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!

..... Every president that wants the christian vote will back isreal every time. I blame the damn evangelicals and their weird love/hate relationship with that country.

[–] OccamsTeapot 6 points 1 month ago

Blame the president. He decided the evangelical vote was more important than people's fucking lives

I don't understand who's downvoting this article, except for maybe those who didn't read it and are only downvoting the headline.

If anyone's downvoting it after actually reading the whole piece, I wonder what they found objectionable about it.

I'm getting heavily downvoted for even suggesting it's worth reporting on what the President is doing. Either this sub is full of reactionaries, or people are terrified that saying anything negative about Biden will cause Trump to get elected. I'm as nervous as anyone else about Trump, but I think we should acknowledge that Biden has done harm with his staunch support for Israel over the last year. But maybe we can't expect people to appreciate balance at this point in the election cycle when the stakes are so high.

This imo

[–] OccamsTeapot 3 points 1 month ago

This community will basically downvote basically anything critical of Biden/Harris, regardless of how relevant, informative or whatever. I have even seen poll results downvoted because they were bad news.

Because of course if you pretend something doesn't exist the problem just goes away.

Guess I won’t vote for Biden next month then.

It's still worth reporting on what the President of the USA does, even when he's not standing for re-election.
