The president sought to solidify his standing with the key Democratic bloc — and cement the state’s first-in-the-nation status.

    True…

    Joe Biden didn’t just compromise with segregationists. He fought for their cause in schools

      Given that he veeped for Obama, it’s fair to say he’s evolved a bit on race. At least better than the average guy his age

        I have a dream, a dream where we can elect a president who was born after black people were allowed to use the same water fountains as white people.

        That’s not difficult to do either. I’m 35 and I was born 25 years after that, which means we could elect someone 60 years old and they would fulfill that requirement. And yet…

        Yes, he’s become so not racist that he was able to stomach hanging around a black guy in exchange for a springboard to the presidency!

        In case the sarcasm wasn’t clear enough: accepting the VP position indicated nothing but his ambition to be president.

          I’m not a Biden fan, I know. I’m just giving him the tiniest bit of credit out of a desperate search for silver linings

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

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!
