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!

Great video but I really can't agree with this protest pushing abstinence from voting on the upcoming election. I get that the current administration is enabling this, but the vote for the American president encompasses so much more than international strife. I wish we could separate that notion because it feels like a it's been driven by foreign influence to sway the election. We cannot allow another Trump term. Cannot. If you think a protest for Palestine today is going to impact the presidential election as a "lesson" to your fellow Americans then the next protest against the policies of Project 2025 and Trump, will end up overshadowing all that you're protesting now and the genocide will continue. Project 2025 will destroy America and anything left of Palestine. Yes war needs to stop, but voting for the lesser of two evils is all we get now. There will be not reckoning event for Democrats, they just need to claw back enough power to hold the legislative and keep it from the GOP while also making considerable changes to their own power structures within their party.
Yeah, he's basically calling for people to support Trump by not voting. It'll accomplish the exact opposite of what he's advocating.
