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!

No one is saying they're worse, just that "better than trump" is still supporting a genocide, refusing refugees and cutting off valid humanitarian aid based on propaganda from the genociders and not undoing it...
Again, no one is saying he would be...
Just that Biden is illegally supporting a genocide and if he had an R by his name other people would demand he face consequences and the US stops supporting a genocide.
You're literally inventing a strawman to be mad at...
Which we all give Vance shit for...
Well no we are also demanding that the current admin stop and face consequences for its action. We just know that Republicans would gleefully do worse and anyone pretending that is not the case is operating with a malign agenda. Its pretty straight forward.
Thank you for jumping in with a bit of a different but reasonable perspective. I'm not sure why I even stepped into this cesspool.
Does that "we" include Harris or any Dem not named Sanders, Talib, or AOC?
It's weird I have to keep saying this:
Literally no one is saying that Trump wouldn't be worse here...
I'm saying if you think trump is so bad that we can't criticize Biden for breaking multiple US and international laws to support a genocide and remove aid from it's victims...
You're still supporting a genocide
You can say genocide is unacceptable and trump is unacceptable. Especially since Biden isn't even the nominee anymore.
Drink every comment givessomefucks has the word genocide in it
Look, fuck Netanyahu and fuck Hamas for starting all of this. It is cold and heartless to a degree yes, but there are political nuances that you clearly don't care about. I'd rather do everything we can within the current political reality than be right like Jimmy Carter and for the Dems to basically lose all political agency for the next decade plus. Right now I am lucky enough to say that and be so caulous. I hope my family and I can still do so after the inauguration in January. I hope we don't have our own concentration camps of immigrants in our backyards.
Hamas didn't exist in the 1800s, they didnt start this. But I am glad you "people" finally admit you have no empathy or think of people outside yourself; I was getting tired of hearing the lie that liberals are more caring than other conservatives
No one called themselves Palestinians back in the 1800s in the Ottoman Empire either. But yeah man, you got me dead to rights. Great Job.
They did, Palestinians have called themselves that since Roman occupation. Palestine, phalistine before it, has been a recognized name region for longer than Christianity has existed, much less the word ottoman or around 80% of modern hebrew words. Israeli education really is some of the worst in the world, right under american education.
Removed, civility.
"modern Arab"? What kind of racist ass white supremacist nonsense are you people pushing now? Palestinians the current and past population are semites, specifically a majority are genetically Jewish. Palestinian, as an ethnic supergroup is compromised of hundreds of ethnicities, all of whom have been called Palestinian longer than the concept of Israel as a nation has been kicking around white colonials heads.
https://www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/232306 Here's a source for you. Go rave at them for being white supremacists. Or not. At this point IDGAF.
Your source uses none of your words, has an entirely different point, is on a different subject, and most importantly refutes the point you thought you made. Again, your education standards show themselves to be the worst in the modern world.
Lol, k dude. "Sporting a dark suit and fez, he always seemed to have a cigarette dangling from an ivory holder. His name was Khalil Baydas (1874–1949), and he was the first Arab to use the term “Palestinian” in the modern sense of the word." -First paragraph. I guess all the education talk was self projection, as your reading comprehension is abysmal.
Read beyond the first paragraph and try again little buddy, also the author of this particular article is NOT using Palestinian as an ethnic term like you are.
So sad.
So you're saying that because trump exists...
We can't criticize Biden for breaking multiple US and international laws to support a genocide and removing aid from it's victims?
You do you I guess....
But I dont have time for people who think genocide is acceptable under any circumstances
The first and foremost rule of first aid is to ensure your own safety first. Same rule applies here. Hope your righteousness doesn't bite you in the ass, I truly do.
Ironic that you're saying other people are the ones inventing stuff.
There's the Lehey Law and it's amendment that says if a country can't prove their weapons aren't used for war crimes we're not allowed to give them weapons.
Biden has ignored evidence US munitions are used in war crimes, and went around Congress to unilaterally facilate a sale.
Thata not all of it, but I doubt we're going to have a constructive discussion about why you believe that's not illegally supporting a genocide.
