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!

It must be nice living in a world where everything is black and white and all the answers are easy. It's not that way in the big chair. Maybe at the student loans deak.
If you having trouble figuring out black and white when a kid cant eat, drink, lose his mom and siblings, maybe burned skinned, or a sniper (admited) shot his kneecap, then maybe you are blind.
Habash was educated at the University of Miami and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
"Should we fund genocide" has an easy answer.
Perhaps you should ask your congressmen. The White House doesn't allocate, it administrates. Even Tariq Habash knows that.
Well, let's address that. My representative supports genocide because she's a maga chud. Her opponent in the last election was Michelle Vallejo, a progressive. Since the Democratic Party would prefer a maga chud to a progressive in any given seat, they cut Vallejo's funding in the last month of the campaign.
But I said that "should we fund genocide" has an easy answer.
I did not ask "are we funding genocide" or "has Biden supported genocide using US funds appropriated by Congress" or "in which branch of government is the power of the purse vested."
"Should we fund genocide" has an easy answer. It has a morally correct answer. That answer is no. We should not fund genocide. It's clear that your answer differs.
Split hairs in support of the Netanyahu/Biden genocide at someone else.
Don't complain to me that your candidate didn't win an election.
I was letting you know that your candidate won.
I probably don't live anywhere near you, but I can assure you my candidate does not win.
Any candidate that supports genocide is your candidate.
You know me so well.
