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!

I'd support him if he resigned and turned himself in at The Hague

Arrest little hitler.

Jesus. What a massive pile of red meat for the frat-boy whoopin' and hollerin' Republicans. To equate protests against the Netanyahu government to antisemitism against the Jewish people is fucking priceless.

Harris's moves over the next 48 hours might decide the election. There is no path through the EC without MI, WI, and MN. She quite literally needs the entire Muslim vote in those states (maybe not MN) to win.

Muslims need to be shown that islamaphobia is no longer guiding white house policy. It can't be the case that Israel's actions or behavior over the past 7 months are excusable.

She needs to use narrow and specific language to show clear daylight between how shell be approaching this issue and how Biden did.

[–] FuglyDuck 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My biggest concern is that as VP she doesn’t set policy.

I don’t really expect anything to change policy wise- Biden is a Zionist, and I’m not sure she can get him to change.

It’s very likely that we’ll never know what they discuss in the private meeting (and it’s exceedingly likely that that meeting is going to decide just how hard AIPAC and other Israeli influence groups go for Trump.)

Yeah. The most were' going to get is language. Her not attending Bibi's moment in Congress seems like something, but the daylight needs to be CLEAR.

Invite him on stage for a little surprise presser talking about the good work the ICC is doing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's gotta be strategic. Kamala doesn't get any of the stink of the Gaza situation on her hands and Biden doesn't piss off AIPAC. At the end of the day there are no easy solutions to the Gaza situation. This might be the only way to handle it without a devastating loss of support.

It's a hard job. That's why we pay them the medium bucks.

[–] FuglyDuck 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yup.

Also keep in mind the rumors that they censored her remarks that one time. Dunno that it’s true but also, wouldn’t be surprised.

Edit to add: we all known AIPAC is going to come down against democrats I think the best course of combatting that is to embrace it. Make it a campaign issue- foreign money buying influence to control America. Maybe go a little populist there on the messaging

Lock him up

His country's fight against starving civilians*

Scum should've got the welcome mat into jail.

[–] Tylerdurdon 2 points 6 months ago

I support... Him going home

[–] lennybird 2 points 6 months ago

Far-right nationalist piece of shit. This is no different to me than if they invited Putin to speak. Disgusting murderer.
