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!

Ok, so (assuming you're american) I can call you KKK then, right? Same thing innit?
Did I miss when America elected the KKK? I'm not American, I might have not seen that on the history Channel....
So not the same thing, not even remotely close to the same thing.
"Palestinians elected Hamas" isn't the gotcha that you think it is. Palestine hasn't had a free election since 2006, when Hamas postured themselves as the moderate party against the liberal Fatah, who were embroiled in a corruption scandal at the time. As soon as Hamas took power, they shifted to fundamentalism and ceased elections.
There are people living in Palestine right now who have never had a say in their own government because they weren't born when the current regime took power.
I'm not saying it as a gotcha, I'm stating it as a fact. Hamas is Palestinian, made up of Palestinians and currently representing the Palestinian people to the world.
It's not wrong to say Hamas is Palestinian, it's 100% accurate and truthful.
Hamas existed well before they were elected, their founding Charter is based on Islamic jihadism. You're not so ignorant as to believe that the people of Gaza weren't aware of this when electing them, and if you are then please get off tik tok and touch some grass.
