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 you?
Typical liberal obsessed with gotchas. It comes from a place where you assume no one has any consistent beliefs or values. That probably says a lot more about you than it does about anyone else.
Yes, of course that was me. And that statement is as true then as now. Trump and Biden's Israel policies are indistinguishable from one another. Trump is just a lot more of a crass asshole about it. You're distracted by messaging rather than actual on-the-ground policy. Trump is a lot ruder, so you assume that his policies are worse on Palestine than Biden's were.
The truth is you can't have higher support than 100%.
Can you name a single Trump policy on Israel/Palestine that Biden or Harris have come out to publicly oppose? Can you name a single one? It's a lot easier for them to do so now as they're not in office. They have far more free reign now than they ever did while in the oval office. If they're not willing to denounce any of Trump's Israel policies today, then it would be brain-dead moronic to assume they would have different policies if they were in office.
This is about the response I expected from someone like you when called out on your hypocrisy.
Biden and his administration regularly condemned Israel for their actions. They also tried to help broker a peace deal. They also floated arms shipment cancellations. All pretty ballsy considering Israel is America's most important geopolitical ally in the Middle East.
These are all decidedly different than "Full speed ahead, and maybe we can turn Gaza into a resort destination after displacing the Palestinians" which is literally Donald Trump's policy, out of his mouth. If you can't see the difference, that's your defective brain at fault.
Sure howabout the annexation of Gaza for a luxury beach resort?
tbh I don’t have a Harris or Biden quote on that queued up, but maybe we could allow that they might, in fact, oppose it.
So you've failed my simple request. Biden is such a Zionist he can't even be bothered to denounce outright ethnic cleansing.
Hint. The reason he can't is that his adminstration made their own attempt to arrange the explusion of the Gaza population. The Biden admin was fully onboard with ethnic cleansing. Trump is just more crass about it. You're distracted by shiny over substance.
Ah, I can see you’re a real wonk who knows what a policy is. Well, since that didn’t impress you and you need more proof you simply can’t find, though Oh how you try, here’s some more:
Policy enough? No? You’re just a little tough customer aren’t ya! Okay howabout
No still, huh? Boy, it’s like you’re just not able to be convinced somehow. Well, what the hay howabout

So there’s a little bit of insight into your beloved leader’s policies which I feel pretty comfortable in saying Harris/Biden would disagree with.
Since you’ll just take this link-beating with absolutely no humility, grace, or consideration, this will likely be my adieu. But just real quick I don’t know what country you’re from but “liberal” means “left” here so if you’re advocating for some kind of anarchist front or something, you’re gonna be SoL in the US but good luck in wherever you are.
