Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Yes, surely donald "finish the job" trump will broker peace.

I'm not sure that anticolonialist is saying Trump is a better choice. They might be implying that it is sad that the American populace always has to pick between two choices which cause harm, and I agree that is a situation worth mentioning.

If they explicitly reply with 'Trump is better', I will strongly disagree.

They're effectively saying let's give Trump a chance because Harris, despite having no power, is already doing a bad job. Trump being worse is "hyperbole". It's completely braindead. And I say this as someone who thinks criticizing her lack of opposition to genocide is a good thing.

Biden said is one and only press conference that Harris was 100% on board with every decision made by the administration. So if the administrative decision was genocide in Gaza, she was on board with it. She talked cease fire at one side of her mouth while the US has completed over 1000 weapons drops to Israel, her words mean nothing.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 weeks ago

I don't think Harris was included in anything. Nothing they've done indicates Biden respects her at all. The problem is that if this is not true, she refuses to refute it.

I'm not saying Trump is a better choice. What I'm saying is that the current administration that is causing the deaths of brown people around the world and they need to be held accountable, and they need to be held accountable by people refusing to vote for them. Liberals are willing to overlook a active Holocaust so that their team wins.

The weapons and money being provided by Biden/Harris is allowing them to finish the job right now.
