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!

The notion that the reason the genocide was unpopular because of the protestors is absurd. The protesters were responding to an incredibly unpopular thing, not causing it to be incredibly unpopular.
The previous administration stopped running and put Kamala in when they saw they had no pathway to victory, so they're capable of making changes when they know they have no alternative. It was only the "vote blue no matter who" crowd who allowed them to live under the delusion they could win while trying to be republicans.
It's not the genocide that was unpopular because of the protestors, it was voting that was unpopular because of the protest. The protests brought far more attention to the situation, and people stayed home on voting day because of it.
If you think that the only difference between Democrats and Republicans was their support for the Israeli situation then you're completely delusional.
4 years from now, when democrats are running on building the wall, mass deportations, getting tough on crime, banning trans people from public spaces, and continuing whatever war Trump starts, you will be telling anyone telling the democrats that this is unpopular "shut up, this really is super popular and the democrats really can win by adopting the republican platform from 4 years ago".
