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!

If they did and the article was posted to this community it would've been buried by downvotes
Nah:

That's what Stewart is saying in this article, Biden's mental difficulties wasn't a surprise, we all knew about it.
The problem is the people ghost riding his presidency, mainstream media, and the old DNC all just chose to close ranks, deny reality, and insist Biden was as healthy as a man half his age despite all the evidence to the contrary.
But I remember last year
Like you and I are right now, amazing how they prove themselves right for every criticism and complaint. If we said any of this 4 months ago, we would have been banned and called bots.
People lack any introspection. It's a wonder we made it as a species this long and call ourselves clever. More just cockroaches of the mammal class.
It is a little funny they downvote to show that they wouldn't have downvoted this.
"This guy is calling us out for downvoting anything we disagree with, I disagree so I'll downvote!"
Braindead shit, I don't expect much from .world but they keep dropping the bar lower each time.
I haven't downvoted you, but I usually downvote any comments complaining about downvotes, or pretending that their point is proven by downvotes. It's always fallacious masturbatory bullshit.
It certainly can, its just always funny that people use the downvote as "proof" they aren't doing it.
