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!

>They are driven by their hate of liberals, women and Jews,
i understand hating liberals, but there is no evidence of misogyny or antisemitism in this story.
That makes no sense. They targeted a liberal woman, why cherry pick her liberal status over her female status for their motivation?
Besides, neither makes sense. They went after one of the staunchest liberals in the House by claiming she wasn't liberal enough. That was false and therefore absurd, but there's no evidence they hate liberals.
Far more likely they're just unfathomably stupid.
Stupid people wanting their political representatives to call a spade a spade
Cause these people protesting her aren't liberals. They're hard right Islamists who oppose Israel. Just because they are on the side you agree with, doesn't mean they're good people.
You mean they don't support the Zionist project to drive Palestinians off of their land and claim it for themselves as Israel has done since before the Naqba in 1948? And they want a supposedly progressive politician to call the genocide what it is? Wow, some nutjobs!
The moment you say "Zionist" most people roll their eyes and know exactly what you're talking about. It's like when you refer to a black person as a "thug", we know where your mind is at. May as well go poke eye holes on a white sheet
They know I'm talking about the movement that got early inspiration from the Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist Theodor Herzl in 1896 when he called for the establishment of a Jewish state in either Argentina or Palestine to escape anti-semitic persecution throughout Europe? The movement championed by American Protestant lay worker and businessman William Blackstone in 1891 in the petition he circulated, marking the beginning of the alliance of American Christianity with Zionism? Blackstone, who was motivated by the belief that the restoration of a Jewish state in Israel would signal that the rapture was imminent, and whose petition received the most pushback from American Jews?
They know I'm talking about the movement that was described by Zachary Lockman?:
There's no anti-Semitism or misogyny in the anti Israel, Islamic world, is that what you just said? Lol
no, you're putting words in my mouth. we are talking about this video ambush.
are you saying we didn't go to the moon?
The protesters in thus video are pro Islamist bigots
what makes you think they are bigots or even proislam8at. my impression is they are anti genocide leftists
