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!

Wonder if the "From The River To The Sea" "Genocide Joe" folks thought out what them being on network News every night, in the spring and summer of an election year, freaking out the Democratic base, meant when they were doing it, or even when folks were pointing out the danger that it posed in suppressing the Democratic youth vote. Donald Trump won re-election by 2.3%. More Young Republicans, Arab, and Latino Americans voted for Trump then have ever voted for any Republican candidate before in history. Young Democrats didn't vote. Think they'll ever admit to the damage they caused? All the money in my pocket says they don't.
Funding a genocide was more important to the dems then their base, that's what costed the election.
That is some subtle manipulation, as if calling out Joe Biden on his support of genocide is the same as calling for the destruction of Israel. Most sane people are against both Israel's current genocide and any plans to destroy Israel. Israel isn't under threat from anything, they are the agressor. We just want them to stop killing children ffs.
Literal zionist propaganda that has nothing to do with the article itself.
And ideological purity was more important to a bunch of idiots than preventing a fascist who wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza from taking over the US government.
Are we really going to blame voters conflicted about genocide and not the party that chose to make it the main point of their platform?
They are the "good guys". I voted for them but I shouldn't feel ashamed doing so. I expect more from them then Trump lite. They should be held accountable for the shit show they caused.
And we have to be downvoted by these people who are advocating for these politicians that continue to fail to lead.
And for anyone who wonders: I fucking voted for the lesser evil. Fuck off with your holier-than-thou bullshit attitude that does nothing to attract exactly the voters we want: people with conscience.
Joe Biden could have stopped support for Israel.
Kamala Harris could have made stopping support for Israel part of her campaign but did not.
Getting so tired of the people who want to blame voters for failure of leadership.
We elected a maniac-toddler-racist-man-child who has never been accountable for anything. Voters are to blame.
Things are much better for Gaza with Trump suggesting ethnic cleansing. /s
Voters had two choices and picked the worse one.
