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.

That's all the rules!

Speaking directly to people with child brains
The replies I'm getting are filled with the broken english and rote talking points of Russian shills
Trump said that too and it apparently won him some Muslim votes. People with child brains are a major undecided demographic.
Edit: I am not saying Muslims are any more child-brained than the general population. As a source for the first sentence, watch this clip from yesterday's Czech TV news (key quotes start at 1:28):
Czech TV is a public source that is trying to be as neutral as possible (which of course helps extreme views as the reporters feel the need to include them). I don't think this coverage is a bad source for a basic understanding of the situation.
Thank you for being one of the rare honest liberals that admits that this is purely cynical lip service and that you can't end a genocide by voting for the nazis committing it
not that you get much credit for that from me. you are after all a nazi acting like that cynicism is a good thing
You couldn't be any more convincing that no one should ever listen to you. I know people like you are allergic to actually doing anything that will progress what you supposedly believe, but at least you could not insult people who are literally agreeing with you.
I'd rather be allergic to progressing towards my believes than actively support genocide. But I don't think that's how this works. I think the people I'm alienating myself towards are already unforgivable nazi trash who are diametrically opposed to the better world I would like to create. You on the other hand want to preserve comfort for yourself at the cost of millions of lives just because they're brown and across the world. So this childish mean girls shit you just tried to pull isn't the worst thing about you by a long shot.
"Actively." There's that word. What does that mean? Usually it means you're doing something that causes another thing. Let's go with that for a second. Let's say I don't vote for Harris. Does the genocide end? Almost certainly not, so my action is not perpetuating it. If Trump wins do more people die? Probably, so taking action that causes that is actively creating that situation (and doing nothing is still a choice).
Harris at least has said continuously she wants to stop it. I'll actively be part of that instead of actively being a part of making that not happen. Fuck off you genocide enabling ignoramus. Go ahead and pretend like you're doing something in your quite place.
Mental gymnastics. You are voting for the people committing the genocide. Not helpless onlookers.
Oh? Did Harris say something you liked? The day before the election? Well of course she must be telling the truth. And there's absolutely zero evidence to the contrary! It's not like she said "war" and not "genocide" even in this statement you're holding up as her being anti-genocide. That would mean you have the object permanence appropriate to call "baby brain."
Mental gymnastics. You're helping people who want to commit genocide and expand it get elected.
She's said many things I like, and as I said she's said this many times before. This isn't the first time, but I don't expect you to know that. Go sit in your corner. You aren't informed and only want to complain about not getting your way, while also not working towards that.
Who is doing anything to help trans people? How can you even say what you're saying and imply you're doing it for trans people? You're either up your own ass or you have no political strategy. You're telling people to vote against the things you care about and you think that's going to get you political power. You're horrible.
What kind hellish discrimination is this?
People can decide what ever sexual or gender orientation they want to be.
Just by looking at name one cannot genderise others. Which century are living in? Even if you are so anti against genocide against brown people, what about the black people who were used to work and tortured? Accepting that as a norm seem fine ur idealism.
Try to refrain from speaking against something which Trumpists are well know for supporting. Century old traditions of oppressing the non-whites.
Still meandering in the times of mean girls! Grow up jackass!
Being scripted is the best tone for reacting to such nonsense.
Not able to understand with ur one celled brain is typically the mindest every Trump loyal seems to show.
Broken English as fuck - beliefs not believes
Uneducated fool!
Haha! You got me! Go team burning children alive with white phosphorus! Yay!
Blood soaked nazi
Use your words
Sometimes emojis have much more emphasis... Only a non chatbot will understand.
I want you to say out loud that you're exasperation is based on people not letting you commit genocide without criticism.
Well you're one of the child brains in this case so good for you I guess? If your single issue is between someone who can't suddenly fix your problem overnight while trying to stop fasism and a fascist who promised genocide in the place you care plus where he wants to run as president then you need to think about your choice.
The president can literally fix this problem overnight
Minor distinction, but Israel doesn't have a President, Netanyahu is the Prime Minister.
🤡
Removed for ableist slur.
Of all the things you could bring up to say 'Trump bad' you chose that?
Didn't want to go in the details as inspite of all information in front of you u chose to go blabbering.
Just a little nudge !
Just a little reminder that the second there's an opportunity for liberals to be homophobic they're going to throw me under the bus?
That you're willing to let millions of people die so you can go back to ignoring politics and if you lose you're going to join the side of my oppressors and blame your victims for deserving it?
I didn't need a reminder; you're already doing that under Biden.
But thanks for reminding me how condescending you can be despite being the dumbest motherfucker in the room.
