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

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!

Boy those pro-Palestine folks that didn't vote for Kamala to protest her stance on the genocide sure did own the Democrats. I'm sure they're super happy about helping get Trump back in office and aren't at all upset about the leopards gnawing off their entire heads.
I am happy that Democratic voters did not learn that they can support genocide and still win elections.
If you tolerated genocide, you are the kind of voter that allows them to get away with these things. This enabled the current genocide - they expected you to fall in line znd it sounds like you did what you were told. It will also enable the rightward swings the party always wants to take in the interests of capital.
It would be better if you focused on becoming politically informed and worked against these forces rather than giving them legitimacy.
They quite literally do not think Palestinians are people. Nothing else could explain their blood soaked entitlement. Nor how unapologetic they are.
But that was before the election.
Now you know they're literally the same as the nazis on the other side by how fucking gleeful they are to watch the bodies stack with an ignorant "I told you so"
They're exactly the people we said they were. Let's see how many learn from us saying so and being right.
Yes, liberals have been scratched and, as I predicted, they have split into two minds:
Unlike every other time we've supported the ongoing Israeli genocide and still won elections.
Good thing the anti-genocide party w-
Oh, what's that?
The message sent is actually "More genocide is a winning position to the electorate"?
Huh. Almost like this was a stupid idea from the start by privileged types who won't suffer the consequences of their actions.
You didnt vote democrat this election you are responsible for never again getting the chance to elect a candidate that will stop Israel or make anything better.
No Democrats were committing genocide, removed for misinformation.
What do you call giving weapons with the knowledge that they will be used for genocide?
Does the recipient obviously lying "oh they'll just be used for defense" while they continue to commit genocide with previous shipments of weapons give the democrats plausible deniability in your book?
Knowledge != expressed purpose.
We supply Israel for the defense of Israel, what they then choose to do with it is on them, not us.
Why do you believe this? Don't people have a responsibility to not give weapons to people knowing they will be used for genocide?
Also, us? Are you part of the Biden admin?
What a fascinating standard.
I'm curious, does this mean that you would consider China to be absolved of responsibility for arming Pol Pot, who used their weapons to murder millions of innocent people, on the basis that they never expressly told him to do it, and "merely" kept arming him while it was clear that that was what he was doing? Because I'm pretty sure that kind of apologia would catch you a ban even in the tankiest of tankie spaces, and rightly so. But switch out China and Pol Pot for the US and Netanyahu, and dronies consider not taking that position to be "misinformation."
Watch the news, shit is horrible now. There were and are no checks on the Israeli army. But keep blaming the third party voters if it makes you feel better. We don't mind.
If you don't think it can get worse, you're a fool.
It will get worse with no policy change. It is an ongoing genocide with unconditional US support.
It's gratifying to know you don't mind recognition for being literally too stupid to vote.
Haha! So bad was so bad that picking worse was better? Good going there!
They're still acting like they're better than Trump and his supporters
Even now while they're openly cheering on the death
They're worse
Biden put pressure on Israel several times and achieved temporary ceasefires and more humanitarian aid. Rafah would have been stormed months earlier without US intervention.
Usually abstinence prevents idiots from entering the gene pool; this time it may help get rid of some if Trump gets his way. Great work!
Us: You're acting exactly like nazis
You: Now watch me do eugenics!
The headline is wrong but still congrats to you morons for enabling Trump. He is clearly a friend of the Palestinians and not Bibi's buddy.
