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!

This seems like the make or break issue for Democrats, and they've really set themselves up for failure on it by refusing to separate the concept of Israel from the concept of Judaism over the previous 12 months. Their votes in the house and senate on censoring protest speech wherein the specific definition cited conflates the two concept isn't on accident.
Harris really hasn't done what she needs to do to create daylight between her and Biden on this issue and its likely going to cost her the campaign if she doesn't end up on the right side of it. The problem she has is the previous 9 months of Democratic propaganda and intentional confusion around the concept in mainstream media that the Biden/ Harris administration has been directly fueling. Hence the student protest ban, hence the tictok ban; they're entirely on the wrong side of the issue.
Not allowing for a Palestinian to come up and speak at this convention more than enough to give Trump a viable chance in enough states that it entirely erodes the gains the campaign has seen over the previous month. Its an unforced error that the administration has continuously been on the wrong side of, and with better messaging and actually using the bully pulpit (a completely foreign concept to Biden), they never needed to have boxed themselves into this now untenable position of their own mediocrity and unwillingness to lead.
Also, inb4 blue maga saying the voters just need to suck it up and vote for genocide. If that works for you, please understand that there are enough people who have an actually calibrated moral compass for whom the active support of a genocide is a deal breaker. You can't expect them to come to your position when its 100% in the wrong.
yeah im sure trump should be much better for the palestinians /s
A yes. The imbeciles gambit.
How was that strategy working out when it was Biden v Trump?
horseshoe theory perpetually online leftists want trump to win anyway so i don't know what your point is.
If I could roll my eyes any harder.
Yes, I'm sure the 100k undecided voters in MI, a make or break state for Kamala are just "perpetually online leftists", a group for whom supporting a genocide was a bridge too far.
Blue maga tried blame the voters schtick when Biden was candidate. It was giving us Trump. That approach is the problem and if I scratch beneath your tinfoil rafter of wanting to abuse people who have a stronger moral code than you, what will I find?
