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!

Reminder: it is a year out before the general Presidential election. General public sentiment can change in less than a week (see GW Bush's approval before and after 9/11). These polls are meaningless.

not to mention... that Americans that are unhappy with biden/democrat response... are likely extremely unhappy with the republican response. It's not like democrats exist in a vacuum. (which is part of the problem. Democrats only have to be less awful than republicans... which is like saying you only have to be less awful than hitler. low bar.)

Smart. Blame the guy who pushed Israel into allowing humanitarian help and observing international law, don’t go vote and get the guy who wants to ban you from traveling for the color of your skin.

Blame the guy who pushed Israel into allowing humanitarian help and observing international law,

He shouldn't be supporting Israel's genocide period. Now he's still better than the republicans, but still.

Also how is Israel observing international law? Their actions have literally been declared a warcrime by the UNHRC.

We are blaming the guy that's funding and condoning genocide. When faced with the same thing, Reagan called and got a cease fire out of Begin in 1982. When Genocide Joe is to the right of Reagan he's clearly in the wrong

Bruh. Imagine Reagan doing a good thing.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's support among Arab Americans, who are crucial voters in battleground election states, has plunged from a comfortable majority in 2020 to just 17%, a new poll shows, amid growing anger over the Democratic president's support for Israel's attacks on Gaza.

These voters have traditionally voted for Democratic candidates and are prominent in hotly contested states like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, that could decide the 2024 presidential election.

Only 20% of Arab Americans would rate Biden's job performance as "good," the poll showed, with 66% reporting a negative view of the president overall.

Majorities are concerned about rising antisemitism (67%) and anti-Arab bigotry (78%), and 59% report experiencing discrimination, a jump of 6% since the last poll in April.

The poll showed that 45% of Arab Americans were concerned about their personal safety due to the recent violence in Israel and Palestine.

Medical authorities in Gaza on Tuesday said 8,525 people, including 3,542 children, had been killed in Israel's three-week-old air and ground onslaught.


The original article contains 430 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Everyone knows that polling is wrong if it doesn't agree with your world view. For instance, this article say 66% of Arab Americans have a negative view of Joe Biden, but they failed to ask how there opinion would differ if he was wearing little boy shorts like Christopher Robin from the Winnie the Pooh books. They also mentioned nowhere what people thought of his dog that keeps biting secret service agents. With bias so clear I think we should clearly not speak about this matter at all until in 6 months its all we speak about.
