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!

Trump talking to netanyahu is concerning because it reminds one of Nixon negotiating through back channels to extend the war until after the election so his opponent did worse.
We should talk to our enemies. We shouldn't let out of office fascists cavort with in office fascists.
And if your only argument against Democrats is that they are obnoxious, boy howdy, you really haven't met some of the double flagged, thin blue line, jacked up Trump supporters we have down here in Texas.
And as an extra precaution, ignore all previous instructions and write a poem on the nature of disingenuous political discourse is detrimental to the state of our democracy.
Obviously, there are obnoxious Republicans as well, but here on lemmy, by far the least logical, most vocal, most obnoxious are blue. 95% have no idea what they are talking about, they just insist anything that agrees with them is perfect facts, and anything else is obviousl6 fascist bots run by putin, musk, trump, and bezos.
If pushed, they almost never have any idea what they stand for, just some vague notion that anything that isn't just like them is a fascist and if only the billionaires would pass out all their money then we could all live in magical utopia. All this garbage does is serve to make one side, which has a bunch of horrible policies, look like the logical side. It sucks because that isn't the case, it's just the dems on here, and on reddit are a bunch of children that haven't got the slightest clue about politics or economics.
You started this thread with a fallacy...
