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!

Who do I think would give Israel weapons to commit genocide better? Is this a genuine question?
We’ve established that they already have the weapons and the money. That ship has sailed. Who as an American president could better handle this situation? The situation being, stop Israel from slaughtering the Palestinians you pretend to care so much about.
Nobody, this is as American as Apple pie lol.
Commit atrocities and then spend decades apologizing for it until its just another disgusting footnote in history.
Look. I’m with you. America doing or assisting war crimes is unconscionable. It feels insane in this day and age to see them not taking a stand against an active ethnic cleansing. Almost the entirety of the fediverse is all for holding politicians accountable.
But what’s your purpose here? Why specifically start fights with this group on this post? What is your end goal?
To be honest? I think it scratches some disgusting itch I have to argue with people. Maybe I enjoy going against the grain. I used to argue myself stupid with trump supporters on reddit.
Look at my normal takes on /politics and see how many downvotes they get. Its the same feeling I used to get arguing with them.
I know it's bad for my stress level, but sometimes I just can't help it. I'm just trying to pass the time in the woods.
Fair enough.
Just Ftr, no one here is against you. It’s just that there are more appropriate places to bring that argument.
Eh, I think humanity is a net negative and should go extinct. Most people are against me.
That's fine.
Aka: you are a troll.
Eh, maybe an American will get disillusioned with the system and become radicalized. I'll get my itch scratched, and some positive change will have come to the world.
