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!

America already did wipe out the Native Americans
Try saying this back when western expansion was still happening.
You're missing the point of my comment because you're fixated on the suffering and expansion. I'll repeat myself in case it wasn't clear: we cannot ascribe the sins of the grandfathers to the children. A big percentage of Israeli population already vehemently opposes settlements and expansion.
I'm fixated on the suffering and expansion because it's currently happening
I'm not ascribing the sins of a past generation onto a new one, I'm pointing to the sins of the current generation
Ok. You're getting lost in the sauce and you're doing it on purpose at this point. In talking about the significant contingent of Israeli people that oppose settlements.
What is the point of opposing settlements when what little territory Palestinians have is being actively occupied and being subjected to an apartheid regime?
The majority of Israelis support the continuation of that situation, and a third support the annexation of occupied territory under Israeli rule.
Opposition to settlements is a little impotent when their government is actively undermining the security of Palestinians behind a blockade. I don't get the relevance.
Bro whatever I don't care. I just commented on the validity of polls, then you pivoted to the Zionist mission and now were back to quoting polls full circle. Whatever you say man. Im talking to the wind. Idgaf any more.
Good deal.
