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.
- 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.
- 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!

But the organization also kept up its attacks on Biden and Harris, saying in the release, "We refuse to equate Trump's inflammatory rhetoric with the Biden-Harris administration's concrete actions—actions that spanned 15 months of material, verbal, monetary, and political support for Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza."
Some serious copium right there. JFC.
Hilariously, the group “Arab Americans for Trump” just changed their name to “Arab Americans for Peace.” Nice try. You own this [...]
🤦♂️ Learn nothing, and then try to cover it up. Sweet feathery jesus.
They're a bit stubborn but I guess they kind of opened their eyes now
if only anyone had been announcing for months what Trump was doing. i know this comes across as "i told you so" but the people who told you so demonstrated more understanding of what was going on than these dipshits. now would be basically their last chance to start listening
now would be basically their last chance to start listening
Narrator: They did not start listening.
Yeah, some of the ones in here are doubling down on the Gaza thing....this is probably textbook blowback phenomenon (people that are confronted with how they are wrong will double down on that position, only more so).
How do we combat this? I genuinely want to know because I know about the phenomenon, but it's like... We tried nice. Now it's too late for nice, polite methods to work. November 5th was nicely politely dealing with the fascists and the moral purists day. But now what do we do?
But he didn't say he was going to hurt me… I thought he was only going to hurt THOSE people… how could we ever have known?
The scary things is that that's hardly an exaggeration at all. People say shit like that in all seriousness, without an ounce of self-awareness.
"But he brought two palestinians on stage with him! I was sure he was the right choice to stop all the violence across the world!"
Fuck these people.
So many fucking stupid people. That's how Republicans get in office, even ones as awful as donvict.
Oh just wait, it'll be a lot worse later.
We're just in the "pre-game" warm up. Just wait till the kick off.
While I do understand the schadenfreude of all of this, you know what the Democrat still fucking suck and have learned nothing too.
I mean while I think that all of these groups get what the voted or didn't vote for but at the same time they had very valid points that the Democrats still refuse to respond to. And quite honestly their efforts at being a opposition party is a disgrace and I don't think their giving anyone the feeling that they have Americans backs here against these fascists.
Idiots
