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!

Single-issue voters are ignorant to begin with, but failing to help stop another Trump presidency isn't the moral high ground. If you're in that group there's no point polishing your halo, because you are shitting on it.
It's the equivalent of "I can't save everyone, so I'll doom them instead!"
I agree with Michael Moore's theory that this was why many people voted for Trump in 2016. They felt ignored and powerless, so they said okay here, I'll vote for this asshole, see how you like that! It was an expensive lesson that I don't think the Democratic party has really paid attention to. Their response was to rethink their campaign strategies - many of them probably blamed their loss on trying to elect a woman for President - so they regrouped and managed to get Biden elected. But he didn't put any bold ideas forward. All he really did was be a Democrat in the White House instead of a Republican. I don't feel like Kamala Harris is playing that game. She really does want to move forward in a big way and not go back.
So genocide is a single issue to you, like school vouchers or fema funding? I think that says a lot about you. None of it good.
edit: and please, downvote away if you dont agree, But notice how close the election is and how many upvotes this viewpoint has. 28 up to 70 down is what I see at this point. If Harris loses it will be because she flatly ignored this ~30% of of Dem voters.
What part of "Trump is actively sabotaging peace talks" do you not understand?
Please, refer to this chart -
Hey now. Vote for Kamala and you can get genocide, school privatization, and more underfunded climate disasters. You don't have to choose.
Dems of 2024 have fully ingested the Republican platform of 2004. That's why the Cheneys are campaigning for the Harris ticket.
This shit is so fucking dishonest. Go away.
Cheney is campaigning for Harris because Trump is so bad that even the Devil says "Wow, that's fucked up"
Unfortunately, the switch is broken and everyone on that top track is getting railroaded no matter who wins.
Harris has no actual plan to protect any of the above. No more than Biden or Obama did.
Oh yes, I remember living in North Carolina and when Pat McCory's cruelty to transpeople lead to him getting voted out, Governor Cooper just made it even worse because he thought it was funny...
No wait he actually expanded healthcare access for transpeople and repealed the bathroom laws.
Are you completely ignorant of the reality of the situation or are you intentionally trying to depress the Leftist voting block with doomer talk?
I mean its likely trump will continue the genocide for people who managed to flee to the US by revoking the legal status of refugees given he seems to think the word "palestinian" means "terrorist"
The cruel calculus is that Netanyahu wants trump to win.
Do you hold your nose and vote Harris to deny Netanyahu another victory or do you roll over entirely for Netanyahu and let him have an assistant in genocide with Trump? What is the lesser of two evils here?
Netanyahu, at least, will be thrilled to hear palestinians are not voting for Kamala because of him.
We already almost completely deny them. The US has accepted less than 600 Palestinians in the last decade. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/republicans-want-ban-palestinian-refugees-already-hard-get-in-us-rcna120892
