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!

Right… you essentially said that you’re fine with Palestine being wiped out if it makes them shut up.
Your head isn’t just in the wrong place on this- it’s entirely absent from the discussion.
No, you misunderstood me completely.
I am fine with Palestine being wiped out if it makes YOU shut up.
They are fine, I actually don't have a problem with them, it is their land afterall.
Assholes like you going nuts and trying to drag everything to this issue even though it's one of the smallest and least important for this election? That pisses me off.
Okay. So I understand…
You’d be totally against Palestine being cratered if it means that Palestinians would shut up, but….
You’re fine with Palestine being cratered if it makes the obnoxious leftist shut up.
Do you see the flaw in your logic here?
And “assholes like me?” Dude, check comment history’s before you make ignorant accusations of people. I’m as anti leftists as they get. But I’m even more anti-ignorance. And this is the realm where your take lies.
Oh, and….
Byeeeeee!
You got it in one.
There was this guy in high school, we'd have debates, and whichever side he picked, our best debaters would pick the other side. And even if he picked a rational side, the other side would still somehow win.
Because he was a complete and utter cunt.
The moment he opened his mouth, everyone changed their mind away from him. I suspect this is an effect you're familiar with.
I guess what I'm saying is: If you, personally, genuinely care deeply for the Palestinian people and their cause?
Consider arguing in favor of the Israelis.
Wow…. Just… no.
