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!

Why wouldn't she?
Already answered in the above comment.
No? Its an answer for why she says she wants to help Gaza. But once she's elected, even if you think everything she does is just to serve her self interests, why would she continue US support for Israels genocide? She doesnt receive AIPAC funding like democrats do. In fact she's called for them to be registered as a foreign agent.
She won’t do anything. Jill isn’t Bernie. She’s another shill.
And? Read my comment. Even if she's as self serving as you think she is, you still havent given a self serving explanation as to why she wouldnt.
Okay?
Like say, i accuse Harris of saying she'll help Gaza but wont do anything once elected. I can give you a reason that it would be in her interests not to, she and her party receives Israeli backed campaign funding.
But you dont have any such reason for why Stein wouldnt.
I don’t actually remember Harris saying she would help Gaza. She was very firm on her support of Israel. I’m not saying she’s happy about how they are handling things, but she’s not going to cut off weapons and money.
No matter what reason I give you, you’ll argue it. That’s how Lemmy works. You can find it if you try. Additionally her foreign policy that supports Assad, Russia, and Iran raise a lot of questions about her ability to keep US interests above her own.
So you dont have a single reason then
I do. But discussing those with you would be less rewarding than not discussing them with you. Your mind is made up, just like mine.
