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're infuriating me because you know nothing about me. You have no idea the monetary support I've pledged to Palestine. It's not thousands or even hundreds but i don’t have very much and I've given what I can. I've spread the word about Palestine, Mossad, the IDF, regional complacency, debunking conspiracy theories about Hamas and the United Nations, all of it. You know nothing about me and yet because we've swapped a handful of words about American politics you think you do. That's why you're pissing me off, not because we're disagreeing on Kamala's campaign strategy but because you're completely full of yourself. Fuck you. May Kamala win and may the Palestinians some day know peace and prosperity in the land that's rightfully theirs but honestly fuck you.

Im comfortable pissing you off. All youve done is demonstrate my point, youll fight harder to support a genocidal candidate than to get her to not commit genocide . translate that anger into action to get harris to swap positions. i didnt make her back genocidal policies. if she loses its her fault. biden was tanked over gaza, union busting and mental health declines. gaza is not news for harris. she knows her position on it is a huge risk, particularly in states she absolutely needs to win.

the only question you need to ask yourself is would you vote for harris if she committed to following the law and enforcing leahy on israel. if rhe answer is yes you should be doing the same thing ive done.

  1. lie to pollsters.
  2. calls critters let them know your voting 3rd party for thr president as a result.
  3. if youre in a deep blue state and comfortable with the risk: follow through on 2.

the harder this win is for harris the better. means less support shell get for her absolutely disgusting treatment of arabs and gaza. itll reduce the fear congress critters have of aipac. etc.
