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!

Trump ain’t gonna do shit for Palestinians. There won’t be a Gaza Strip if Trump is elected. He’ll let Israel take over in exchange for the rights to build Trump tower in Khan Yunis. Hell, in exchange for renaming Khan Yunis to Trump Yunis.
Pretty sure this will happen with Kamala as well, but at least they won't be so straightforward.
I think you’re quite wrong. More “both sides” bullshit. You have a much better chance of having a better outcome with Kamala. Trump 100% does not care about Palestinians. Kamala will at least give some effort to negotiate.
I won't say she won't, but we really can't tell. So far she hasn't said anything that implies she'll do anything different from Biden.
Biden is privately pressuring Netanyahu to knock it off.
I mean, what is your plan? Vote for Trump instead?
I'm not American so to an extent I'm all mouth here, but Biden's private "pressure" is equivalent to not doing anything, because he's not pressuring Netanyahu; he's asking nicely.
If he does too much out loud, the AIPAC lobby will back Trump even more forcefully and Jews backing the democrats may feel less motivated to turn out. Netanyahu already wants Trump to win. Democrats are trying to thread a needle. And, frankly, they need to. There is more than one issue in this campaign. Should we let America fall to a literal fascist, see abortion banned nationwide, or lose another seat on the Supreme Court for 20 years because Biden and Kamala didn’t throw a loud enough fit over Israel?
Democrats, and American Jews, overwhelmingly oppose Israeli support. It's a winning policy with the public that they refuse to take. That aside, they're now losing progressives and Muslims because they're not threading the needle; they're being Israel's lapdogs. Nothing about what Biden is doing is getting Harris election wins.
Would like to see the polling data on that.
I was gonna go look for the data but the other guy beat me to it so just see that.

Biden is a Zionist, it's ideological for him. It's one of his most unpopular positions. Breaking from Biden would be a major gain in voter turnout for Harris. AIPAC can't influence much when the election is less than a month away.
Throw a fit? This is about America's unconditional military support for an ongoing genocide. It's our weapons being used to eradicate an entire people right in front of our eyes. That's what our tax dollars are paying for right now. Nearly 20 billion dollars. Imagine if that went to improving the lives of American citizens instead of the daily bombing of starving children

After what it has been doing in Africa, Asia and South America it would just be karma.
Just as much effort as Biden which would be next to nothing other than strong words in press to save faces and billions of dollars worth of weapons.
At least Trump will not be a hypocrite.
If you think Trump isn't a hypocrite you are delusional.
And weird.
He is a bigot, he is a obvious sell out to the highest bidder.
With Harris it is an open question, with Trump it's a done deal. There is also the difference in how they will treat Palestinian protestors.
