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!

I’m saying I don’t live in the uk and obviously am on what looks like a uk instance. So if I comment on USA politics does that look weird? All I was getting at.
You didn’t mention that they admitted to living elsewhere and were just fucking around with USA politics for the hell of it.
I mean, they didn't till I asked if they were an Aussie...
It's just someone insisting we stay with Biden doesn't make logical sense to me, so I've been trying to figure out why which is pretty difficult because they really don't like explaining how they got to their position.
In doing so I've noticed they tend to not be from America, and have no real idea what it's like over here. They just know Biden is currently president, and thinks that means he's most likely to win this election. Also the "waking up to" is a pretty good tipoff. Australia and the US have alternate waking hours. "Americans are asleep" is a pretty big meme and had been on Reddit for over a decade.
I dunno, lots of shit that seems obvious to me, other people just never seem to out together . And I know how thats gonna sound. But it is what is.
Not a tip off for me. I still haven’t went to bed yet lol, but yeah there’s gonna be a lot of weirdness everywhere on the internet for this crap and will get crazier by the day…
