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.

Cool, now do Greg Abbott.
That's the spirit! He's such a strong supporter of Israel some might say they planted him. (please laugh)
The official dedication of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem took place on May 14th. Governor Abbott supports this decision that further solidifies our important partnership with Israel.

Cool smear attempt.
I don't care.
You don’t care that a possible Dem leader supports genocide?
They never have, these freaks were shushing anyone criticizing genocide joe until he got shuffled offstage due to him being bad on tv and they immediately rallied behind kamala. Not even calling for primaries or anything, the dems said "this is who you'll vote for" and thats all they need. They are the dems most whipped dogs and would vote for mussolini if the dem leadership told them it was their best chance to beat trump. They might complain about it, but will always end their complaints with their pledge of loyalty "its still better than trump"
Man those GOP/russia plants really don't want Newsom to succeed
2008 was nearly 20 years ago
California Governor Gavin Newsom with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Israel, 2023.
Please read this article. You can double check all the info, but they are correct.
Not defending Newsom, just wanted to point out that what you posted was very old.
I have no interest in reading your article thanks.
I’m not attacking him, just posting some facts some people might be interested in. Many people regard this conflict as a test for US politicians, it’s always good to know more.
why? It’s just information, if fake I would like to know too.
Im extremely confused what this has to do with gerrymandering.
The campaign to smear anyone that challenges republicans has started already.
It may not have anything to do with Republicans. The commenter may just be one of the losers that cares more about the Israel issue than letting a fascist and his fascist party take over our nation.
That’s most of them from my experience. Same result at the end of the day either way.

Gavin Newsom is a distraction. There won’t be any more elections.
And so the gerrymandering would lead to further genocide? I believe you may be conflating two G words.
No, of course no. But the gerrymandering laws are related to elections. Trump has been, for a long time, clear about it. There won’t be any more elections. He is a dictator.
Gavin Newsom knows this, like every Democrat, this is not about elections or gerrymandering or talking though to Trump. This is a distraction from Epstein and Gaza.
This is my opinion. If it was a smear campaign, as you can see, I failed spectacularly. Do you think I can smear Gavin from lemmy? Who is being smeared here?
I think for some reason you're putting the fascist cart before the horse, and it strikes me as incredibly unnecessary just yet.
I know, it seems too soon to judge and unnecessarily discriminatory towards any Dem running. I get the sentiment… but these last few years taught me to always consider worst case scenario.
did you see who the AIPAC funds? It’s basically the whole us political class, all of them. I need to draw a true red line.
Well, you see, the commenter straight up lied when they said "I'm not attacking him". So with that in mind, it makes more sense that he'd post something that has nothing to do with gerrymandering.
There won’t be fair election in the US anymore. Newsom is a distraction from Epstein and Gaza.
Are you making similarreplies to posts about conservatives? Or are you only try to sour peoples views of democrats? I see a lot of "what about Israel" posts any time a democrat is mentioned. But those same people don't seem to give a damn that republicans are not only doing the same or worse with Israel, but also trying to destroy America.
The destroy America is what this whole post was about, and for some reason you felt compelled to bring up Israel. And I have no problem saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and the US is not only complicit, but seeming encuaging it, but that has nothing to do with this post.
“Conservatives” right now are extreme fascists. They talk like nazi, act like nazi and support nazism openly. There is no point in telling a nazi he is one, he knows it and he is proud of it. I try to appeal to a reasonable audience, yes.
People (me included) are genuinely concerned about the involvement of Israel in the US.
If you are a democrat and are expecting a blue wave of votes with Newsom like it happened with Mandami, you will be disappointed. Just like it happened with Kamala.
People do care about this, polls shows it’s their number 1 issue right now. This whole Newsom show about talking though and drawing maps is a distraction from Epstein and Gaza.

Of all the other criticisms people have had of Newsom, you're only posting about his relationship with Israel. This suggests an ulterior motive or a bias on your part.
Look at their post history, astroturfing alt account masquerading as a social media profile.
