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!

Good, he shouldn't be allowed a moment of free peace on that.
Go protest against Hamas and Netanyahu. They’re the only ones actually killing people. The U.S. stood by its allies. Hamas fucked around and found out. They wanted Netanyahu to overreact and level Gaza. What should the U.S. do? Hold an ally at gunpoint and say “don’t fight back”?
Biden’s administration is advocating for a two-state solution. A Trump administration would advocate for nothing for Palestine.
But sure, go ahead and enable Trump to make things worse. I honestly don’t know how you folks sleep at night. Ignorance must be one hell of a sedative.
We should stop giving them money and weapons while they use that money and fire those weapons at ambulances and hospitals
What the fuck is wrong with you? "Stand by our allies?" I dont give a shit who your ally is, if they start slaughtering children and innocents they can get fucked, and they can certainly get their bloody, murderous hands out of our fucking wallet.
Funding genocide is an action that trumps any words. They can advocate whatever they like when they are spending my tax dollars on slaughter of humans, the words mean fuckall.
No seriously, what the actual fuck is wrong with you? Did your mother beat you with a mallet? Do you drink lead?
We don't give a fuck about what Trump might do. We are concerned what genocide Joe is actually doing. Biden has the ability to pull back their government welfare checks and refuse to provide weapons like Reagan did, but the self proclaimed Zionist has done neither. In fact boosting money and bypassing Congress 2 times to provide weapons.
What do you suppose this would accomplish?
Can't very well bomb anyone without bombs
Do you suppose they will have no bombs if the US stops giving them money?
If the US stops supplying them weapons they wouldnt have any to use.
Are you aware they can and do make their own weapons, and even sell some to the US? I ask, because based on your single sentence, it seems you like you aren't.
As a Canadian, chill out.
Brain dead take.
Yeah dude, let's all shut the fuck up about the genocide. Normal take.
Nah, just stop trying to put it on Biden. No american president would have done any less to support israel.

Yeah, they all have a list of things that they should be dragged in front a court for, except maybe Jimmy Carter.
Calling me names doesn't change reality.
2nd rule 3 violation. Temp ban. Stop calling other users psychopaths.

Where is your condemnation of the people actually committing the genocide? Do you call out Netanyahu, or the IDF? What about the citizens of Israel who support this? Why aren't they the ones you are focusing on.
It's less kosher to commit genocide.
........ Are you fucking stupid? I dont vote for israeli politicians. I dont pay tax to israeli coffers.
I cant rally my government to shut israel murder off at the source because we are paying them to slaughter children.
Whats this apologetic whataboutism bullshit? My country should be stopping its own funding and promoting of genocide before it is able to stop someone elses slaughter.
Why are you so eager to defend the funding of israels slaughter?
Shocker, I can want the killing to stop but realise that regardless of what the US does, Israel is going to continue.
So maybe it's time to get upset about your country's defacto support of genocide.
Not my country, but I can recognise reality.
