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.

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!

For someone so anti genocide, you sure are sounding like someone who is pro Republican, which is very much pro genocide.
It's so unfathomably weird that every single time this comes up, y'all never seem to have anything negative to say about the current administration, or how objectively worse it would have been to elect Fuckface 45 as a president during the election, or the very real threat that Fascist 47 represents to not only Gaza, but to the American people.
What's up with that? Why haven't you condemned with the same fervor the current genocidal administration? Why are you only giving a shit about someone who currently has zero power?
Why are you patting yourself on the back for a "job well done"?
that's like saying, I hate pedophiles and someone going on a rant because apparently that means that i don't mind Nazis because somehow people can only hate the things they explicitly mentioned in one statement.
Of course I hate that fascist cunt. but one thing is that the nazi acts like a nazi. another one is that is opposition, the "good guys", did absolutely nothing to prevent the greatest evils in recent history because they assumed all they had to do was to be slightly less evil than the competition, so they can guzzle up there same corporate donations that trump got while pandering about how they are slightly less evil than Trump.
if I complain more about democrats, is because I'm disappointed and betrayed by them. and now many of them are cow towing to Trump.
Then they fucking blame the public for not ignoring a genocide or the countless inactions they did, like waiting for the elections to try and do anything about RoeVWade, so they could have a carrot for the election rather than doing their job.
The democrats are as much at fault for breaking democracy as trump was. All they had to do is listed to the public and not support a genocide.
And they deserve so much anger for not releasing the Epstein files as well, because we all know many democrats and their donors are on the list as well. The whole system is broken and rotten you the core.
And we can fix it, just not as long as we consider the democrats as our saviour. Look at Mamdani, a popular candidate with popular policies and the democrats are doing all they can to torpedo him. They aren't the left, they are right wing with pandering.
