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!

There is little chance that Trump would do much worse than Biden

Bullshit. Trump praises & enables authoritarians worldwide, refused to support the two state solution, emboldened Israeli supremacists by recognizing Jerusalem as their capitol & moved the US embassy there, and cut aid to Palestinian refugees by 80%..

it's not like biden restored that aid, moved the embassy back, and has been advocating a two state solution. he emboldened the israeli supremacists by saying he is a zionist

it's not like Biden restored that aid

Yes he fucking has.

... has been advocating two state solution

Yes he fucking has

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

your links indicate that the aid has not been restored and he hasn't said shit about a Palestinian state since 2022, but he did just say he is a zionist.

aid has not been restored

Yes it fucking has "President Joe Biden has restored hundreds of millions of dollars of UN funding that was cut under President Donald Trump."

Hasn't said shit about Palestinian state since 2022

Yes he fucking has. "Biden Says a ‘Real’ Palestinian State Must Come After War" - 11/16/23

JFC this shit is so easy to Google.

your link does not say it has been fully restored, because it hasn't. and coming in during a genocide to say"when you're done we should talk" is not championing the Palestinian people.

This was your original statement. I have demonstrated beyond a doubt that it is absolutely false.

>This was your original statement.

no, it wasnt

OK so? Biden is actively killing thousands of Palestinian children. Trump cut the Iran deal but he didn't star a war like israel wanted. Trump withdrew from Afghanistan too.

When you follow the money it looks like Genocide Joe is by far the favorite choice for israeli lobbies.

Pro-israel donor recipients.

1 Biden, Joe (D) President $3,753,244

2 Perdue, David (R-GA) Senate $1,053,098

3 Trump, Donald (R) President $894,032

Israel really loves Genocide Joe and we can see why. He will even bypass Congress to continue their genocide.

[–] cheesebag 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

actively killing

No. Biden is aiding and abetting Israel which is terrible, but there are zero US troops in Gaza, and Biden is not directing Israel's Gaza invasion.

Trump withdrew from Afghanistan too.

Umm ok, if you're considering all the conflicts of the world, then the genocide of the Climate Crisis is the most devastating. You gonna fuckin tell me how much better Trump is than Biden on climate?
