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!

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A former aide to President Donald Trump and current co-host of ABC's The View is warning Democrats that protest votes could potentially lead to more catastrophic events in the Middle East.

Joe Biden is on pace to face presumptive Republican nominee Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election, but the president's handling of the ongoing conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, which quickly escalated following the October 7 terrorist attacks, has drawn scrutiny from many within the Democratic Party.

Griffin went on to say she was "conflicted" because of the options for president but implored voters to think of the long-term ramifications of not voting for Biden based on this singular issue.

Co-host Sunny Hostin seemed to empathize with the protest voters in the Midwest swing states that are predicted to ultimately determine the results of the November 5 election.

When Joy Behar, another co-host, interjected and said the war could end quicker if Hamas released hostages, Hostin said anything short of a ceasefire could continue to galvanize such voters against Biden.

On Wednesday, Andrés told Reuters reporter Jeff Mason that his nonprofit "was deliberately targeted" and questioned how the U.S. could supply aid and military support to Israel.


The original article contains 520 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

All they want is the beach front property to build condos. They don't care about people.
Human life has no value to these people, never has.

[–] smnwcj@fedia.io 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Woah, what an offensive categorization of the Israeli people.

They also want a new canal to undercut Egypt's suez.

[–] Teon@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

It's netanyahu and that corrupt government, not the actual citizens of Israel.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 months ago

It’s actually drilling rights for all the oil under that beach (sound familiar?), but yeah, condos too I guess.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Trump no doubt made deals to acquire beachfront land in Gaza.... Just need to get those dead bodies cleared away

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml -1 points 7 months ago

Like this is that difrent from biden

[–] anticolonialist@lemmy.world -3 points 7 months ago

Has no one seen Gaza lately? Looks like Biden has done a pretty good job of leveling it, without a thought, and several million dollars richer for it.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social -3 points 7 months ago

Unfortunately, Biden already is allowing this to happen, however

Trump probably would too, but Biden already is

Both Biden and Trump are motivated by the aipac money. Period. Don’t fool yourself.

You can’t shame the younger voters into voting for Biden. They don’t care what Hillary Clinton thinks and they are tired of being lied too by corporate donors, I mean corporate politicians.

Joe Biden is almost done fully leveling Gaza already. Sends 1800 more bunker buster bombs to israel.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world -5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

"If he thought it was politically advantageous, [Trump] would level Gaza without a second thought"

He didn't actually say that, just so we're clear here.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He just said Israel should finish the problem and that he'll ban Palestinians from USA, but surely that says nothing about his opinions on the matter? Right? Right?

Can you quote instead? I'm referring to this article, since that's what have I responded to. The headline is clickbait and we should be better than it.
