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!

ML: It’s necessary to stop Harris from genocide!!! Trump is better! . . . Haha, it’s all just to crush the west, I don’t care about Gaza at all—oh shit who left the mic on?!
Centrists see that first sentence, get mad that their only policy is under attack, and assume the second sentence follows.
You sure do like that comment format.
Vague comment with the word centrist.
Yes, if I'm not responding to the entire comment, I quote what I'm responding to. It's kind of the normal thing to do if you want to be clear about what you're responding to.
I don't know what you found vague about my comment. I thought it was pretty clear. I can explain it to you if you would like. You see, when a centrist sees someone say that Harris should reconsider the US' unconditional support for Netanyahu and his genocide, they become angry. This is because, unique among all policies that centrists claim they support, genocide is the only one they don't immediately abandon when they encounter pushback. It's their only actual position. So when someone attacks that position, they're attacking the entire centrist platform, which centrists equate with being a trump supporter.
I hope this was clear enough for you.
Ahhh, so you’re saying ML are centrists.
You seem determined to be confused. I'll not stop you.
Oh I’m not confused.
Just pretending to be.
Clearly you’re the confused one now.
I made my position clear and you pretended it was contradictory to what I said.
No your position was pretty vague. I’m accusing ML of pretending to care about genocide when it helps their cause, but when it comes down to genocide in countries pretending to be communist, they deny deny deny.
But apparently you disagree with me. I’m guessing you also don’t think china has a problem with Uyghurs. Tiananmen Square? What’s that???
Lame.
