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.

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.

Biden is going to lose an election over it. Let's try sanctions against Israel instead of, maybe, you know, giving them billions in military aid that's being used to kill toddlers.
They liked hummus though so it was justified
Trump didn't win an election. Hillary lost one. It's astounding how good they are at throwing.
It's fucking terrifying seeing this play out again right in front of our faces. Honestly, if we elect Trump again, our Republic doesn't deserve to survive.
I agree with you, but God damn, I hate that I thought that the last time.
We have to fight tooth and nail against Trump. We have to fight tooth and nail and the Israeli genocide, but also against Trump.
Democrats really are their own worst enemy. At every opportunity, they do everything in their power to alienate their voting base.
Given, republicans hurt their voters all the time, and even more egregiously. But they lie about it and spin it as a win to their voters, who eat it up. Democrats are hilariously bad at championing their wins, and seem to put their failures on display instead.
Democrats do not have the equivalent of Fox News on their side. A lot of people think they do, but they are ignorant. It's an objective fact that there is no Democratic equivalent to Fox News, OANN, NewsMax, Sinclair or right wing talk radio. There just isn't. Nor do I think there ever could be given that the Democratic party is really a collection of very disparate political views whose only real common cause is opposition to what the insane GOP has turned into.
How large do you think the American left is? Because if it was large enough to deliver a presidency to Trump, Biden would actually be listening to them. When polled about prospective third parties more respondents wanted a party to the right of the Republicans than wanted one to the left of the Democrats. You're setting up a Boogeyman that doesn't exist so you can shift rightwards after you lose for being too far right. You blame leftists because you don't want to realize you're moving too far right for Democrats.
The left didn't want Biden in the first place, they wanted Sanders, but the democrats pulled all the stops in 2020 to get Biden as the nominee and they insisted that this was for everyone's good.
They want trump to win almost as much as they want biden to win. If trump wins, that's another 4+ years that they can run on their "at least we're not literal nazis" platform. Same reason they continually fuck over Bernie and buy ads for trump and his ilk
Why are there so many Iranian talking points on Lemmee lately?
Just because it is a talking point doesn't make it false. I am sure if America gave Ukraine a nuke and they used it to nuke Moscow, that fact would be a Russian talking point.
