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!

Ah... the: "I've chosen this hill for everyone to die on" gambit.
Thinking like a child. May age bring you wisdom and peace.
Ah the “I promise, we will work on the things you ask for next time if you just work with us again one more time” gambit.
Keep voting for the people doing the opposite of what you want. Good luck inducing change
I don't know... I like most (there are two in particular I don't like) things on this list: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046
That, by definition, is "doing what I like". If you're holding out for your perfect candidate you may as well throw away your voter registration or admit you're a troll farm employee.
Never thought the day would come when I'd be told that not doing genocide is too high of a bar to ask my elected officials to clear.
No one is telling you that. We're telling you that neither candidate is good on this issue and that the other candidate is significantly worse for the Palestinians.
We should protest and demand changes from the Biden administration for sure, but refusing to pull the lever for them in November based on this issue makes no sense whatsoever.
"We should protest and demand changes from the Biden administration for sure" and yet look at you shutting people down for doing exactly that xD you know normal people don't buy liberals' bullshit anymore right?
Right?
Age never brings wisdom or peace. I hope he offends his master and gets exiled to Siberia. Fuck these trolls.
