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 would anyone even be surprised by that? We're mad because Democrats see what's happening between Trump and Netanyahu and are doing what Netanyahu wants anyway.
There is a lot more going on in the Middle East than any American citizen can understand. Voting for ANY candidate will not fix it. Even if we voted in a candidate that vehemently opposed Israel, nothing would change. Our military and I intelligence network there is dependent on a strong Israel.
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it except purge congress and get all anti Israel politicians. Good luck making that happen.
"Oh, your feeble anti-genocide mind just can't imagine the vastness of why we have to keep doing everything Netanyahu wants!"
Democracy is on the line. Our singleminded devotion to the right-wing government of a genocidal apartheid state is less important than preserving democracy itself. But not to Democrats.
Look we just have to work with that national socialist party just long enough to get rid of the dirty communists and get the money rolling again and then we can get rid of them.
Like what's the worst that can happen while we give them some power?
They burn the Reichstag down? Ha.
Us liberal conservatives have nothing to fear. We are the obvious choice anyways. Who else could they turn to?
Electoral politics is a fickle thing. If Harris makes a statement either way on Palestine, she will lose.
I just can't seem to understand why nobody seems to get this.
Edit: I honestly can't wait until November 6th when all of these bullshit, brand new accounts astroturfing for third parties and doing everything they can to get the fascist elected, mysteriously disappear.
And if they don't, well, I guess this website isn't for me.
We can't change course, we obviously have to hit that iceberg and then just hope for the best afterwards. What use would turning at all do. Honestly, I think hitting the iceberg isn't even that bad of an idea. The other crazy person we would let behind the wheel would also drive us straight into the iceberg anyways but playing music to cover the screams of horror better.
Everyone screaming about the iceberg is just over reacting anyways. The true iceberg is the one after this one and all the other ones hiding out at sea we will get to after we finish smashing into this one.
Why the fuck is everyone so afraid of change or trying things different.
"This is the way", screw that, we aren't caricatures.
This analogy is incomprehensible.
Just like the arguments that we must simply accept that there is no options other than continuing exactly as is or exactly as is but more proudful.
There is a lot of complex issues boiled down to nothing to do about it other than huge sweeping options or nothing at all and it's exhausting.
She has already made it clear that Biden's policy regarding Gaza is her policy. She has taken sides on the issue already. You just like the side she took.
Some things are bigger than winning or losing, and innocent lives are one of those things.
I agree completely. Which is why we need to do what is in our power to minimize the loss of innocent lives.
And that means doing literally everything we can to stop Donald Trump from becoming president, full stop.
She deserves to lose.
