Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

People who sat out on voting for Kamela over the Biden handling of Gaza voted for this.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 36 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They never gave a shit about Palestine. It was just another example of "The Issue" for them to base their entire personality around to pose online.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

They're getting exactly what they voted for, but probably not what they wanted. But at least bLuE mAgA lost right guys?

Anyone who isn't a moron knew that would be his plan.

Predict? He literally said it, out loud, before now.

As usual, dead silence from the “Democrats bad, Genocide Joe” crowd.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Time to face the facts: Those people just wanted Trump to win.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That’s definitely the point.

Not silence, just more bullshit unfortunately. I’ve seen them continue to defend their position.

Edit: In this post!

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

It's OK, they wanted this apparently.

Every single one of you who attacked Biden and dissuaded turn out for Democrats in November need to sit the fuck down.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

"Bu-bu-but how would donvict be any worse?"

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I live near a college town and I was seeing banners and signs like this everywhere: "Stop genocide; vote 3rd party".

Today's kids are so god damn stupid.

I hate to say "I told you so", but there it is. Nothing is in place to stop Trump and Netenyahu from going truly scorched earth on Gaza and the West Bank now.

Time to see what a real, unmitigated genocide looks like.

Yes. The guy who intends to "clean out" the United States as well. It really smacks of a familiar thing...can't really put my finger on it though.... certainly must have happened in the past hundred years or so...

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 20 points 5 months ago (3 children)

What's the opposite of a humanitarian?

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It says it right there in the first word of the title.

The way he can't even say who's responsible for Gaza looking like a "demolition site".

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Clean it out with US supplied 155 mm artillery shells. To the Muslim MAGA voters, you got what you asked for...FAFO! Zero sympathy. The Orange Nero would like to do the same thing to Blue States.

So he supports the Endlösung of the Palestinian question? Just like Netanyahu and his right-wingers?
