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.

She wants to stop the genocide in Gaza, making both the candidates look bad by openly opposing it pressures them to make their policy less dogshit. If winning was more important to democrats than genocide, they'd drop the genocide. Sadly, it seems they'd rather lose the election than stop the genocide.
No one is losing because of Gaza. Very few of the American voters actually care about that topic.
How many politically-active people who would be campaigning for the dems right now got the shit beaten out of them by the cops instead?
Genocide matters to the politically active people who aren't just reliable voters, but who even get other people to vote.
Hell the whole reason Biden had to drop out was that he was massively unpopular, the genocide contributed to this, and every dogshit position of Biden (or Trump in the case of immigration) that Kamala has openly endorsed has hurt her popularity.
I know plenty of people who will be voting for Kamala who got their ass kicked during the BLM protests. So, I dunno what you’re on about. The only people still fooled by the Green Party are ML.
Goodbye Wumaoski
The BLM protests were under Trump. The fact that they got their ass kicked increased the likelihood they voted (and organized) against the government who did it. I was talking about Palestine protests.
Someone who cares enough about genocide that they went out to protest, is very likely to be someone who would have been at least phone banking for Harris if her election was necessary to stop Trump from resuming the genocide. But no, unlimited genocide is more important than winning for the dems.
Green isn't ML, marxists have their own parties, PSL, CPUSA, and (kinda) DSA.
lmao you really can't imagine someone would be against genocide without being manipulated by evil foreigners
The only people being fooled, regardless of their political opinions, are the ML.
Jill is just in it for the cash. She will say whatever. She doesn’t have to keep her promises because she knows she won’t ever have to.
So maybe if she would do something besides running her mouth, then yes… I might be interested.
Are you a bot or something? I just told you that green is not an ml party.
You’re not reading the sentence. ML can have opinions about other parties. But ML are being fooled by the Green Party. I’ve never suggested that Green was an ML party. I feel this logic is very clear. Perhaps your username is an indicator of why you aren’t comprehending basic English tonight. 🍸
mls are voting for ml parties. Dems getting mad that they don't get the votes of people who demand less dogshit policy without offering less dogshit policy has been going on for decades, they had venom for Nader instead of Bush's guys who actually stole the election for a decade after 2000, and I still see people blame Bernie for 2016 after Hillary failed to inherit the enthusiasm people had for his policies.
I hope you’re being purposeful dense.
But she's cool with genocide in Ukraine.
What actions has Russia done/is doing that are expected to destroy the Ukrainian people?
