Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I would like ANYONE to stick a camera into the face of these Arab and Muslim leaders who told their followers to help get trump elected because they didn't think Joe Biden was acting fast enough or giving them the attention they wanted and ask them if their feelings are still hurt with news like this.

I'm sure the people of Gaza are so pleased with them and their stupidity

Where are the many leaders that, deciding to withhold support from Biden and the Democrats, sought to INCREASE support for Trump? I don’t see them.

Reducing support for one candidate lowers the threshold for the other to win, so staying home absolutely supports Trump, same with voting third party thanks to our wonderful system here

They have always wait for US green light to do it and they have always had it

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

They've been waiting for our permission each time?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

And exactly zero people are shocked by this.

I don't care who gets bitchy over this;

America chose bald faced fascism and genocide, over the chance to end genocide and not-fascism.

Suck eggs, whenever you can save up for them. The stay-at-homes are just as guilty.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -5 points 2 weeks ago

Stopping the genocide was never a choice in the table with the red and blue party

There was no chance under biden or harris that the genocide would end without running to completion. None. They're both centrists, and genocide is the only policy I've never seen a centrist abandon.

Voted harris but refuse to carry water for genocide supporters.

Suck eggs = children are dying and I’m gloating over it.

Anything to own the lefties though, eh.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Grater than this 0% ? Sure was.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

It was always 0% because genocide is bipartisan.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Not with pro-genocide centrists running against pro-genocide fascists.
