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!

You love genocide. You want it more and faster in Israel and more and faster in Ukraine.

I do not. You just pretend any opposition to the genocide you support is Trump support.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I understand that voting exactly how the Repubs want you to is Trump support. You either do not understand, or you love the extra genocide and the human rights abuses the Repubs commit.

Based on everyone explaining it to you in every thread, I have to assume you want the more genocide and for women to be unwilling incubators.

I understand that voting exactly how the Repubs want you to is Trump support.

I'm voting for Harris. I still oppose genocide and would very much like to see some daylight between her and Biden. Or indeed some daylight between either of them and Netanyahu.

Any opposition to genocide deeply offends you, so you lie about me.

You are objecting to my opposition at insane takes like "people wanted to vote for the genocide?" Actually you are just angry because your MAGA propaganda trying to reduce votes against Donald is no longer working.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You call anything that isn't worship of Netanyahu "MAGA propaganda."

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I call directing voters to act exactly as Repubs want them to MAGA propaganda. I'm glad you and your fellow MAGAs' support for genocide abroad and harming women domestically has hit a roadblock.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can pretend all you like, I'm still voting for Harris. I have never once advocated for voting for Trump or not voting.

Keep lying about me. It won't make your support for genocide less reprehensible.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You are a MAGA propagandist. I am pleased sentiment has forced you to publicly claim you are voting for Harris. A step even further back from the genocide, misogyny, and homophobia that you and your fellows actually want.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In your warped worldview, even the slightest objection to the genocide you support must be support for Trump.

Go lie about someone else.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You began with fiction saying people wanted to vote for genocide.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, I said that centrists were voting for Biden because of his unwavering support for Netanyahu's genocide. Anyone else who was going to vote for Biden was doing so in spite of his unwavering support for the genocide centrists have always wanted.

Now in case you haven't noticed, Biden is no longer running. It's ok to badmouth him now. It's also ok to object to genocide. I hope Harris moves away from Bidenyahu on this issue. We need an anti-genocide party in this country and we currently don't have one.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You wrote liberal and now you want to claim it is centrist. Which centrists, then, give me the data.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd say the centrists that immediately take deep personal offense at any objection whatsoever to Biden's support for genocide and start calling anyone who isn't all-in on Netanyahu's genocide a Trump supporter.

I'm talking to one right now. I think I'll stop. Goodnight.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Of course. MAGA propagandists do not have data. It's one of their defining features. Thank you for removing your love for genocide and bigotry from my presence.
