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!

but what makes him qualified
as a career politician what has he done to affect your life so much that y'all immediately want to suck him off so hard?
was it the crime bills, the conservative far right immigration policies, his failed response to $7.25 minimum wage, was it women losing rights they have had for over half a century?
or is it strictly because he is a democrat and likes the color blue?
no the US does not need either of the two senile elders with mental decline
yes that happens after a certain age and anyone who thinks these two are mentally capable or immune to laws of time have never had to take care an elder before
Biden is 82 years old way past retirement and Trump is not far behind
What you're not seeming to take into account is that every democrat I know has issues with Biden but since he is a career politician we know he's capable of putting knowledgeable people in places he doesn't have expertise in, which is what a competent leader does (which means I can't even mention trump, doesn't come close). The right doesn't seem to understand you can get your ideas and policies across without full complete love and support for the candidate. He's not the Dems supreme leader like the right has where everyone has to bow down, it's a system and he's just a head to rally behind while others get stuff done.
Hot take: that crime bill attack was always an interesting one to me.
In Hillary's election she got heavily criticized for supporting it while non-conservatives supported it, Biden wrote it, Bill Clinton signed it, Bernie Sanders voted for it. I was somewhat surprised this election when people actually remembered that Biden wrote it at all. I didn't hear much about it in 2020.
The effective and qualified people he surrounds himself with. Sorry for the death of your argument. RIP
You a bot or troll? Either way, you're not good at it.
