Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Just because Harris is supporting a genocide on their people, made sure no pro palestinian voice could speak at the Democratic party convention, and talks down to youth protesting the genocide, these Arab Americans abandon the democrats. Talk about ungrateful. There's no reasoning with them. /s

There are two choices. Not voting for Harris helps dementia donnie, who is no friend to Gaza.

...becsuse POTUS45 (becoming POTUS47) will stop weapon supply to Israel, right?

Yeah I don’t get this mentality…. I’m gonna vote against who might not make it better to get someone who will make it and everything else worse.

They deserted the working class and marginalized decades ago, it's about time the DNC got abandoned. It's a shame it took genocide for people to see them for who they are.

Accelerationists are bad people.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They are merely voting for their own self interests.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yet they talk online as if it’s a virtuous choice

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Centrists abandoned virtue when they supported a genocider for some perceived tactical advantage-- whether you're voting trump or Harris. They should be doing that with their eyes open and acknowledge that cost. Arab voters arent supporting a genocider when they vote third party or uncommitted.

You want to claim that any vote besides Harris is a vote for Trump. I supoose if people want to ignore a gencoide (like you probably do) they might as well ignore any respect for the concept of democracy and representation as well (like you probably do). Centrists are running out of things to sell out on, and running out of supporters to win the election-- and its not a coincidence that selling out and supporting a genocide will coincide with losing.

Arabs didnt leave the democratic party, the party left them. For some AIPAC donations.

How's that incrementalism working out for you? By all measures it's helped shift your party to the right.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Solidarity could help shift it left. But accelerationist have no desire or idea how to make things better. Always easier to destroy than build.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Accelerationism aims at putting fascists into power; thus it is a species of fascism.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago

Liberals also called civil rights accelerationism, labor rights accelerationism, any actual progress that has to fight government to progress is considered accelerationism.

Then after those rights have been won, liberals jumped on the bandwagon as if they always supported them. Liberals, like MLK said, are the largest stumbling blocks to progress

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

People refuse to come to terms that incrementalism is also a form of violence against the poor and working class. It only works if you have resources or peace in your area of living.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

The only thing they know is violence. Poverty is violence, lack of health care is violence, stagnant wages is violence, homelessness is violence. Democrats, along with their Republican counterparts, engage in social murder daily.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

this was the first and only administration on my memory to openly support unions. They've done quite a few things to improve lives. They did help out their rich donors/friends/sympathithers but not even close to the scale POTUS45 done it.

In all honesty both Dems and Reps should go. Country deserves pluralism and not the false duality. BUT right now, at this moment in time Dems are the only real shot at moving forward. After election, start up the grill and hold their feet to fire and FORCE them to change then otherwise rally behind any other party and make damn sure they win next ellection. Doing so at 11th hour is reckless

*Most important election of our lifetime

In the 36 years I've been able to vote, every time it's the most important election of our lifetime. Caused by a self inflicted existential crisis.

We are not doing this at the 11th hour, many of us have been doing it all our lives.
