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.

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!

Nevertheless, there's no difference in public policy, and "trust me bro" is not an answer to "how do they differ?" because "trust me bro" was the answer when people were upset at Biden for his unconditional support for Netanyahu's genocide.
I do not trust Biden, and I do not trust his acolytes when they tell me to trust anyone else. Because his acolytes were all in on genocide and still are.
Biden has not given any “unconditional support for Netanyahu’s genocide”, because again, if that were the case, then Netanyahu’s mission would be over by now
Sitting around and doing nothing (but providing weapons and cash) while Israel kills children looks like unconditional support to me
Netanyahu's mission is to stay in power. Ordering Biden to buy him a genocide is how he's doing that. I'm not sorry it isn't happening faster, though you seem to be.
I literally laughed out loud. Accusing me of being in favor of genocide, and a faster one at that, is a pretty weird and insane interpretation of everything I’ve said.
I believe that a Harris presidency would be better for Gaza than a Trump presidency. That’s the motivation behind everything I’ve said.
But if you don’t agree with me? Fine. You’re entitled to your own opinion. I just hope you don’t accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being in favor of genocide against any people. That’s bad for the soul.
I'd like evidence that her policies differ in any way from Biden's.
"Behind the scenes, now shut up" ain't that.
