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!

Saying they are "pro-genocide" is beyond hyperbolic.
These type of extreme, over the top comments hurt way more than help.
Hurt what? The tender fee-fee's of pro-genocide centrists? If they don't want to be called pro-genocide, they should stop supporting genocide. If they don't want to be called pro-genocide, they should stand firm on literally any other issue. But they fucking don't. Everything else is up for negotiation. Everything else is fertile ground for capitulation. Not genocide. That's the only thing centrists won't budge on.
Ugh, your just as bad as Trump and MAGA with these childish comments. Please at least try to have an adult conversation, if your "fee-fees" can manage.
Being "pro-genocide" means they like and want it. That's not the reality, and if you think she really loves genocide you're a lost cause.
And I agree we should fight it, we should stop genocide but right now, which side do you think it's more open to thatb conversation? Because it's not the side that wants to removing voting. So I say get her in to office at all costs to protect democracy and then work to fix that.
I'm just not ready to let the country burn to the ground over this and put us in a situation where we no longer even have a voice to speak out against it. People don't seem to understand what's at risk here in the US and the longer term effects it would have. Was in the middle east and Eastern Europe could become the norm.
there's always a but.
From what I've seen on lemmy, no side is. Of course Republicans are all-in on genocide. Centrist Democrats are openly hostile to the very idea of abandoning support for genocide. Which is why I say that they're pro-genocide. You clearly have more of a problem with that than you do with the genocide itself. Know how I can tell? there's no "but" to negate everything before it.
I'm already voting for her.
How many times do you intend to ignore that I'm voting for Harris?
Yes because nuance exists. We could wipe out life on the entire planet, that would stop genocide. I'm guessing you're in favor of that then, any means justifys the end huh? Or we could maybe take over and enslave both sides, that could stop genocide. You might say "yah but we just turned them into slaves", to which I would say "there's always a but."
This is pure dishonesty. In our convo alone I've said it's bad and we should work to stop it.
While painting her as a horrible person that no and vote should vote for. Unless your saying people should vote for a pro-genocide candidate now.
I dunno, when are you going to acknowledge that while you're still voting for her you can actively turn votes away from her?
When you acknowledge that "pro-genocide" is a selling point on lemmy.
damn right
Harris could easily at this point make her own platform to run on that includes what the voters are asking for
her refusal to acknowledge the voters' concerns is very telling
