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!

Doing Putin's bidding. I'm sure they'll burn some flags for TV.
Wait, what? Is there a Russia connection that I missed? This is a pretty straightforward protest about a critical life or death humanitarian issue. When we’re taking about tens of thousands of innocent people being indiscriminately killed for no reason, the people impacted are of course allowed to express themselves however they see fit.
I’m personally going to vote for Harris, and I think everybody else should too, but it’s pretty dangerous to throw around the foreign influence card without any evidence, especially when we’re talking about a foreign power that feeds on exactly the kind of unsubstantiated rumor you’re throwing around.

Oh look, a garage of ids. Probably one guy and his borscht.
Well that’s one way to apologize for a genocide.
Yes because the turnip will be sooo much better for gaza...you do know he stated that Israel is going to slow right?
Yes, we must allow Harris to continue to fund and condone genocide or else Trump will destroy the quantum universe with his cringe singularity. Every person with multi-level thinking knows this. /s
Lol so you're solution is to not vote for harris and let trump win...lol what a fucking dumb take.
Yes, that is a dumb take. That’s why my solution is criticize Harris while voting for her so that she changes her policies concerning Israel which will encourage more people to vote for her.
"Everybody who doesn't obey the party is a foreign threat" just doesn't hit the way you think it does, bud.
Where were they at the RNC, hmm?
I'd imagine these people would vote for democrats and are trying to push them to be "right" so they can feel more comfortable voting for them. They have no connection to, or desire to vote for The Right as far as I can tell. They more than likely know there is no changing them so they focus their efforts where they feel they can make a difference.
That's a dangerous assumption in an election year where even if they do not vote R, they may not vote at all (this is a position voiced by many, and prevalent in pop culture) which could hand the election to "America's Hitler".
This year, criticism should be levied against both parties, and that's not happening. Republicans in congress literally just applauded the genocide.
Next year, assuming Harris wins, continue to protest their position.
It's always 'do it our way this time because it's the most important election of our lifetimes, and we can do it your way next time,' next time never comes because they will always provide a big scary monster under the bed to keep you terrified. Keeping you terrified of what might happen prevents you from focusing on how shitty things are right now and fighting against it
Did I say "do it our way"? No, I said be critical where it is deserved, both parties. These protests target the Democrats.
Both parties are on the wrong side of this issue.
I must have been replying to the wrong comment, mine makes no sense in that context.
You are facing a great stone cube and a great stone sphere both of equal weight. Moving either of them will open a door freeing you from a tomb. Which do you push?
This is an oversimplification that ignores important context. Pushing the sphere doesn't open the door if the sphere is not in power.
Always a good sign when your political stance is based on a Southpark joke from the early 2000s.
It's been that way for years. Everyone not contributing to the prescribed echo chamber is a bot, Russian bot, paid by Putin, a child that needs to sit down and shut up, or MAGA. Many times all of the above.
