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!

I'm concerned that people who claim to be leftists, through their ignorance and hubris. Prioritized criticizing the best of the two shitty options available to us, amplifying fascist propaganda. That you along with the fascist media and Democrats, actually convinced many, including Palestinians even. To vote for the fascist thinking he was better or just stay home thinking it couldn't get worse.
Fixing Gaza wasn't on the ballot. Making it worse was. As was making Ukraine worse. As was destroying civil rights at home. All things you helped achieve through your ignorance and gullibility. The reason we can't have nice things or left leaning governments. It's because we have to expend so much effort try to stop you all from hurting everyone that there's none left over to actually make progress. Or move anyone leftward.
Even now you're still here trying to cope with your bad decisions. Beating a dead horse. As an actual fascist makes literally everything worse. And Biden was a f****** disappointment and an ignorant liberal. As was Harris. The fact that you think you're any better is laughable though.
Who do you suppose I convinced? This is a tiny platform full of hostile pro-genocide centrists.
Like you.
I'll never convince genocidal centrists to give up the only thing that gives them any pleasure in life, and you know it.
You just want silence from anyone who doesn't support your genocide.
Your whole approach incentivizes that line of thinking. You already have convinced those that mattered and you have not achieved your stated goal.
More genocide is happening and the US is less equipped to deal with it as a direct result of you and others like you exerting influence on this discourse. Stop debating semantics and start observing how little you have helped.
I summoned another one.
