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!

Jerrrrr nerrr serrrrd
It's like the only word you people know. Back in my day, trolls used to put in effort.
You would mock genocide.
#oneword
Which obfuscatory polite euphemism would you prefer I use?
Well, I would suggest you find something new pretty quickly, because things are changing with Israel. And I know you don't actually care about Israel, you just want to attack Biden.
If Biden ever stops supporting genocide, I'll stop saying he supports genocide.
His statements are starting to change, but his actions have not. Pressure on Biden to cease his support for Netanyahu's genocide may be starting to work. If he actually listens and stops selling weapons that he knows will be used for genocide, I will be fucking ecstatic. Not only because I won't be expected to vote for a man who is actively supporting genocide, but because I want a president who is responsive to progressives' concerns.
I'm the same way about Biden's student loan forgiveness. Up until the day he announced the first attempt, I was sure he was the same Biden who championed the law that made sure people could not discharge student loans via bankruptcy. I was sure he would never change. I'm happy I was wrong. I'm happy he listened to progressives and not centrists. When it was shot down by SCOTUS, he could have given up forever and announced that he tried. He didn't. He had a contingency plan ready to go and has persisted in forgiving what he can with the power he has. This is what I want to see.
If Biden proves responsive on this issue, FUCKING AWESOME!
I have every right to criticize Biden where I think he should improve. Everyone does.
See, pretty much 100% of this comment I agree with -- this is exactly my view. I actually had exactly the same experience where I didn't expect things like student loan forgiveness out of Biden and then was surprised - he's a rich white guy who's worked in Washington all his life; my expectations were quite low.
Oh shit, did you just complement Biden? You're gonna get fired
Or maybe I'm not the person you keep screaming that I am.
That would be nice.
Further interaction with you cannot be productive. I will stop now.
