Rules:

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.

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.

President Donald Trump’s attempt to deport pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil marks one of Trump’s most egregious assaults on democratic liberties since taking office. Yet too many Democrats, particularly in party leadership, are responding to Trump in the most mealymouthed way possible. But this is a problem of Democrats’ own making: Their trepidation stems from their own history of repressing speech critical of Israel — and now we’re all at risk of paying the price for it.

Democrats will get nothing but grief. leftists tried to warn Democrats for decades that this is who their party is, and now that they're in a downward spiral, they want to keep punching left at the people that told them that their party is shit. This is truly a we told you so moment.

You desired this outcome. And I hope it affects you and people you love.

Democrats refusing to listen gave us this outcome, refusing to see biden's deficiencies and demanding a primary gave us this outcome. Accepting genocide as the 'lesser evil' gave us this outcome. Their selective outrage and refusing to hold their own people to the same standards they hold Republicans gave us this outcome. Refuse to accept responsibility for their failures gave us this outcome.
