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.

Oh shut up already with your disingenuous arguments, pretending that trump wouldn't wipe out the Palestinians as he himself claimed multiple times whereas Biden (not kamela) simply hasn't done enough to stop it because if he'd do so, they could lose the election to Trump
So you're admitting Biden and Kamala are supporting a genocide for their own political gain...
How can you support such moral bankruptcy? How is this any different from Nazi rhetoric in 1938? What do you think when you see the victims- the desperate, crying, amputated, starving, orphaned children?
Simple!
First you recognize that things are a little more complicated than your over simplified world view, and then you remember that if it's not them, it's literally going to be Satan's spawn who pretty much said he will just kill them all.
You're against the wall and you have no option. You either vote kamela, or Palestinians are done for.
You speak as if Trump will save the suffering children, why would you think that? And if Kamala doesn't win, we get Trump, not peaceful utopia.
Politics is a horrible game that must be played. Our election has not here presented us with a choice between genocide and peace. We are presented with a choice between one genocide (she hopefully will work to end) vs many simultaneous genocides including against people like myself.
Kamala Harris coming out as against the genocide right now would guarantee her loss and Trump's victory. How does that help anyone?
Trump will not end the genocide of the Palestinian people, he will make it worse and go on to start new genocides. Voting for Kamala Harris doesn't mean you support her every action past and present and all her beliefs, it's merely a strategic choice we as citizens of a democratic republic can make to do what little we can to guide our government in the right direction.
Trump has said he will be very harsh and imprison protesters, if you want to end the genocide of the Palestinian people, how effective will you be from a prison cell?
