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!

And alienate a large part of their voting base weeks before the election? Yeah... No.
I will wait for after they win before criticizing their Gaza plans. But until then, there are only two choices, and one of them has said that Biden is too hard on Netanyahu...
Lol wut? You mean attract the voting base. Most US Americans are not happy with Israel.
Unfortunately most Americans don't even see this as genocide and see anything less than full support of Israel as a negative. Then of course there's the huge bloc of hardcore Christians that think what Israel is doing is going to bring Jesus back. I imagine most of them are voting Republican anyway though.
That's absolutely not true. Most US Americans may not see it as genocide, but most are opposed to sending weapons to gaza
Let's be real. Most US Americans are ambivalent. Most are neither Zionist nor antizionist. But most do not support Israel.
Pro-genocide centrists are a valued constituency while anti-genocide progressives are not. You can tell by who the party listens to and who the party demands "blue no matter who" from.
Oh hey another username I keep seeing... Either you gotta start making new ones more often, or you need more than a couple people to manage all of these sockpuppet accounts.
And... tagged.
Good luck I guess...
I have zero sockpuppet accounts. Project more.
Wut? I'm a human. Why the fuck wooluld you think that just because I'm opposed to genocide that I must be a bot
Do you not have the capacity for empathy?
You clowns are so boring and predictable.
Is that what you contrarians think you are? Cute.
Well, I don't like genocide. And I'm a progressive.
If you can't make the basic choice to support the candidates that stand up against full-blown Fascism in this country, you are an inhibitor to progress. Defeating Trump is a battle we must win if we're going to win the proverbial war.
Anyone campaigning against Harris or Walz right now is campaigning for Trump. Anyone campaigning for Trump should know that he'll happily let Israel wipe Palestine off the map entirely. Don't even fucking pretend you're "anti-genocide". There's only one candidate that could actually deescalate this conflict, and if you're going to fight back against them or blame them for this conflict, you're a bad faith actor who has absolutely zero interest in real world outcomes for the victims of this Genocide you prop your narrative up with.
Palestinian groups are backing Harris/Walz. Privileged American "leftists" are playing the same stupid purity game they play every 4 years, with zero regard to the real human lives on the line.
I'm voting for Harris. Keep ignoring it because you want to keep supporting genocide.
