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!

Am I getting some whataboutism now?
Why do you post so much about US politics while being so ignorant about them?
Are you aware that Bernie Sanders is anti genocide and is one of the only US politicians bringing up legislation against providing Israel with weapons and denouncing the genocide there?
If there would be any US politician I would expect you to support it would be him, but you're just talking uninformed shit. Why?
LOL
As I explained, he only does these things when he's absolutely sure they will fail.
overwhelmingly
He has NEVER denounced the genocide.
He deliberately refuses to call it that and gets angry when asked to do it.
He NEVER called for a ceasefire.
He NEVER misses a chance to say Israel has the right to defend itself tho.
And NEVER uses the word Israel but "the Netanyahoo government" also deliberate.
I can tell you what he did vote for, recognising Jerusalem as the capital of the genociders.
Who's ignorant here?
Who are you to say he only does things that he knows will fail? What is your better solution? To never try a single thing and stay silent? Criticize them so every Joe Rogan and Tankie shithead can parrot the same complaints and get yet another fascist elected?
His efforts are leagues beyond what most other American and European politicians have done and he has been consistent.

If any change for the better is going to happen in this world, it's not going to be chasing some perfectionist idealism that will never move beyond forum arguments and Marxist circle-jerks.
In the meantime, I'm going to support people like Bernie, who may be imperfect, but are a hell of a lot better than Trump and fascist authoritarians.
Good luck with your... whatever it is you support. Hard to tell.
Can't wait to see how you Russian propagandists end up. You aren't fooling anyone.
Republicans in charge of America = a stronger Russia and Israel and that's exactly what you want.
Your actions speak for you.
