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!

Genocide IS bad, calling every war a genocide doesn't make it so however.
If you're American, your country did worse to my people, so maybe we should string up your people.
"Maybe we should care about genocide?"
"Maybe we should commit genocide on YOUR people!"
Yes, very good rebuttal.
I'm just sick of Americans trying to play the moral high ground, while they bathe in the blood of my people and enjoy the wealth they stole. In any case, your country is the one propping up Israel and this war, so get off your high horse
"God, I'm so sick of people trying to be better, don't they understand that they should just pick evil and stick to it?"
Very mature viewpoint. As expected from someone who suggested lynching Americans as a response to a suggestion that genocide is bad.
Funny how to Americans, only a decade or two is enough time to wash your hands of an atrocity you committed in your own backyard and tell the person you victimized, to essentially move on and forget it, in favor of whatever atrocity is happening on the other side of the planet.
"Boohoo, we can't genocide. Why are you so mean to us?"
I sure as heck am not genociding anyone. But my people were genocided, and nobody gave a shit. And if you're American and white, I think you're on my land and should leave my continent, but I'm supposed to just accept it, and accept your moral grand standing while you do nothing to actually help.
I'm not American, but it's very very odd to use a genocide against your people to dismiss a genocide against another.
My point is more against the fake outrage, cause I know none of you guys care, just like nobody cared about us. None of you are actually doing anything tangible to help, just bitching online about things you don't really know the full story about
Why are you assuming to know more about my own knowledge and my cares than myself?
Just cause you're jaded and apathetic doesn't mean everyone else is. You also don't know what I have done, but what exactly do you expect me to do? Go to Gaza and get killed by the IOF?
You if anyone should be allied with the Palestinians, much like the Irish
we all know whataboutism is valid
We should hang up those responsible.
It’s bullshit how much shit my country pulls.
