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!

I still wonder how many idiots will not only vote for donnie (or sit out) because of Gaza, or - just as stupidly - vote for donnie because "Bidenflation" and little d's supposedly "great policies" I keep hearing he supposedly had.
If genocide isn't your red line you are not a good person. Had this happened under Trump, liberals would be demanding action instead of demanding a vote for the condoner of those deaths.
i don’t know if you know this, but Biden isn’t president of israel or gaza
But Biden controls the purse strings of the money going to Israel and the weapons being given to them to commit genocide
No he actually doesn't. That's not how your country works. Congress controls the purse strings.
The president controls the foreign military financing program
There are degree's of response to genocide. If you think you Trump will have a harsher response towards Israel's genocide than Biden, then you should definitely vote for Trump or not vote for Biden.
But make no mistake: not voting for Biden isn't a condemnation of Biden's response to the genocide, it's an endorsement of how you think Trump will respond.
I dont give a fuck what Trump might do, he's not the one allowing it to happen right now.
Are you gonna give a fuck what Trump might do in 12 months?
When it comes to that I will be just as critical of Trump as I am Biden. Neither party gives a fuck about their constituents.
Exactly, you're right; this is exactly why we need to do everything we can to make sure Trump doesn't win. Really good point.
Right now, that means voting for Joe Biden.
You vote for genocide, I'll keep my conscience clear.
Biden when people protest at his events: Maybe possibly sometime in the future I should look into this potentially maybe. Trump when people protest at his events: sends in unmarked police officers with military equipment and federal backing to arrest anyone they want for no reason in the city the protesters might be from.
I like having a President that allows me my Constitutional Freedoms while protesting for change so I can continue bringing the topic up until something happens.
