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!

Disgusting to blame the people who wouldn't vote for the party that refused to say they would stop the genocide. How about you blame Kamala Harris and the DNC for never saying they would do anything about it? At which point is it the fault of the shot callers? What you unwittingly are saying is "the Dems could of won by promising to stop genocide in Palestine and they couldn't do it"
That says a lot more about them than it does the protest voters.
I say this as someone who voted Kamala as a conscious lesser of two evils. I cannot blame anyone who decided they couldn't vote for a slower genocide
Absolutely disgusting to not vote Harris to stop this from happening.
Disgusting.
Morally repugnant.
You were warned. You knew what would happen.
You wouldn't even cast a vote to save a single Palestinian life and you're trying to claim some sort of fake moral high ground. This is on you. You are complicit in Trump's victory and all the horrible shit that's coming, because you knew what the stakes were and you thought it was more important to "teach the Democrats a lesson" than to lift a finger for the people of Gaza, of the West Bank, of Lebanon, of Ukraine, women, LGBTQ+ folk and basically anyone who isn't a millionaire.
You gave them all a massive fuck you because for some insane reason you thought that letting the genocidal maniac win would teach the Democrats that you can't win whilst arming genocide. Great logic there.
People and their families face oblivion one way or another, but your lack of empathy toward those who have nothing - but manage to lose more every day - shall surely keep you on the right side of history
I'm not sure you're replying to the post I wrote, or I just don't understand who you're talking about.
