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!

Ah, policy wonk eh
Complicity in genocide tends to make me a single-issue voter.
So you're voting for Trump? Not voting? You know Trump said Israel needs to "finish the job," right? And that he's advocated for using nukes in the middle east? I don't think Biden has done enough, but he's the best alternative by a wide margin.
If the choice is between complicity in genocide and saving myself the five minutes it'd take to fill out a mail-in ballot in my solid-blue state, then I'm definitely not going to bother with voting.
Biden has every opportunity to legitimately earn my vote, but he'd rather keep selling weapons to Israel and you chose to complain to me instead of him.
Despite the fact that trump will be ten times - easily ten times worse for Palestine?
Ok. Weird, but it’s your vote to throw away.
If that perspective helps you sleep at night then you're welcome to it. Personally, I got bored with it back in 2020 when I refused to vote for Democrats after the shit they pulled in the primary.
I don't suppose you'd also want to hold me party to Biden's actions in office thus far because I didn't vote against him? XD
Don't forget that time Trump tried to goad Iran into a war by assassinating a military official on allied soil.
