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

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!

Lol it's definitely an election issue. It's gonna cost Biden the election.
No, what's going to cost Biden the election is that his country is (half) full of fuckwits.
I would say more than half, but that still wouldn't get me to vote for a guy enthusiastically aiding a genocide.
In fairness the only reason the other guy isn't currently "enthusiastically aiding a genocide" is because he lost an election and seems to spend every spare moment dipping between court and the golf course.
He's not been silent on the issue though.

Yeah it would suck to be an American right now, but it'd be even worse to be Palestinian.
So you have no ability to vote in this upcoming presidential election?
No, why would I?
Is that the rules here? Only pro Biden propaganda allowed?
Anybody from anywhere not America doesn't get to criticize dear leader, despite America's elections having global consequences? Which candidate do you vote for if you're against genocide? Did you get to vote in a primary to elect Biden as the Dem nominee? Do you have democracy where you live?
You fuck off if my free speech is making you uncomfortable.
But Trump wants the complete annihilation of Palestine. So neither side is with Palestine. If you're pro Palestine and help cost Biden the election, you're a damn moron
Do you think the Palestinians care which signature is on the order for more weapons to mutilate them?
Do you think Palestinians want a U.S. president who will at least acknowledge their right to exist or a president who will move their embassy to Jerusalem and tell Bibi to glass the land?
I don't think they give a fuck about who the president is if they're both supplying the weapons to genocide them. Let's ask some Palestinians, maybe.
Oh look someone already did
So your solution is to not vote for the Democratic incumbent?
Who said I have solutions? I'm some guy on the internet.
I don't live in your country, I don't get a vote. But guess what, no matter what happens, it still affects me because your stupid fucking world police military bullshit.
Many of us here aren't pleased with our stupid world police bullshit either. I thought you were trying to have a conversation but I see you were just complaining and washing your hands of it.
Maybe the next election cycle you guys will get a candidate who doesn't support a literal genocide. Good luck.
Genocide isn't on the ballot and isn't being voted on so tbh it's not that relevant to our election cycle.
