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.

No, just the ones who expect perfect worshipful silence when those we're expected to vote for keep selling weapons for genocide.
The ones who sling accusations of being a trumper/russian/bot as soon as anyone says that Netanyahu is less than god incarnate and that the US should not be selling weapons for genocide just to prop up the political career of a genocidal fascist.
Right, only you are allowed to sling accusations. And if anyone calls you a MAGA it is because they are genocidal. They should have known from the context of you writing the exact same thing as the people who "couldn't possibly vote for anyone but Jill Stein" that you are both against the genocide and know that Donald will be worse.
Maybe you shouldn't assume that anyone who disagrees with you is a trumper. But then again, why would you do that? It might mean treating people who think genocide is wrong with some respect, and you have no respect for anyone but Netanyahu.
Case in point. It's not "everyone who disagrees with me," it is specifically disingenuous trolls. You see it as everyone because there is little difference between a troll and yourself.
You write some of the exact same shit as the LARPing Trumpers. Everyone is genocidal unless they agree with absolutely everything you say and do. In fact the only difference between you and them is when you get questioned why Donald is preferable. Then it is "oh, I am voting for Harris, though."
It makes more sense to assume you are indeed a MAGA trying to depress turnout and only lying about your vote to avoid criticism. Truly disgusting how you live a life of deceit. Utterly despicable that you choose to use this to support Repubs expansion of conflict and genocide.
You assumed that I was a trumper the instant I said anything against genocide, and you do so to anyone who disagrees with you on the subject.
Since you have chosen to call me a liar and a trumper, why should I give you the benefit of the doubt should you ever claim that you don't support genocide?
I certainly did not. I have seen your pattern of behavior calling everyone who even slightly disagrees with you a genocidal Netanyahu stan. That is what I am commenting on, not the isolated incident of you doing it yet again. Not the strawman you are whining about "I'm only saying genocide is wrong." You are behaving as the other LARPers do. Constant trolling intentionally to provoke arguments.
You are therefore a liar and a MAGA, as proven by your own behavior regarded with your own standards of evidence.
I don't give the slightest fuck what a MAGA thinks of me. Go give your benefit of the doubt to your LARPing far-right colleagues.
What are you gonna call me after Harris wins and you can no longer pretend that the people you hate for not supporting genocide are all maga?
If you say so.
