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!

Guess it was more important to make sure children kept getting massacred than winning the Muslim vote in Michigan.

Dude you SOOO! RIGHT, now we can put the damned muzzis into AMERICAN CAMPS. I mean we sure showed those DemoRATS with GEnoCiDE JOE! Now American Muslims can experience genocide as well!

You did it jonne, we have peace in Gaza!

I'm just saying, Democrats didn't seem to want to do anything to win. They wouldn't commit to reappointing Lina Khan, for whatever reason decided that running around with a Cheney would be a good idea, and messed up a million other things. It wasn't just Gaza, they did everything they could to make sure they wouldn't win, seemingly, in service of the donors.

The donors were happy, gave her more money than Trump got, and they still lost because you need to give the voters something beyond 'Trump will be worse'.

And that's after years of gaslighting about how the economy was doing great under Biden while ignoring how much real wages got inflated away from the pandemic until now (and I'm not saying Trump is better on any of those issues, mind you, his voters just tend to not notice when they're being lied to because the right built an information bubble that's impervious to the truth).

Well then the best response is the one I already gave: you did it jonne! We now have peace in the middle east! Hurray!

What was Kamala's plan for achieving peace in the middle east exactly? If you think things would've been different with her, she definitely didn't tell the voters how she'd do that. It was Biden that defunded UNRWA based on fake stories and kicked off this famine.
