Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

They make a great point. But nobody here read the article.

I read the article, they are not making any points other than a completely empty claim that only Palestinians get to decide.

What they should be doing is profusely apologizing for their catastrophic stupidity while rallying people to try and impeach the orange felon.

You have ingested propaganda to make you think that protesters are the reason Republicans won the election.

This just didn't happen

You are being manipulated to hate poor people and young people.

I never said that. They contributed in a significant way. That's a fact. Their brainless contribution made things significantly worse for America and Palestinians. That's a fact.

Why them? The dems are the ones who lost?

[–] IndustryStandard 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Clearly you did not read the article.

"Over the past 16 months, the Biden-Harris administration's full, unobstructed support for Israel's campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has failed to remove the Palestinians of Gaza from their land," Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Muslim-American led Abandon Harris campaign, said in a statement to Newsweek.

"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine."

Right, so just the completely empty statement I mentioned in my own reply. Meaningless bullshit from people who failed both, America and their heritage because they refused to accept reality.

[–] IndustryStandard 1 points 45 minutes ago* (last edited 45 minutes ago)

Imagine believing the people being genocided failed the group responsible for their genocide.

The sheer insanity of your statement will make people reading it in 30 years fall backwards out of their chairs.

I would also like to believe we have some amount of self-determination in America, but 47 and Elmo are making sure that's not the case.

[–] Feathercrown 0 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I think we're about to find out what the "full support" of the US actually looks like

[–] IndustryStandard 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

If you start talking about how Trump removed sanctions on 5 settlers I will block you.

[–] Feathercrown 1 points 18 minutes ago

I don't know what opinions you think I have but I certainly do not support Trump. I didn't hear about the sanctions thing though, can you send a link?

[–] SoftestSapphic 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Wow you sound like a bootlicker who wants to see poor brown people die

[–] Feathercrown 1 points 20 minutes ago

No; to be clear, that would be very bad. That doesn't mean it's not what's about to happen, though.
