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!

They won’t, because they know if they do Israel will bomb them like they do other journalists and aid workers.

I'm pretty sure they actually can't at all. Israel bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza.

Traditional move of someone completely innocent and not trying to hide anything

In another timeline Bernie won the Democratic primaries in 2016 and was ultimately elected president of The United States of America. His policies are so popular that both republicans and democrats overwhelmingly support him.

I bet you it’s pretty nice over there right about now.

The global pandemic, rise of fascism, the active collapse of global ecosystems, climate crisis and wealth gap are probably less of a problem there. But I bet they're still stuck working in offices, so we have that going for us.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

Don't worry. They're working on that. I have to start going back to the office 3 days a week :(

Damn, the world of a better place, i bet Boeing's assassination crew would have got him tho.

Damn shame Bernie is not younger, because he would stomp on all the candidates and especially Putin's Fucking Sock Puppet.

Why are we linking to Reddit?!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (2 children)

With how Israel has been killing journalists, this is not going to happen. Those mainstream media, that support Israel, know well enough what is happening. It's not like they actually believe their own lies.

Thank you Bernie for speaking the goddamn truth.

Mainstream media: "We would but we cut our foreign correspondent budget to pad our profit margins"

You spelled Sanders wrong. It's in the headline, how do you even do that? And why are you posting reddit links here?

Bernie appropriately giving the anti genocide slogan to throw at media everywhere.

"Go to gaza" "Point your cameras at the children Netanyahu is killing and ask them if they condemn hamas."

"our audience don't want to see that. They just want to know who Tay-tay fuckin'."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Why would for-profit media companies do something like that? It's dangerous, expensive and brings in less money than clickbait about celebrities.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Netanyahu's policies are Judaism, right?
