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!

LOL saying "biden did a good thing" is not supporting genocide, no matter how hard some people wish it were. as others have said, you CAN oppose some of a person's actions and praise others.
i will add though, for THIS election, trying to convince people that they're "supporting genocide" by voting at all is not only an egregiously, laughably flawed argument, but it's making things worse, not better
that's what's called a 'freudian slip'
And I think everyone should vote against fascism. Can you please stop this bullshit, all you're doing is pushing an agenda designed to get Trump to win and it's honestly so exhausting.
(And Trump is literally so much fucking worse for Palestinians)
Great. Then stop pushing an anti-Democrat and defeatist message any chance you get. I don't know what to tell ya?
I don't know how to tell you this cause you're obviously arguing in bad faith, but if you use every opportunity to talk about not voting for the Democrat, you are actively trying to get Trump elected and you are actively making the world a worse place. So could you please, please, stop this fucking bullshit now. Or at least fucking admit to yourself that you are not trying to make the world a better place, you are using one fucking talking point to sabotage every discussion.
you are making a leap of logic
am i voting for harris? yes. was i going to vote for biden? yes.
do i support genocide? no.
but your "solution" of vote third party, or don't vote at all, is a vote that is NOT canceling out a trump vote. am i accusing you of supporting genocide? or fascism? even though those arguments could be made, easily-- no, i'm not. do what you will, but trying to accuse people of supporting genocide because they vote D is some trumpy fucking bullshit
