    Oh hey, look. You’re still not shutting the fuck up. Let’s indulge this conversation more.

    Criticism is useful when it’s constructive. When it highlights a problem in order to find a solution. What you’re doing is not constructive in any way. It’s equivalent to wanting us to accept this system as it is.

    No one here is implying that this system is perfect or that we love it. Biden is literally trying to make a change to the failing system here, and you’re lambasting him for trying. You’re being entirely hypocritical.

    So you can either continue being a hypocrite, or actually shut the fuck up.

      Listen, dude: If you don’t have enough english comprehension to understand I was expressing dismay at our system of government and not criticism of Joe “The Guy You’re All Making Me Vote For” Biden, then I don’t think this will be a fruitful conversation.

      But if you want some constructive criticism to pass on to your boss, how about this: Turn every campaign event into a food back and free soup kitchen. Spend every dime of campaign contributions on paying off medical debt.

      I guarantee that would work better at beating Trump than anything his highly paid consultants could ever post on Tik Tok.

      P.S. One more liberal berating me about how “it has to be this way” will not convince me.

        Shills like you intentionally straddle that line so when you’re called out you can pretend that you were just nebulously criticizing the state of things instead of trying to influence an election.

          I’ve been called shill by better people than you on Reddit.

          Seriously, listen to yourself, then reread my first comment. You’re deranged.

            Then maybe you should stop shilling if even a degenerate like me can see it.

      Here’s some criticism. Biden has spent his entire term sabotaging progressive and leftist efforts.

      Walks back his own campaign promise for $50k forgiveness: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/539139-biden-balks-at-50k-student-loan-forgiveness-plan/

      Goes around congress to sell weapons to Israel: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/29/politics/biden-congress-israel-military-aid/index.html

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

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!
