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!

MODERATORS
20% uncommitted echo chamber? Who's the one in the chamber?
80%+ of Dem voters want to stop israel's Genocide. Only Dems paid by AIPAC want to keep it going.
Biden will lose 100% if he keeps the Genocide going. He can't even campaign on colleges because of all the protests he's getting. His own left voters are working against him until he stops.
It's up to 60% of Dems as of late January. Source. If you have a more recent poll that shows 80% feel free to link it.
No 50%+ of Democrats believe israel is committing Genocide
As for the ceasefire a quick google gives us 77% 15 days ago.
Even the majority of Republicans support a ceasefire. This is not a controversial opinion by now.
"Ceasefire" and "genocide" are two very different words coming from different camps.
"80% of Democrats want a ceasefire" is not what you said.
If Biden negotiates a ceasefire, obviously that will be a huge win. No one is doubting that.
If Biden takes a hard line against Israel, and starts using the word "genocide", he will lose voters.
You should not confuse those two positions.
A ceasefire is stopping israel's Genocide.
Israel is committing Genocide that is a fact.
A ceasefire would stop it that is a fact.
Biden is losing voters because he is not using the word Genocide and supporting israel. You are turning the world around.
Facts don't vote.
But you know what else is a fact? The poll numbers I linked.
You said "if Biden stops funding Israel's genocide", NOT "if Biden negotiates a ceasefire".
If Biden takes a hard line against Israel, he will lose votes.
Which votes? Can you back up your claim?
I already linked the polling data.
Where the AP article?
Yep.
What in there proved your point can you quote it like I do for my articles?
You can't read?
This is obvious sealioning but I'll indulge you this one time.
So 62% of Democrats say they have gone too far and not forcing a ceasefire would cost Biden votes?
How does this work
You never said the word ceasefire until you were forced to move the goalpost. Stick to your original statement.
Stop the Genocide. With a ceasefire. How else?
You specifically said
So I'm guessing you think cutting off funding is "how else".
I linked evidence that 80% of Democrats are in favor of a ceasefire.
You are saying Biden would lose votes by enforcing a ceasefire. I am saying Biden would gain votes by enforcing a ceasefire.
Quit talking about ceasefire. That was not your original point. Unless you admit you were wrong about your original point.
You're really trying to win on semantics now that you've been proven wrong with stats.
You said "stop funding Israel" is what Biden should do. I want you to defend that.
You said "stop funding israel would cost Biden votes". I want you to defend that. You clearly did not do that whatsoever as even your own stats show voters don't support israel's Genocide.
If 40% of Democrats don't even see a problem with what Israel is doing...
And independents are 50/50.
