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!

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

Absolutely disgusting to not vote Harris to stop this from happening.

Disgusting.

Morally repugnant.

You were warned. You knew what would happen.

You wouldn't even cast a vote to save a single Palestinian life and you're trying to claim some sort of fake moral high ground. This is on you. You are complicit in Trump's victory and all the horrible shit that's coming, because you knew what the stakes were and you thought it was more important to "teach the Democrats a lesson" than to lift a finger for the people of Gaza, of the West Bank, of Lebanon, of Ukraine, women, LGBTQ+ folk and basically anyone who isn't a millionaire.

You gave them all a massive fuck you because for some insane reason you thought that letting the genocidal maniac win would teach the Democrats that you can't win whilst arming genocide. Great logic there.

People and their families face oblivion one way or another, but your lack of empathy toward those who have nothing - but manage to lose more every day - shall surely keep you on the right side of history

I'm not sure you're replying to the post I wrote, or I just don't understand who you're talking about.

Bubby. I voted harris. But at the end of the day I cannot be more mad at millions of people for not voting when there is a few handful of people running the DNC who made the bigger mistake.

I am upset that we couldn't harm reduction this time. But at the end of the day I am MORE upset the Dems did nothing to stop the incoming train and not only that but they are in a higher position of power and there are fewer of them. Change can be made blaming the Democrats. No change, only anger can be made by blaming random people who you don't even know the voting status of.

Idk how you voted. What I do know is the DNC lost the election. That should be the focus. put your righteous and correct anger where it belongs. Into the DNC so they don't lose the next one.
