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!

And more than half wish he’d support Israel harder.
I live in a very Jewish area, with the Halocost Museum 20 minutes away, my brother in-law is Jewish, I'm friends with his whole family and a bunch of others. Nobody supports Israel, and it's a common topic of conversation. I don't know anyone either in local politics that supports Israel, and I am active there. Israel IS the problem - their horrible treatment of Palestinians resulted in Hamas rising to power. they're continued unrelenting land grabs and abuse have continue to strengthen Hamas. They want to continue to steal land, and if they make peace they won't be able to. If You total the body count over the last decade there are far far more dead Palestinians than there are Israelis.
Even now, with every civilian they kill in their response, they create four or eight more terrorists. Israel's government is on the fast track to authoritarianism with the anti-democratic movement there that is actually worse than the GOP here. We should not be giving them a dime. We don't owe them anything, and we're broke. We've giving them more than enough.
The Democrats are on the wrong side of history for every day they don't condemn the atrocities Israel is committing.
Poll in article says otherwise. Supporting Israel is wildly popular.
I hate the government of Israel.
I wish you were right.
Poll in article != definitive
Even my right wing father-in-law is against Israel, and he's the last person I expected to be speaking up about it. I would say the old people that aren't clued in via the internet still support Israel, everyone else that is aware of their terrorism, nope.
