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!

Weird how repeatedly calling for an immediate cease fire and a two state solution in Israel = "Harris genocide".

Removed for misinformation.

March - https://www.npr.org/2024/03/04/1234822836/kamala-harris-benny-gantz-gaza-cease-fire-israel-hamas

"Monday's meeting in Washington, D.C., comes one day after Harris called for an immediate, temporary cease-fire in Gaza to facilitate an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and detainees. Harris is expected to continue pressing Israel to pause the fighting and allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza."

July - https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/25/harris-netanyahu-israel-cease-fire-00171315

"Vice President Kamala Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in private Thursday and followed it with a strikingly forceful call on his government to get a cease-fire deal done and ease the suffering of civilians in Gaza."

September - https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/harris-trump-presidential-debate-election-2024/card/harris-calls-for-ceasefire-in-gaza-while-trump-claims-she-hates-israel--isokhfqmy6EgRGrUOSuK

"Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her call for a ceasefire-for-hostage deal in Gaza while expressing sympathy for both Israelis and Palestinians affected by the conflict. Harris condemned the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel but said “far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed” by Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza."

Do you get something out of mis-representing what she said and did? Or were you just not actually paying attention?

Love you just proving their point on why everyone stopped. Because all that happens is instant bans or removals for pointing out flaws.

Also how many of those are just her saying submit to allowing Israeli forces to continue killing everyone after a 30/60 day ceasefire

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (7 children)

The difference is you were shown proof that disagrees with the propaganda that was removed, and your only argument is an unproven suspicion based on the belief in said propaganda.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What proof?

Biden and Blinken have also been working on a ceasefire for the entire year. They're working the hardest they ever have on it and all we've gotten is us building a failed pier to help Israel launch a military attack.

FYI you can't use propaganda then claim people are only believing in propaganda

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. Just like Biden and Blinken have been saying they want a ceasefire.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And there is a perfect example of suspicions based on the belief in propaganda.

Thank you for the assist.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What are you taking about? It's not propaganda when it's exactly what happened.

we really want to do one

never mind

Again, proof.

If I gave you the impression that I care to debate you on this, I apologize. But I have no intention to was time with you on this as it is pointless.

I said what I thought needed to be said, and I’m done. Enjoy having the last word.

Ah got it. Can't respond so just saying I just wanted to insult and leave
