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!

w/r/t Biden doing for Palestine as a key progressive effort; I think as the NYT article that got posted here a day or to ago spelled out, Biden’s been very much in Bibi’s face behind closed doors, but our favorite college student doesn’t know or care how mideast diplomacy works, or its history, risks, and assumptions.
Frankly, that’s on us for assuming and posting that he “supports genocide”. He does not, and has said so repeatedly. Maybe if Bush(s) had invaded Israel instead of Iraq (y’know, where we know very well they have WMD) and had taken control of that government we’d be able to dictate what we want the way so many seem to think we can, but it doesn’t work so simply. He’s working on it, much more diligently and competently than anyone else who’s running for president is able to.
And frankly at this point, spreading this lie that Biden “supports” the obvious genocidal actions of Netanyahu is exactly the same as what a russian troll trying to divide Democrats, limit turnout, and swing the election to trump would do.
Ok, if Biden doesn’t support genocide, how come he has circumvented Congress over 100 times since oct 7 to send them 10s of billions worth of bombs which are actively being used to perform said genocide?
I believe that Biden has asked Bibi to stop. Do you know what Bibi does immediately after those conversations? He goes on Israeli press and absolutely dunks on Biden for being an idiot, in Bibi’s pocket, and that the killings will continue.
If Biden truly does not support genocide, wouldn’t the second most logical step be to stop sending them the very 2000lb bombs which are being used to level all civilian infrastructure in the strip? Why hasn’t he done this?
