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!

Harris is carrying out a genocide against Arabs in Palestine, just fyi.
And Trump has said he wants it to go even farther.
What's farther than genocide? This was yesterday,
"President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of abandoning Israel after the incumbent said he would not supply the country with weapons it could use to invade Rafah."

Trump wouldn't offer even the token pushback that Biden has, and would likely ramp up the payments and weapons supplied to Israel.

When he was president before, he already massively cut aid to Gaza, and would probably do so again.
That's how you go farther
My fellow voter, Biden didn't hold back on Israel anywhere except in the imagination of the media
50,000 dead after one year is "not holding back?"
You sound hysterical, as you mou must know
That's right, they're carrying out the genocide with full US support.
Have you considered that your calculus might be wrong, just from a birdseye view?
99% of the people in Gaza managed to have avoided being killed in this indiscriminate and unmitigated bloodbath, waged with the whole-cloth support of the most powerful military ever to exist, which you are describing. How do you explain that?
Not enough killed for your taste? The 50k is a massive undercount.
How do you fall for this?
Because it's from one of the bravest reporters on earth.
