The closing night of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday drew about 26.2 million TV viewers, narrowly outpacing the Republican National Convention's final night, according to data from the media measurement company Nielsen.

The convention's final night aired across 15 television networks and drew about 820,000 more viewers than the estimated 25.4 million people who watched the final night of the Republican event, Nielsen reported.

Did she say it would make the "desert" bloom by donating money to plant trees in Israel? Wow what an uninformed prick who was bought into Zionist propaganda :/

At the end of the day, what really happens is that Israel burns orchards and trees of Palestinians so some politician like her (whose two main strenthas now are 'knowing how to meme' and the mandatory 'not being trump') can come and say crap like that.

I feel sorry for Americans who are forced to vote for this genocide-driving politician with fake compassion because the alternative is more horrendous. I feel sorry for them because even though they may oppose the genocide, they have absolutely no way to pressure their candidate of choice to stop funding it with weapons.

Kamala, take those fucking trees and put them up your ass.

why did you inflict that on me. no, i appreciate that, because I want to be fully aware of what carnage and horror i'm voting for. but if you go vote for Jill Stein or whomever, you're voting for Trump. you are wasting your vote.

But how can Americans pressure their candidate into not committing literal war crimes? It seems almost impossible to do that a year before the election (when things matter the most and candidates can make promises).

i do not know. I know that supporting Stein will not change anything. if you have an obscene amount of money, you might get an audience with the right person to say, "Hey! stop the genocide!". and they will ask, "how much?"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
