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!

MODERATORS
Adam Schiffs got my vote, Katie Porter threw her support behind Nina Turner in the OH11. Nina Turner went to war with the entire Democratic Party to win that House seat, and then when she lost, blamed Jewish money. These are the sort of things I remember when supporting candidates, and I'll never forget Porter endorsed her over Shontel Brown (who won, then won again in the next election over Turner too, lol). I'll vote for Porter over a Republican, but any Democrat that runs against her gets my vote.
I've always like Schiff from what I've seen on TV etc, especially around the trump impeachments.
However a couple of months ago when Threads was a thing (maybe still is? Idk) he was one of the few people I followed for the week I checked it, and he did a TON of brown-nosing to Israel that I found very off putting.
Came back with a couple Screenshots
This was the one that got me the most, posting about how Israel is the only Democracy in the ME and not a racist state, then like two days later trying to score points by posting a memorial to Nelson Mandela.
I don't necessarily believe that supporting Israel makes you a bad person , but there's some messed up mental gymnastics going on here. If you know enough about Nelson Mandela to make the second post, you know what apartheid looks like and you'd have to be willfully ignorant to look at Israel today and not see the similarities.
