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!

People are saying.
reports are coming in
"At least two people on Twitter said it, and journalism needs two sources right?"
More and more
Modern Headlines be like "Obama Told Biden to Fuck Right Off"
And then the article, "There's a possibility, in the multiverse, that there's a timeline where perhaps Obama thought about wondering aloud in private to his bestie that mayyybe Biden should think about if he should contemplate whether to set aside a moment to decide if he should spend a minute thinking about debating stepping aside, maybe."
Yeah. These articles are getting tiresome. If it's not right from Obamas mouth as he is endorsing the next person then get fucked inflammatory media
First of all: bullshit title from a bullshit rag.
Second: if you can't quote that person or any sources and pull the whole "SOME MIGHT SAY" card. You're just Fox News and lying to make headlines.
Stop posting this shit unless it's confirmed. Read the damn article.
Sadly, the title quote is not sourced to anyone.
Not Obama. Not to "close advisers". Not to "anonymous barista in a DC Starbucks".
Nobody.
Thanks Obama.
Reminder to tell EVERYONE to not only not listen to this, but to also put down the research pitchforks for a second and go all in Blue, regardless of the nominee. Don't stay quiet. Worst case you won't be able to speak safely this time next year.
100%!!!!!
If this is true, I wonder who his preferred replacement is, if not Kamala.
If this is true
Obama runs down the ramp with a steel chair.
I'm hearing rumors, but so far just rumors.
- Biden is stepping down as candidate.
- A speech is being written right now by a long time speech-writer.
- Biden will not endorse Harris, but will instead endorse a brokered convention.
I wonder if those rumors are from the same people that bring us all of these accurate polling over the past few elections.
Not polling, insiders.
Riiiight… insiders. Gotcha. (Wink)
✅ 1) Biden is stepping down as candidate.
✅ 2) A speech is being written right now by a long time speech-writer.
✅ 3) Biden will not endorse Harris, but will instead endorse a brokered convention.
Looks my info was correct.
Looks like it was. I stand corrected! What a weird time we live in man.
If people were going to pressure Biden to step down, I really wish they had done it back in November or December so we could have voted on a replacement in a primary, rather than one being appointed at the convention.
Nice try Russia...
To be fair, this is exactly the sign I’m looking for: Obama says step down.
This article isn’t it, but if it was that’d be that imo.
The image from the link is scaled down super small on mobile, making it look like Obama is choking Biden.
Now it's my headcannon that this is a physical threat by Obama while he chokes Boden in front of a terrified crowd.
Imagination is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
Headcannon is a gruesome but hilarious typo
I didn't notice until now, I'm not fixing it.
Holy shit the propaganda brigade is on fire today, aren’t they? They’re obviously agitated. Wonder why….
For the love of god, I hope Joe listens to him.
The former president is said to have studied polling data in recent days and concluded that Biden, 81, who served for eight years as his vice-president, has a narrowing chance of beating Donald Trump.
Well, if he studied the data…
Just say the man looked at the polls. He’s not some academic of elections studies. Wtf
