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.

Let me know when your behavior has helped a single Palestinian person.
Honest question, has speaking respectfully and calmly helped a single Palestinian person? It's not like the US was listening until the uncommitted votes and the college protests.
Which specific real world protestors are acting as unhinged as this person was? From what I have seen, this behavior is exclusively among online communists, not actual pro-palestine protestors.
Which specific real world protests were speaking calm and respectfully instead of speaking emotionally and attention getting?
Why are you defending a random mentally unhinged person on the internet and equating their behavior with the movement as a whole?
Why do you assume I'm defending them? All I'm saying is you're wrong too, nothing about talking nice got us anywhere, and you must know this implicitly because you refuse to answer my questions with anything but your own detracting questions. Reread my first comment, and try answering it instead of making the conversation about something else.
If you guys can't even be respectful to the people you are in the movement with, than when the movement fails, its probably because of the splintering you guys did.
Why oppose voting uncommitted other than because you support genocide? Legit give me one reason in the entire world to oppose voting uncommitted other than because you want to send the message to Biden that Palestinian genocide doesn't matter/is good
Why behave this way towards other people unless you support genocide?
You aren't doing a damn thing to help Palestinians, you are just treating random people terribly and feeling good about yourself because of it.
I
Hey look, it's a liberal genocide supporter deflecting rather than owning their shit views!
Why bother being quiet about it? Why not say it? Or deny it if it's not the case? Because you know that everyone else will know you're a piece of shit if you're too honest about it. Fuck off zionist, know that you're not at all sly about how much you love dead Palestinian children
Again, I advise psychiatry because nothing you have stated towards me is based in reality.
You aren't helping Palestinians, you haven't helped them and in truth, I don't think you are capable of helping them, which explains the impotent rage directed at random people on the internet.
Again, if you don't support genocide, give me your reason to oppose voting uncommitted
I think your uncommitted temper tantrum is doing nothing but putting gay and trans children within the crosshairs of Republicans and I think when you get your way, you're going to experience genocide closer to home than you realized.
And your impotent rage will be even more useless than that is now.
Where's the logic there? XD I can't tell Biden I don't want him to support genocide in Gaza bc somehow a vote in a primary that Trump isn't running in will get him elected? I take it back, maybe you are really stupid and you think voting uncommitted will make Trump win, but I'm still betting that you know this and you're just genocidal garbage. Have a shit night, from the river to the sea 🇵🇸💖
You are poisoning the well against a person you are going to vote for in the general?
I don't believe that. Nobody believes that.
You're just a stooge who thinks impotent rage will get you your way. You say your way is to save Palestinian lives, yet by your own admission you have done nothing to help Palestinians.
From top to bottom you are a fraud, and even your psychiatrist hasn't been able to help you learn to hide that fact.
Yea I hadn't thought about it like that before, that's really cool :3
Maybe you hadn't thought about it that way before is because you put yourself in a bubble where anybody who disagrees with you is actively engaged in genocide.
I really hope you get yourself out of whatever you are going through. You probably could be a good ally if you work past this emotional shit.
At least I'm not actively angling for them to get mass murdered like you. I've got a psychiatrist, I bet you'd benefit from one who can help you feel even the tiniest shred of empathy towards genocide victims and not want to kill even more
Does your psychiatrist know you harass random people on the internet and accuse them of things they haven't done as a hobby?
I empathize with your struggles, but your mental issues are not my fault nor an excuse for you to do bad things towards other people.
You're such a coward omg xD hey at least you're not stupid, you've done a great job at not saying the quiet part out loud. I don't have what it takes to get you to slip up and admit to your bloodlust, so ig there's no more point to replying after this. Free Palestine, fuck off zionist trash 💖🇵🇸
You probably can't get me to admit to my bloodlust because you invented it.
If you were smart, you would have considered that.
Cool, you do support genocide. Have a shit life asshole💖
Free palestine 🇵🇸
You need psychiatry.
