criticized the democrats, they must be some form of evil? Why are you so gung-ho on defending the campaign. It really could've been a vastly better campaign, in so many ways.
Why are people not allowed to criticize the democratic party for botching this so badly?
People are doing it now to Ozma, mgl, VikingHippie, Ensign Crab, and others.
Logical criticism = aiding the enemy
Now? As though there has been some sort of pause.
Always have, its just non-stop. It's a "now" as in "constant" not "now" as in new.
Sorry for being unclear.
loses every single swing state
Yeah no I'm sure we were a pissant minority made up of 5 people. There's just no possible way the uncommitted movement actually contained a significant amount of Democrat constituents.
That's a lot of interesting ways to avoid saying the Democratic party, through the mechanisms of the US government, directly funded, gave intelligence to, aided and supported a terrorist government committing the first live steamed genocide.
Maybe you didn't pay attention. Maybe you weren't aware that was happening.
But it was.
And others were paying attention.
You don't get to fake quote someone like that and not mention the word Genocide without everyone knowing you are intentionally avoiding the word, and why.
Damn, genocide, huh. Good thing you showed them genociders what's what, now there will be no genocides at all
Did I?
You don't know how I voted.
People everywhere were pointing out what an insane political tactic backing it was, along with the fact that it was certain to cost the Democrats the election.
Accusing people that point out that what they said would happen did happen of being the cause of the failure of the DNC is some of the weirdest Stockholm syndrome shit I've seen.
All to protect the people responsible for the current situation.
It's not an issue, they can just make it up. You see, everyone is stupid when you imagine that they have a stupid position and ignore any evidence to the contrary.
In that spirit, I'm pretty sure the person you're talking to just took a shit on their ballot. So really this is all their fault.
Sorry, did I miss something and the democrats actually won? No? Then they were pretty fucking important it seems.
And those ignored core voter issues were?
