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!

Because the headline sounds like the DNC did something and your summary clarifies it was a couple assholes in the crowd.
Then the video shows the hits, and the top of those signs are flexible as hell. She doesn't even turn around or seem like it registers.
I'm pro Gaza as fuck, but you said you wanted to know why this is being down voted.
It's because even people that agree with you that stopping the genocide is important can see this is overblown.
Can't believe I'm agreeing with you, but yes, you're completely correct. OP is a fucking idiot.
CAuSe I dOnT sUpPoRtE gEnOcIdE! [spoken as if it’s strange to hate genocide]
Why do you genocide so much?
Genocide…
So, signs being flexible means attempts to get rid of and cover them don't matter? And hitting someone with a sign purposefully (two people really, since it also hits the woman next to her) is fine if you're unable to get leverage to hit harder? They're just playful taps, I suppose?
Pretty clear I'm not defending them ..
But the headline makes it seem like a violent assault, and frankly I don't think I ever want to see your comments anymore already
How does the headline seem like any form of assault? It doesn't even mention an assault. You have to read it to find out what it's referring to. And it's quite obvious from the first paragraph that the "worst way possible" is referring to people at the DNC trying to cover up and get rid of any form of opposing views.
Sounds more like you want to obfuscate, for some reason. Those "couple of assholes" should be called out, not glossed over.
