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!

MOST Republicans DIRECTLY support genocide. Genocide Joe just happens to be a spineless Democrat around someone doing a genocide. OFC a spineless Democrat is going to fail at standing up to a fascist piece of shit, but it IS NOT the Democrat's fault Republicans and fascists exist...
Be mad at them for the correct reasons, you numpty.
Not wrong, but namecalling goes too far.
Joe Biden did not need to circumvent congress twice in order to support Netanyahu's genocide. No one was clamoring for it. No one would have blamed him if he didn't.
37 Senate Democrats voted against placing conditions on aid for Israel.
If Democrats don't want people saying they support genocide, they should quit supporting genocide.
Yes. Notice how the Republicans would just openly support genocide in Gaza AND pull out of Ukraine.
The point IS NOT that Democrats are somehow "good". I never said that. In fact, I say the opposite all the time. My point is they're still better than the Republicans, and any attempt to imply otherwise is pure stupidity.
Why do you want to engage in stupidity?
Democrats' genocide is more moral than Republicans' genocide. Congratulations. Democrats should not be supporting genocide and until they stop, those that do should be treated with the contempt they have earned.
But instead you're calling me stupid for criticizing them.
No one is supporting genocide here. I literally said the Democrats are not good... Why do you insist on strawmanning everyone? Are you a child or just an edgy moron?
So why are you calling me stupid for criticizing the party to which I belong because I don't want them supporting genocide? I gave examples of Democrats doing just that. You ignored that and started slinging abuse. I doubt you'll ever stop.
I can criticize Republicans on this, but them being fascist shit on their best day has never been in question.
You are constantly assuming the positions of those you are talking about and to.
I said Democrats support genocide. You started calling me names immediately. I gave examples, you added additional insults.
If you don't support genocide, why are you so combative towards those who don't want Democrats supporting genocide?
