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.

Wanna tell that to these Palestinians? It is patronizing colonialism to suggest you know better than they do.
You're so right, the reporter, Ahmed Masood, probably is totally incorrect. /s
I'm sure they will be ecstatic to know that they may soon be getting bombed by a brown woman. That will make their lives so much easier as they're still trying to dig their children out of the rubble.
Oh good point, I guess those Palestinians forgot all about the bombing and dead children and digging out their families when they said they prefer Harris to Trump.
You ain't no fucking ally, so don't pretend to be one. Responding to "Palestinians seem to prefer Harris" with "they'll be ecstatic that a brown woman is bombing them" is infantilising them and their opinions. It's disgusting.
Just say it, "anticolonialist". Say what you really mean, and that you know better than all of us brown people about what's best for us. Go on, continue to deride our difficult choices and tell us how much better you know than us.
You aren't living up to your username, and I hope that makes you second guess things. As a brown guy you're no better than a colonialist in my eyes. And I think my people have had enough of you.
They said no such thing, OP post is gaslighting bullshit

This is what I'm referring to. Palestinians hopeful that Harris will bring change and feeling encouraged that she's rebuked Netanyahu.
If people digging out their dead children can be hopeful that she'll bring change, instead of cynical, perhaps you should follow their example.
Which is as meaningless as her calls for a ceasefire while still supporting endless money and weapons
You haven't stopped it anymore than Kamala, get serious and go show us all how it's done, chump.
The difference is that she has the ability to I don't
Not at all, the vice president has like no powers or responsibilities. The most significant things they can do is break a tie in the Senate.
Biden and Harris have confirmed she has been instrumental in everything Biden has done. And shes said she wouldn't have done a thing different. This is her genocide as much as his
Pop quiz, what was the reason for Trump's first impeachment?
Halting money that Congress had allocated to a foreign country.
Biden and Harris have been calling for restraint and cease fires non-stop since the beginning here.
Give Harris Congress, and the she can put a stop to this shit.
Vote for Trump, or convince people to not support Harris, and the genocide will be accelerated.
That's it. Those are the choices.
And if Harris wins the presidency but loses Congress. Well, that's still better than Trump. At that point we'd be in for two to four years of nothing getting done either way.
Need I remind you that a speaker at yesterday's Madison Square Garden Trump rally claimed that "Palestinians are taught to kill us at two years old".
We've seen and heard this song and dance before, the outcome is always the same. The working class suffers. The rich get richer, and the status quo remains unharmed.
Actual Palestinians didn't find it meaningless, apparently. And if they can believe it, so can we.
Of everyone, people in Gaza have the most right to be cynical. Yet, they aren't. If they have hope, who are we to say their hope is wrong?
Laughing at hopeful Palestinians who face genocide every day. And you have the gall to consider yourself an ally?
You lie again 🤷
