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!

you making a mistake and not being interested in corrective information doesn't mean other people can't read.
you are wrong.
I didn't say you can't read. I said you were pretending to be unable to read because otherwise, you might have to admit that genocide is wrong.
"I didn't say you can't read"
cool, nobody said you did.
"you might have to admit that genocide is wrong."
If you don't think genocide is wrong, that is your issue, don't blame it on some vague "other" that you don't understand or agree with.
I have been saying all along that genocide is wrong. Go back up to the top of the thread and read. No, I guess that's too much to ask. Here:
Now pretend not to understand that.
"Netanyahu is committing genocide and we are wrong to sell him weapons."
I've already responded to that in the first comments, which part are you confused about?
The part where you pretended that this was the opposite of my opinion. At this point, I'm certain you're just gaslighting because you don't want to admit that the genocide you support is wrong.
again, if you support genocide, that is your own problem, don't project your violent and strange prejudices. onto others.
blaming other people for your own anxieties is an ineffective coping mechanism.
Weak.
you sound so weak because your straw men are based on demonstrably false assumptions.
The reason your replies are getting downvoted, is that everything you say comes across as a a very stupid person trying their best to sound very smart, and instead winding up looking like a clown. I would say quit while you’re ahead, but you haven’t been ahead at all yet.
Your implied confirmation that an uninformed mob as moral arbiter could not be more timely.
enjoy that bandwagon; people downvoting uncomfortable truths doesn't make them any less true.
