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!

This is like your meth dealer insulting your dental hygiene. Still, it's better than nothing. The timing of this sudden pivot is interesting and makes me wonder if it's really about ethics, but whatever gets Palestinians some relief from this nightmare situation is a step forward.
The Michigan primary protest vote has the DNC scared about the general in November, plus the latest of X atrocities that’s actually getting headline print atm - with no end to the crisis in sight.
Biden has the ability to change the reality for starving Gazans but can’t/won't, however he has sharpened his criticism lately. Stuck between what’s right and keeping AIPAC and affiliated donors on the left side, he’s the ‘bad cop’ atm.
Harris is the ‘good cop’ here in the classic role of Vice President - be seen where the President can’t be seen. She can speak much more freely, because ultimately nobody is going to actually ask her to do anything, but also gets to be a ‘voice within the Administration’ that people can point to.
Some are speculating that DNC will try to push Harris as replacement for Genocide Joe...
Speculation though...
No one sensible is suggesting that. At best this is to build her credibility and publicity in case Biden dies or becomes too infirm to continue serving.
I do agree that this could be DNC PR to build her credibility.
Absolutely, although isn't a major job for the VP to handle international affairs, which this definitely is one?
I just wish we had other choices out there. I'll vote blue and persuade others also because the choice given the voters is bad politics as usual, or insanity. I can vote for Biden/Harris and still hope (with much doubt) for more progressive actions from underneath.
I can't take any "lefty" seriously who is as adamant as you are about propagating the myth that Dore is a leftist.
What are Jimmy dores thoughts on it?
Probably whatever makes him more money.
He first needs to triangulate the opinions of Alex Jones, trump and Tim pool to get to his perfect right wing populist blend.
He is pretty direct on Palestine-Israel.
If he talks about the Flour Massacre the video should be released in a couple of days, I don't think they post too quickly on current events.
Most recent video by TJDS on Palestine/Israel is:
