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!

"genocidin Biden"? No wonder you're not voting, you sound like you're 12. Go to your room and think about what you just said, young human. It's not as deep as you think it is.
The situation in Gaza is tragic, and can't be solved with a soundbite. But anyone who thinks outcomes will be better with Trump in office is delusional. Trump has proven that he doesn't really care about human rights, he cares about enriching himself. The Palestinians will be sold to the highest bidder. Is that what you want?
Also, my bad, it should be Genocidin’ Biden with a capital g and an apostrophe for proprieties sake
I like it more than genocide Joe, hell at least I still capitalize his name.
I’m 37 and voted blue from 18.
The party is officials are ignoring my concerns therefore, I no longer support them.
Feel free to do so if you’d like, I don’t intend on standing in your way.
You did not have my back, and now I won’t have yours
Cool, so you're just a fucking idiot then, got it
Loyalty is a 2 way street. I fronted the party some and they fucked me when it came time to pay it back.
I’ll give you some good life advice, never give your loyalty to someone who ignores you.
I’ll tell you what, maybe you can go bypass congressional oversight to do what you want.
Maybe you can give unlimited support to him, but I won’t help a bad person.
We're talking about voting, not loyalty.
Of course you will. Choosing to throw away your vote is a choice nonetheless.
I mean, if I really disagreed that much I could just vote for the other guy out of spite.
I support the rest of what y’all stand for enough not to help the enemy, I just can’t stand the thought of standing next to you anymore.
Browbeating is satisfying, and is less work than addressing the issue and trying to make progress toward a resolution. Do you suppose that your response made it more likely that the person you responded to will behave in the way you want?
Dismissiveness indicates an aversion to introspection.
I am not averse to introspection, I did a lot of it before I made my decision.
Morally, I can not support someone who wants to kill Gazans so badly that he did a run around around congress, twice.
He even confirms that he is not concerned about it, just the optics on israel.
I didn't say you were. I was referring to your interlocutor.
Ah, my apologies then.
