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!

Good point, I'm sure if we had Donald Trump in office, Israel would stop immediately. There's never been anybody tougher on Israel than Trump. For instance he... checks notes... moved our Embassy to Jerusalem after decades of US presidents refusing to do so and single-handedly set peace negotiations back 50 years.
But I guess when your entire post history is ripping Biden on the Israel situation you can't really do much else or the boss won't pay you.
Sorry when did I mention Trump again?
We're not allowed to criticize israel, remember.
Criticizing israel is antisemetic, or pro-trump, or (insert convenient negative connotation here)
Don't play coy. You know that is the alternative. I agree that it shouldn't be happening. But it doesn't help anyone to act like they don't have a point.
i am not voting for either of them, and no one should.
Then you're voting for Trump.
I said I'm not voting for trump.
I mean to vote for Cornel West. Jill Stein could still win me though
Vote third party down-ballot by all means, because alternatives need a wider base to start taking more of the spotlight. However, the current voting system is a devil's bargain. If you refuse to play the game, you lose anyway.
the only ways i can lose is if a democrat or a republican wins
As Calvin Coolidge said, "you lose."
sounds like the kind of thing someone would say if they were trying to suppress the vote.
a third party vote is just an indirect vote for republicans and their fasciastic fetishism.
Jill Stein? Cornell West?
Certainly you're not suggesting anyone to directly vote for someone that supports israel's Nazi style genocide right?
When the alternative is letting an actual Nazi type leader win, people should be weighing their options accordingly.
Indeed, so don't vote for Genocide Joe or Agent Orange.
Instead vote for someone that isn't a genocidal Nazi.
The alternative to the meme being unfunny? I feel like you're replying to a whole paragraph of text that doesn't exist in the original comment and acting like the original commenter is unreasonable for not knowing what you're talking about. Is there some edit I'm missing here, or can you literally not fathom any statement about something Biden does outside of the context of the election?
Do you unironically believe that this lemmy commenter is getting paid to express anti-genocide views? You sound insane
