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!"

I mean if the felonies didn't change your mind... Maybe the smell will? XD
If genocide didn't change your mind....
yeah this is a comment that makes sense coming from an account named "anticolonialist"
Imagine genocide not being someone's red line and trying to call out people opposed to it.
well i mean, there is no confirmed genocide, only suspected genocide, and if we're arguing that this is an environment for genocide to take place, i would agree with that, but i would stop short of confirming it because i'm not a court and i don't know the law surrounding genocide in a military context, so i don't know anything about it.
I just thought your username was funny lol
Danald Tramp never would have sent weapons to Israel, you’re right!
You're speculating on what might happen while ignoring what's going on right now.
No, I'm going on what Trump and dozens of high level Republicans have very clearly stated about the current war, as well as the long history of Republicans supporting Israel with funds and weapons. That isn't speculation at all.
Yeah, well, you're speculating on what Trump might do by saying 'finish the job.' Biden and Harris are providing the money and weapons for Netanyahu to finish the job right now
Let's see, would Trump be better for Palestinians? To the extent we should work to get him elected versus Harris over this issue? Well, one would have to be incredibly stupid or just a trump supporter or both to think that. Trump would come with a bonus of a few different genocides - Ukraine, Central American immigrants to the US, trans people - and absolutely continue finding and supporting Israel. So what's your point exactly?
This isn't about what trump might do, or what you suppose he might do. This is what's going on right now. And if you keep rewarding bad behavior, that bad behavior is going to keep getting worse.
No, this election is about what Trump might do and what a Harris admin would do better. Getting Trump in office to 'not reward bad behavior' makes no sense at all, considering that Republican behavior is beyond abysmally horrible. We don't get many choices in the US, but it makes sense to be pragmatic and not make things worse.
There are choices but voters are terrified of losing the few stale table scraps they get tossed. While they cling to scraps they could be fighting for the whole damn meal
I agree. Absolutely disgusting. And people are even campaigning for Donald specifically so he can "finish the job" in Gaza with the same fervor that he dropped bombs on Yemen. There is no depth to how awful MAGAs can be.
Especially disgusting are the MAGAs cosplaying as leftists. It's repugnant that they pretend they are against genocide when they want pogroms. They see this blood libel conspiracy against Haitian people in Ohio and they want more. They are sick racists actually excited for more killings of the groups they hate.
Ah, glad I tagged this account as having said "Democrat Party" ahead of time.
