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!

if it wasn't for the whole, bypassing congress to sell weapons to a country actively engaged in genocide... i'd say biden is the clear winner...
...
but now they're going to beat that horse to death, and i can't personally justify it...
except that trump would've done worse...
The fact that Trump would have done worse is a pretty good counterpoint.
You have one candidate who says hey Israel you should start pulling back.
And then you have another candidate who admires dictators and their totalitarian policies, who's a rapist.
i just don't think any trump supporters will believe that...
plus the whole joe smelling little girls hair thing, they all consider him a rapist, and trump was a witch hunt....
i've already seen "genocide joe" being thrown around...
i mean, how did we go from fighting a genocide in Ukraine, to supporting a genocide in Palestine?
i'm starting to think we're fucked now, and this is what fucked us.
trump is a billion times worse, but that's hard to argue when biden has already actually armed a genocidal regime in Israel...
That is a load of silly nonsense.
We didn't go from anything to anything.
The US supporting Israel in its invasion of Palestine has been happening for 70 years.
Yes, ignorant conservatives call people childish and inaccurate names, this should not be influential to your decision making.
Trump is a rapist, Biden is a centrist politician leaning left during his first term.
You can either vote for Trump, a rapist who does not care about hurting people, or for Biden, a center politician leaning left in his first term whose responsible and sometimes progressive presidential policies have inarguably benefited the United States and its citizens, and lent stability to the global neighborhood.
you lost me right here.
the support of isreal hasn't been 100% consistent the last 70 years. and israel's genocidal actions haven't been static either.
there was a very significant development and increase in hostilities. Congress votes to not give them weapons, the white house, under biden, bypassed that and is selling them weapons.
at the exact same time, they just stopped giving weapons to ukraine.
you're silly to pretend like that's not significant.
i bet Trump calls biden "genocide joe" 1,000 times in the next year...
it's silly nonsense to pretend like a reasonable measured response is going to be relevant in the next election.
trump called Biden sleepy joe more than a thousand times last election and still lost the presidency even before trump was found liable for rape, insurrection and fraud.
You're giving way too much power to bullies calling names.
trump calls people names because he doesn't know what he's talking about or understand any of the issues, so he uses silly names that attract lazy listeners who avoid critical thinking.
Just because you like alliteration doesn't mean you should vote for a rapist, or that the rapist knows what he's talking about.
And you are factually incorrect about Israel.
Yes, Israel's Palestine occupation and extrajudicial civilian execution policy has been consistent since the founding of Israel.
Hospitals and schools and civilian centers weren't just bombed last year, this is not a new development, Israel has been bombing hospitals and schools in Palestine for decades.
so either you're a complete idiot, or refusing to discuss within the constraints of reality....
either way, completely pointless to talk to.
p.s. have you ever heard the term ceasefire?
jesus fucking christ, no it has NOT been consistent and yes it has escalated QUITE A FUCKING LOT LATELY!!!
do you really not fucking get that?
it's not the only time, but lately it's been dramatically more violent than as of recently.
it's not about name calling, are you being deliberately obtuse?!!?
Given your constant errors and misjudgments about the history of Israel, Palestine, and US involvement therein, you should give up.
Or, suggestion: read.
I'm being deliberate.
The success of trump is about name-calling, you can't see that because name-calling deeply influences your perceptions, saddling you with a blind spot.
You do remember that you brought up how important his name calling is, I assume? If not, look up.
touch grass
Yes! Good idea.
Go for it, I'll eagerly await your enlightened return.
oh what a surprise, still pretending like im saying things im not... still completely out of touch with reality...
hey look, there's a brontosaurus outside your window! go pet it!
You said "touch grass".
Then you scurried through my comment history replying to all of my comments in other communities.
I agree that you should touch grass.
That's exactly what you said. You really are confused,, aren't you?
i checked your comments to see if you're constantly insulting and demeaning in every other comment... and you are, troll
Ask, and receive.
Lmao wow you are a severely misled individual. I hope we never meet lolol
you sound like a bot, with your absolutely generic insult
100100101001
Oh yes, anyone who doesn't agree with you is automatically a bot. The hallmark of someone without an actual argument.
Lmao wow you are a severely misled individual. I hope we never meet lolol
We'll never meet here again, that's for sure! ;)
"The success of trump is about name-calling"
-you
you're not even self consistent, troll
Yes. I say the same thing when I refute your incorrect points and maintain my correct points.
This is the definition of consistency.
you directly contradicted yourself, and you're actually too stupid to understand that?
wow!
Yes, it is strange how you don't seem to understand direct logic. That must be very difficult for you.
well that's insane
and then you have a lot of other potential DNC candidates who are like "Look, lets be on the right side of history, here"
Which is why one of the many reasons.... because AIPAC can't have that...
and now bypassing congress to bomb Yemen/Houthi rebels....
