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!

This will greatly confuse the tankies.

Did you read her statement about the protestors?

Omg not a statement. My God, the world is OVER!

I mean it pretty much contradicts her statement about not being silent. The protestors are not being silent, and she condemns them more harshly than the genocide they protest. Also, she has been conspicuously silent thus far as her administration acts in full support of the genocide.

Okay? What do you want me to do about it? Your perspective is wrong, I'm not up for the challenge of fixing it for you.

I want you to stop being so gullible.

How? First off, Harris isn't Biden. No one is confused by this, but maybe you are because you think Harris must have the exact same stances and opinions as Biden. Second, it wasn't just "tankies" who were upset at Biden's enthusiastic support for genocide. Anyone with any shred of decency is against genocide. Finally, people like you claimed that Biden was our best chance to beat Trump and insisted that we all had to throw our support behind him because Trump is worse and that anyone criticizing Biden for supporting genocide is a tankie. Turns out that him dropping out to make way for a better candidate actually works and many Americans are excited that we don't have to support such a garbage candidate just because the other side has a worse candidate. The positive reaction to Biden dropping out was immediate and clear.

enthusiastic support

~~Are you fucking high?~~

Actually; how fucking high are you?

Biden was sending weapons and billions of dollars to israel while faking support to Palestinians (the shitty pier which didn't help much or last long was the biggest sign) in an attempt to contain backlash just so he could keep sending the weapons and billions of dollars to israel. Noticing something so obvious doesn't make me high, it just means I have a brain.
