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!

MODERATORS
All of which are blocked by conservatives in the House, Senate, or SCOTUS. That last one you listed simply didn't happen (Biden has never stated he would be a 1 term president). Their intentions don't mean a thing when we elect people specifically to stop them.
Biden did in fact say he’d be 1 term
Look, I know the Dems’ favorite way to do nothing is to complain that republicans will yell at them, or the senate parliamentarian won’t let them, or some other such nonsense. That’s where you need a strong leader to come in and utilize the bully pulpit properly. Biden should have politically beat the snot out of Manchin and Sinema for the first 2 years of his term, and forced them to comply or resign. He had 2 years to get them in line via immense political pressure, and we elected the Dems into a majority with a mandate to do just that.
Instead, Biden immediately dropped all notions of doing any meaningful change, and actually gave Manchin everything he wanted in the new Mountain Valley Pipeline, a disastrous development for the environment. It could easily be argued that Manchin was in fact president these past 4 years, because he’s clearly the one calling the shots. It’s pathetic.
