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!

Maybe harris should have thought it was worth not supporting a genocide to prevent that then.
You guys still haven't caught on that you're missing the core of this. There were 2 groups that refused to budge which allowed trump to take power. One group refused to support a genocide, one group refused to stop supporting a genocide.
So how the fuck are libs more mad about the anti-genocide group for refusing to budge? Seems worth being stubborn about to me, you know, if you think genocide is bad.
I would have maybe a single ounce of sympathy for the lib side of this argument if the stakes were lower. 'You don't always get everything you want' is a hell of a lot more convincing if the left had refused to play ball over healthcare reform or something. But jesus christ 'don't do genocide' is the lowest possible bar to clear and Kamala still refused.
Harris isn't responsible for how we vote that is our and only our responsibility.
They did the beat job providing a convincing platform they knew how obviously insufficient but she like us got one vote
Harris is absolutely responsible for her platform being pro-genocide what are you on about. It is the candidate's job to appeal to voters, all she offered to the left was 'I'm not him so you have to vote for me'. Turns out we didn't have to. I'm not going to leave the house to maybe get 99% hitler with 1% handwringing instead of 100% hitler.
Its our job to vote for whichever party will be better for America regardless of whether we agree on all areas
Fuck america. I refuse to put the empire first above humanity. All suffering matters equally, disregarding provocation.
also quoting myself from a different part of this comment thread
*You nationalists disgust me. I wonder if you consider yourself somehow better than racists when you discriminate and devalue on equally arbitrary lines.
So you don't care how many poor people die as long as "US bad". I'm glad their lives are bargain chips to you
Unlike the Gazan lives that you definitely aren't willing to concede as bargaining chips.
And right back around to the bad faith arguments.
Nuance is dead the world is black and white and either perfect or bad.
Great self awareness you've got there.
A quality which you seem to lack
lol. lmao.
Is your head so far up your ass that you think
Is a good faith argument that deserves a good faith response?
