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!

He's getting ready to speed up the genocide
We better elect Biden so we can have incremental death? Both are Zionist pieces of shit not worthy of holding office.
BoTh SiDeS amirite? GTFO
There are not 2 sides, there are 2 right wing factions each skinning a cat and telling everyone their method is best
Don’t cut yourself on that edge
Yikes...
This nuance will surely change how America handles elections.
/S
Yikes! They’re not wrong.
Yeah! Why go for incremental death when we can just kill every other person as fast as possible! Thanos 2024!
Thanos did nothing wrong, and I can prove it.
Agreed, but the next President is going to be either the guy who is supporting Israel because he wants the money or the guy who is supporting Israel because he loves their authoritarianism and wants to bring it here.
And in either case, unless voters stop the bleeding, Democrats will always have an authoritarian figure dangling over their head as a threat to their rights so they can remain in power. So 50, 60, 70 100 years from now we can keep having the same conversations where nobody is making enough money. Nobody can afford housing. Nobody has health care. Nobody has access to education, while they continue blaming the other side as to why nobody has any rights.
In this case, the Republicans are to blame as they block everything in the Senate and have loaded the Supreme Court to rule against things like fair and honest congressional districts and student loan relief.
Instead of punching left every chance they got, democrats should have been holding their politicians accountable. They are just as much to blame for current political problems as those Republicans you mentioned.
You're telling on yourself here bud, I think you need to go back to history class. You can't just throw away all nuance by framing a strawman. It is absolutely not black and white like that and there is absolutely a lot more at play then just money or authoritarianism, namely history.
That doesn't change the fact that the next President will be either:
Self proclaimed zionist, Joe Biden:

The literal pro-Genocide candidate, Donald Trump:
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trumps-hardline-position-us-policy-gaza-matters-rcna150391
“We have to let Israel complete their war on terror. It’s a horrible thing, but they have to do it.” Trump added that Israel must “clean out the cancer.”
There are no other viable candidates. The only thing stopping one of these men from becoming President is a massive health event.
Should it be Trump, things will not only be devastating for Gaza, they will become a nightmare here:

"Trump compares political opponents to 'vermin' who he will 'root out,' alarming historians"

"Trump Is Planning to Send Kill Teams to Mexico to Take Out Cartel Leaders"
This is why it's contingent on everyone who cares to hold their nose and vote for Biden. The alternative is a disaster.
