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!

Biden somewhat dances around the idea of helping Palestinians, while Trump avoids referring to them as people. Both are terrible by any metric, but one is miles ahead.
He doesn't get the comparison. Spell it out in simple terms 😆
Words don't mean squat. Actions are what matters, and the actions would be the same.
I agree, at least one of of them is honest about what they want
If you honestly believe it would be the same:
I'd get banned for telling you what I really think.
That particular issue zeros out and Democrats are still better on literally every other issue.
If genocide costs the Dems the election, they will be forced to reevaluate their relationship with Israel, and they will think twice before doing something else similarly morally outrageous in the future. We need the Democratic Party to stand for human decency or this country is irredeemable because the Republicans certainly won't. We must discipline the party, and if it doesn't learn the lesson, it needs to be destroyed and replaced.
When a government outspends every other military in the world by a factor of 3, it's crucial that it have a conscience. Dissent voters are that conscience.
Ah ok, here is the mask off comment. You guys are so bad as cosplaying.
I agree
If we're talking countries that are being attacked without cause, should we talk about how Trump doesn't want to support Ukraine's defense? You literally only care about one issue, don't you? This whole election is riding on one point in a thousand possible issues to consider.
I care about 15,000 issues. Each one an innocent child murdered with American bombs.
Removed, civility, ableist slur.
Fair enough, but I think we're borderline splitting hairs.
The word can be used in mental health contexts, but it's in common usage as a synonym for "profoundly mistaken." I can see the argument for calling it ableist, but it's tenuous.
Delusion was NOT the issue.
I'm genuinely stumped then. Do you mind explaining?
Removed comment as it was reported:
Hello! I was curious, was this post going to be restored and the actual reported uncivil comment removed? From what I'm seeing, this reported comment is still up and active.
Oh! I think you accidently removed the parent comment instead. I can still see the offending comment here:
Meanwhile, my app shows this:
I was actually one of the people who reported that comment.
It's weird in that, in the report log, when I click the comment that was removed, it's somehow crosswired to your comment.
I think some stream got crossed there, I don't want to risk restoring the comment that needs to be removed.
Oops, you gave away the game that you're a Trump stan. Try again with anther alt.
Are you fucking retarded? Trump amped this up by moving the capital of Israel to Jerusalem.
Jesus Christ get a fucking clue.
If Trump is elected Palestine is leveled.
He literally said he'd "finish the job"
Fixed that for you
They're being leveled now, soooo, what really changes? Tbh I'm not even convinced biden will make it stop in his second term, it'll be back to business as usual.
