Biden wants progressives to believe he’s reining in Israel. He isn’t.

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.

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.

If Trump wins, I really hope you enjoy the unified reich.
Don't blame the voters, blame the candidate if they lose to Trump. It's their job to earn the votes.
Blame those who vote for him and those who refuse to vote because they can't accept the reality of the political system they have to deal with.
If you really cared about saving lives you wouldn't push people to make it so Trump will get elected, you're just pro-Trump but can't admit it.
I blame Democrats for someone like Trump being a viable candidate. Their bullshit 'lesser evil' mentality over 50 years has enabled this result. Instead of holding your party and it's politicians accountable dem voters strike out at anyone trying to do your job, exactly like what's happening with Biden. Voters have allowed their party to continue shifting to the right so much they are to the right of Reagan Republicans.
Stop demanding leftists bail you out of a mess democrats created for themselves.
Don't like the system, stop enabling it
The government is not one person. Are there members of congress, state and local government with whom you align? Do you think they will be more able to have a positive impact under Trump or under Biden? I'm all for criticizing Biden and the Democratic party. I recognize the cynicism of the "lesser evils" cycle we are stuck with when it comes to presidential candidates. I recognize the unfairness of the "if you don't eat the Dems bullshit and vote blue you will be complicit in creating a fascist state where women don't have bodily autonomy." It feels like we are being forced into accepting the Democratic party based on a threat. I won't be threatened. But I will also not make things worse for people out of personal frustration and discomfort. So Biden is another neo-centrist. We know this. And I'll vote for him again because the politics I actually support will have a better chance of doing some good than if I don't vote for him. You can say I'm giving in to the Dems threats but I don't give a shit. Our country has failed to deliver good candidates but I'm not gonna take my ball and go home.
But we all know the reality of any of that happening is none. The exact same discussions we are having right now in regards to wages and housing and education and healthcare we have been having for decades in this country and on many of these issues for damn near over 100 years. The same issues that we are faced with right now with the state of the economy they were faced with those issues during Martin Luther King Jrs era. They lead the public on with promises that we are almost there, but we've been almost there for decades. At this point, hopefully a majority of the general public believe that they are just being led to the polls with a carrot and platitudes of empty promises that will never be fulfilled.
"if you're critical about my teams politician you're just a Trump lover!"
Nobody is allowed to criticize their political leaders in this democracy I guess.
You're perfectly free to criticize whoever you want, but when you're being disingenuous about it, expect to be shat on. You're transparent.
What's disingenuous about posting factual info? What you are really asking for is to stay within the parameters set of the echo chambers
