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!

Nope, I'm an anti-troll. Trolling is trying to provoke an emotional reaction. I'm trying to provoke a logical reaction.
Bravo! Love this. Well done my man.
Ok. Let's say Hamas committed genocide.
We're not arming Hamas.
So it seems that with you, it’s not about the genocide, it’s just about America being involved. Because frankly, I never see you standing against Russia and their genocide. Is it because America is on the side you prefer in that conflict?
We're not supporting Russia's genocide in Ukraine, either.
I'm not upset about how the US is handling Ukraine, except that they're not supporting Ukraine enough.
Make your accusations overtly if you're going to lie about me for opposing Netanyahu's genocide.
Hate to break it you you, but… We aren’t supporting genocide anywhere. You need a new bit. This broken record genocide accusation thing is old.
There's a genocide going on in Gaza, for which we are supplying weapons. That's support.
We’d be supplying those weapon if there wasn’t genocide happening. Which means we’re only honoring an agreement.
Israel would be continuing their genocide with or without America being involved.
I REALLY wish you people would pay attention some time.
And when the genocide started, we had a moral obligation to cease. And a legal one under the Leahy law.
And you prefer with.
"you people"?
Yawn….
