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!

If Biden doesn't want people saying the he supports genocide, he should stop supporting genocide.
When a centrist Democrat breaks out the insults, it's a surefire indicator they can't defend their positions on their merits. And since genocide is indefensible, insults are all centrists have. Not that they've ever had much else.
It obviously goes without saying, but Biden does not support genocide.
He's selling weapons to Netanyahu which are being used to commit genocide.
That's supporting genocide.
The weapons are being used to remove Hamas. Its sickening seeing people stan hamas on here.
No one is defending Hamas when they say Israel is using too much explosive near too many civilians, you unnuanced pathetic worm of a loser.
People equate removing Hamas with genocide. Its disgusting
No, people equate what Israel is doing to "remove Hamas", and what Israel is doing is indeed disgusting.
Notice how calling what Israel is doing digusting in no way defends or endorses what Hamas did or does. What's digusting is the complete lack of care towards civilians. To the point where "genocide" becomes an actual, valid (and obvious) question when Israel has killed multiple times more civilians than Hamas could dream of. If you want to drag Hamas infront of some international court too, be my guest: I'm not on their side, either.
That is how you remove Hamas, unfortunately it is the path Hamas has chosen.
Literally no. Is Hamas controlling the IDF generals? The US has been trying to help them with lessons learned in Iraq and Afganistan about being "tough".
Israel chooses overwhelming violence against civilians, which does not work. Israel is not controlled by Hamas, and you are fucking disgusting for defending a literal genocide.
It works if that's the entire goal.
That's what Netanyahu claims. But much of Hamas leadership is not in Gaza. He cannot accomplish his stated goal of wiping out Hamas by attacking Gaza. But he can kill a lot of Palestinians that way.
I'm curious.
Do you think he's not supporting Israel in their genocide of Palestinians, or do you believe Israel is not committing genocide?
Guess im not able to answer this question.
I fully support removing Hamas.
Wrong and wrong. Wow, you must be a terrible person to deny the death of tens of thousands of innocents or their innocence.
Removed for genocide denial.
It might be more accurate to say that he (or any other President) does not support genocide, as long as it does not go against American interests.
Unfortunately.
If your world is that black and white, you're part of the problem.
If you are willing to look the other way while the de facto head of your party is enabling genocide, you're not in a position to lecture.
I feel like genocide is pretty black and white, but if you wanna play in the 'grey area' of genocide that's your prerogative, just own it loud and proud.
