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!

I highly doubt most of the protestors have anything to do with being funded by outside groups, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the dissent has been sponsored by foreign propaganda/influence efforts. Russia definitely wants Trump to be elected over Biden, and also will do anything they can to cause division here.
All you have to do, to see foreign influence is look at the counter-protesters.
Or both--Russia doesn't have to be on one side or the other of this issue, they have a vested interest in there being a fight so they're happily going to play both sides
I wasn’t talking about russia
Yes but of course they're capitalizing on this by stirring up both sides.
And Israel is stirring up their side. They’re just as bad as Russia
That conflict is very messy and I don't agree with Israel's overall actions, but as bad as Russia is a pretty high bar. Russia stirs up shit where it'll weaken anyone in the West. Israel definitely isn't the good guy in their conflict (don't think anyone but civilians are good there but that's another thing) but as bad as Russia? I don't think that. Though I'm regularly wrong so just my opinion.
and how many politicians have been bought off by Russia?
take a look at everyone whose received money for being pro-israel.
Further, Israel has a massive influence campaign of their own. The only real difference is most people have been convinced that Israel is “good” and we have an “Obligation” and stuff.
Apparently many European representatives (if the headlines are correct) and from the actions in the US the entire GOP party. But go ahead and shill for Russia. I also never said Israel is good, I was just saying Russia was seeing shit happen and stirred the fuck out of it.
yes. yes. I'm shilling for russia.
the entire premise is that they're as bad as... which implies I believe Russia is in fact bad. I'm an awesome shill!
