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 only care about themselves, and their misguided belief that they are 'doing the right thing' and 'paying back' biden.
if they cared at all about gaza, about the west bank, about palestine and its people, they would have come out in force, and in support of democrats from coast to coast. anything to prevent another trump presidency.
trump was never on their side and will let israel do whatever they want.
just like he'll let russia do whatever they want and ukraine will cease to exist. protest votes, like those in michigan, helped doom ukraine, too.
I'm not going to laugh if trump starts deporting Muslims - including those here legally... but I probably won't feel too bad about it either.
I'll feel bad, along with when they come for all the other immigrant groups who voted for Trump, and eventually for the rest of us.
Now is the time to build coalitions, and work together to confront what is coming.
We keep talking about how to "get through" to voters...
Well, cold reality is a very effective tool, and many people will be regretting their choices in the coming days. We'd be stupid to turn them away instead of showing them we believe in the same core values.
True! All these people so quick to watch those most in danger get carried off knowing they can blend into the fascism state thats coming. It's crazy seeing it with my own eyes.
They’re not going to regret shit until an immigration officer with a military detachment is knocking on their doors.
L*berals will see literal genocide and say "this is ok bc they deserve it for not voting blue no matter who"
Um, a lot of these people voted for Red, accelerated genocide. It's hard to find sympathy for that behavior.
Yeah it sucks having a two party system. Not voting, or not voting blue allowed a party that's more motivated in killing you. Yay. I really hope you don't end up in a camp or worse.
That is such disingenuous bullshit. You need to backup that claim about Democrats advocating for Arab genocide both domestically and in foreign nations. You are full of shit.
