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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

I'm not disagreeing that genocide is bad but the other guy probably supports Israel as well since they're Republican. It's your right to not vote but anyone else reading and not voting is the same as supporting the other person by allowing them to be voted in. By not picking a side, you're picking a side and giving the other side a free pass. You're basically saying that you are ok if the opposition who supports Israel gets elected because you didn't use your vote to cancel out a vote. Either way you're supporting Israel.
The choice here is to vote for a candidate that supports Israel and the rights of Americans or someone that supports Israel and opposes American rights or not vote and let someone else decide for you. You can wait for your perfect candidate while the opposition votes in theirs. It's your right.
This "not voting supports the other side" argument goes both ways.
If either way my vote supports Israel then I suppose my choice never really mattered to begin with. If you support Israel you will go back on any claim you make supporting Americans.
Nope. If both candidates are Israel supporters then no matter what Israel will be supported regardless of how you vote. What you are saying is that the person sitting next to you doesn't deserve rights because you failed to vote against the opposition because the Democrat candidate isn't perfect. I'm not excusing the Dem candidate for supporting Israel but I'm saying that all Americans should enjoy the same rights and the voters options are limited. You disagree and that's your right, but I hope that you aren't going around advocating for human rights while also strengthening the position of those that would take those rights away. This is a fight won in inches not miles.
this is bad faith
The irony of claiming human rights while voting for those doing genocide and silencing those who speak out is rich. Thanks for the laugh I needed that this morning.
The irony of being a fascist and doing their dirty work for them. No thanks for your support of fascism.
Im not the lib voting for genocide but say whatever you gotta to sleep at night ;)
Correct. You are a fascist supporter throwing your weight behind the fascists.
When are you revolting?
No, this is more ironic.
