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!

People think that Israel ethnic cleansing of 2 million people in a few months is worse than ethnic cleansing them over 4 years!

First of all, it will be far more than 2 million people.

But also, yes! Fucking yes, of course it is worse! What?!? Are you fucking joking??

Holy shit people are delusional. You don't get to just say "well, we can't know if a Democrat would be different," and absolve yourself from your responsibility in this. When will be the point where you realize (yet I'm sure continue to refuse to admit in an attempt to preserve your own sanity perhaps)? Will it be when they annex the West Bank (like immediately after 1/20, they're already talking about it)? Will it be when the slaughtering of Palestinians gets kicked into high gear, and the real elimination begins?

You will live with the results of your actions (or inaction). There will be a point, and it won't take long, where nobody who is honest with themselves will be able to claim that we can't know if Kamala would be better or worse.

Spot the person who is not watching news!

Will it be when they annex the West Bank Read history and check some UN document, illegal building of housing for Israeli has been going on for decades supported by Tax money from western countries. They literary conduct raid, steal farm land, abduct and prison youth for the last few decade! They are not waiting for Trump to do that!

Will it be when the slaughtering of Palestinians gets kicked into high gear, and the real elimination begins

Are you high ? Famine + 70% women and children of estimated 200,000 people have been going on for a year, do you think this is not a high gear? the continues supply of weapons suggest they are running out of bomb. "70,000 tons of bombs over Gaza, surpassing the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II."

The problem you are seeing is that, bomb are not enough to kill people, they have to go there on foot or use food to starve them and that is exactly what is happening now, with Democrat in office.

There will be a point, and it won’t take long, where nobody who is honest with themselves will be able to claim that we can’t know if Kamala would be better or worse.

Kamala made it clear she is doing nothing different and ( better or worse ) is not a statement here because there are no (better) when it come to genocide.
