Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

"And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?" AOC added

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.

The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a "conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the" bill only to walk out with "signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill."

Laughing my fucking ass off. Next time you want to pretend to be a Palestinian, remember they speak Arabic, not “Palestinian.”

And you give them ALL a free pass by thinking the US is the only country at fault. There are dozens, and they are smart to keep their mouths shut.

If you care about Palestine more than you care about condemning the US, you’ll start blaming more countries— But you and I both know you are only here to complain about the US, And you do not give a shit about Palestine.

I invite you to reflect on the words I'm saying instead of just focusing on the high you're getting from what you perceive as owning me or whatever.

Your responses and this baseless rejection of my identity is so aggressive and weird that it's not triggering any emotional response in me, I'm just confused.

I don't think I said anything to justify your hostility, I even agreed with your irrelevant point.

[–] madlian@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ll take my words back when you start complaining about all of the other countries too.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why do you want me to complain about other countries in a thread specifically about US domestic politics?

That's so weird.

All of the countries are guilty, especially the Arab puppet rulers, starting with the tomato king Abdullah of Jordan and khara Sisi of Egypt who allow the transport of commercial goods to Israel while blocking aid to Gaza and intercepting Iranian rockets on the heads of Jordanians. None of that is relevant when discussing American politics.

I mean anywhere. Let’s see that comment history start getting real and less ML

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This account is 3 days old, I barely have any comments. This is so stupid I'm not sure how to respond.

In a thread about domestic politics in the US, I made the claim that Democrats fully backed a genocide, and you're still going on about me not talking about other countries. Are you dense, or a Zionist pos trying to detail the conversation?

It's just weird. You're just weird.

[–] madlian@lemmy.cafe -1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Let’s go look at your previous account then. What’s the username?

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So I made an argument about US domestic policy and somehow I need to prove to you that I have another account where I criticize other countries for the genocide of my people before you'll accept that you're being a super weird ZioNazi right now?

[–] madlian@lemmy.cafe 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You can use names like ZioNazi all you want, but we both know it’s not true.

You, however, don’t care about Palestinians. You care about REEEEEEE and your dopamine, not what’s actually going on and who else to blame.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

For the record, I see futility in arguing with a (possibly a bot) disingenuous asshole. I'm responding for posterity so maybe others passing by can see this conversation and judge for themselves.

I am Palestinian, and I'm living in America speaking not my native tongue and arguing with an asshole who in response to me saying "Democrats backed a genocide" wrote all the awful shit you did. You're a bad person.

[–] madlian@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 hour ago

You continue to ignore that what I’m saying is right: you only care because you can blame the USA.

Why are you living in the country that is responsible?* You could go to one of the countries fighting Israel and the evil USA. You are choosing to be here.

* (Assuming you are using ‘America’ to mean the USA, which is something we should all stop doing.)
