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!

You explained that well. I understand your viewpoint and where you and others are coming from. I don’t agree with what Israel is doing at all and I wish the Dems would do more to push back against Netanyahu. But I hate Trump and his ilk and see them as the greater threat.
I 100% agree. They've literally said that they would end democracy. Saleh calling literal democracy, a convenience? Is very irrational and suspect.
Democrats absolutely need to be better. But they're not going to get better if we keep splitting the vote and failing. The only way to make Democrats better would be to make them us. And the only way to do that. Would be to stop splitting the vote. Instead running Democratic candidates for all levels of the party as both Democrats and green party, or Democrats and any other left leaning party. Long-term either consuming the party from the inside or somehow magically replacing it from the outside are the only two options. Eating them alive is far more doable and possible to happen. And if we lose democracy even that becomes less likely to even impossible to happen. Because then we will only have one party and it will be the worst party.
