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

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!

This article lavishes praise on Trump with little mention of his stated policy positions towards Muslim Americans and Palestinians.
Oh, Trump's stance on such subjects is utter trash. But the fact that he's actually trying to make the appearance of support is going to matter in Michigan if Harris doesn't do the same. That sort of ground game matters, especially to low-information voters that aren't actively engaged in everything going on elsewhere in politics.
Wait, when has Trump, at any point, said anything in support of Palestine or Muslims?
Here’s what he has to say:
Trump says Israel has to get war in Gaza over ‘fast’ and warns it is ‘losing the PR war’

Trump Says He’ll Reinstate ‘Famous Travel Ban’ and Will Ban Refugees From Gaza

He wants Israel to finish the war quickly. That's not at all support for Palestinians.
And how is banning refugees from Gaza beneficial to Palestinians?
I’m agreeing with you and was pointing out Trump’s stances that the article failed to mention.
My bad, sorry.
I think that's /u/Myxomatosis's point.
Oh I thought he was arguing with me. My mistake, I thought it was weird.
Read the article. He's been doing things recently. It's clearly all just a show, but it could have an impact on voting results.
