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 feel like I see this same headline on OANN (extreme right website, best avoid it) but switch McConnell out for Biden.
I wonder if I should make a trivia game of people can tell what bias a line has if you removed the party related bits.
I love of you listen to the Trump victory speech and Biden victory speech they both have the same template (say the other side fought hard, now it's time for unity, etc).
LOL get outta here troll
Trumps whiny "victory" speech is him screaming about rigged elections. EVEN WHEN HE WON
What are your thoughts on the Biden victory speech?
"sorry to keep you waiting thank you very much. And I congratulated them on a very hard-fought campaign, he fought very hard. Now it's time for America to bind the wounds of division, to get together all democrats and republicans and independants across this nation.
It is time to come together as one United people. I pledge to every citizen that I will be President for all Americans "
And the Trump speech?
"The folks of this nation have spoken, they delivered us a clear victory, a decisive victory. I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide but unify, and work with the confidence of the whole people.
I sought this office to restore the soul of America, the backbone of this nation."
Which do you like better?
Still boils down to too many elderly politicians, fascist or not
