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
In the UK there are 5 independent MP's who beat both mainstream parties that won just by advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Now if anyone wants to save Democracy it might be time to sack Genocide Joe and run a candidate that actually has popular policies. Because Biden will not beat Trump and that was even before he started adding Geriatric to his list of adjectives.
The irony is that if people don't vote for Biden because of his Israel policy (which has been the policy of every president before him), then Trump will win and then Gaza will be finished.
Like a big graveyard
And then the Israelis will move in, presumably, and the Palestinians will become a scattered-handful ethnicity with no country at all, like the Kurds. Or like the Jews used to be.
But then we can rebuild Temple Mount and establish The Third Temple at al-Aqsa mosque and welcome The Messiah back!
Gaza is already finished what do you mean?
It might be impossible to understand for Biden supporters but some people actually have functional red lines. And Biden crossed them.
Rewarding Biden for this behavior is far worse in the long term than the slightly more evil Trump could be. Thought I doubt Trump would actually be worse on Palestine.
So you would rather enable a Gaza at home over your morals. Great job. OUTCOMES MATTER
When you read the "first they came for" poem, what do you think it means?
A vote for Biden is a vote for Genocide and Fascism to come to the USA in the future.
What's better, fascism "sometime in the future", or fascism in 4 months?
It's like I'm talking to a bunch of CEO's that are incapable of seeing anything else than short term gains.
Unless you're fully bought into the 2025 fearmongering BS, a vote for Biden now means Democrats will learn they can keep doing this in the future.
If this makes Biden lose they will learn that screwing over an entire voter demographic to make Genocide possible is not a viable political strategy.
We arent Europe. Most American Boomers, even the ones who arent republicans, support Israel. Because they're boomers
Suburban boomers are not relevant. Swing voters are the only party that matters. Without them Democrats won't win.
Supposedly Bidens support for israel was because he wants to win the Zionist vote in New York. Strangely everyone found that perfectly reasonable and didn't say anything about how Trump is actually antisemitic (Nevermind that it turns out real Jews actually don't support israel because New York is turning into a Red state right now after Biden got on his knees for Netanyahu)
But using the exact same logic as Biden uses to win Zionist votes, Democrats seem perplexed that Arabs and Muslims aren't going to vote for someone committing Genocide against their people.
Suburban boomers/Xers ARE most of the swing voters
I would love to adopt an European system. I wish .ore people accepted that they have been doing it longer and better. But that whole "we left it behind" thing.
You haven't answered the question. Who else will beat Trump?
Bernie Sanders
God I wish, but no. His time is past.
He isn't dementing yet.
He is older than both Trump and Biden, and we all generally agree both of them are already too old.
He is 1 year older.
Biden is not too old in absolute numbers. He is too old in terms of literally having a mental illness and being unable to function.
Do Democrats not know how aging works too? Not every person contracts an illness at the same age.
Harris, Whitmer, Newsome all poll well.
