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!

So this November Americans will be able to choose between literally a Nazi and someone who strongly supports genocide and treats anyone who doesn't support it as a traitor.

Good luck with that

These fucking dinosaurs just don't get it, do they? They come from a time when Israel and the US were blood brothers, one and the same, when it would be unconscionable for the American public to have any other view than carte blanche 100% support for Israel.

Now that view is finally (slowly) changing but they're too old and come from too different of a world to realize it, or if they do realize it (they have plenty of smart people working for them) then they just don't grasp the changing tides

I hate this timeline.

Yes, there probably are Russian agents trying to sow division any way they can, and they latch onto anything they perceive as potentially divisive. She's not wrong.

At the same time, the way Netanyahu has prosecuted this war is horrifying and reprehensible, actively costing Israel the moral high ground after Hamas' terrorist attack (something I wouldn't have believed possible) and basically doing everything Hamas could possibly want for their propaganda needs.

This situation is fucked and I hate every single thing about it.

Put her to bed. Her legacy is shit. How many bills have you passed that never got enforced Nancy that wound up getting you and a bunch of dipshit Republicans rich? How much more are you going to shit on the youth with your limp dick Catholic degenerate bullshit? Fuck her. She’s so clueless and useless.

I could kinda believe that opponents of supporting Ukraine are Russian shills, but supporters of Palestina? If anything Russia is happy to keep the US army supply chain to be diverted to Israel instead of Ukraine.

Nancy needs to shut the fuck up and stop trying to give Trump the election.

Anything left of the Democrats is Russian propaganda because it has to be. If there exists a big constituency left of the Democrats than that would mean that that constituency has no political representation, due to the first pass the post system and systematic suppression by the Democrats of their left flank within the party. This would mean American democracy is hugely flawed and extra-electoral action is justified to manifest change, but this can not be the case so Q.E.D. it is all Russian disinformation. Google “Russia BLM” for some more concern trolling of this kind.

So, the way these comments read there is no Russian influence campaign. Interesting.
