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!

ahh the nuances of supporting an active genocide. It’s strange that might be polarizing and cause folks to be outraged. Whaddaya gonna do? People need to understand that this is an election year /s
Ahhh. The freedom of making up your own headlines for the purpose of a shared hive is outrage.
And the fact that this is an election year isn’t lost on anyone that knows propaganda when they see it.
34,500 and counting
Cool story. This same shit is happening elsewhere too. But sadly, no one cares much about that. Its a shame people only seem to care when they can use it to prop up an agenda.
Hell. Most people didn’t even know where Palestine was less than a year ago. But don’t let this get in the way of some good old fashioned election year outrage.
So predictably obvious. Yet we’re not allowed to point it out.
What a disgusting take
Yeah. It is a disgusting take that disingenuous people are taking advantage of a shitty situation for political gain. If only someone would call it out.
34,500+ can’t say anything anymore because Israel. You do you
And the 30,000 that died so far in a similar conflict that you and your fellow propagandists don’t give two shits about….
What about them? Because you have said nothing at all in their defense.
Nothing.
The US can do a major part by simply not finding it! That’s why it’s a no brainer. When you start funding and taking sides it gets complicated; this is rather clear, that’s why.
