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.

It isn't ideological purity. The only people who give up ground is Dems that is why the GOP can dog walk them while going on about space lazers and weather control. There should be some limits when it comes to people like Dick Cheney getting a pass. I've done the whole vote for the lesser evil. I'm good. I'll do what I can locally and vote down ballot for in local elections.
When Trump can come out call Harris for adopting his policies and she has nothing to say back. I'm good. I don't support right-wingers even with (D) next to their name.
We all know who you really want in power. Transparent as fucking glass.
A person who isn't backing genocide and with an agenda for working class and poor people. Pretty lowbar.
genocide jill is perfectly fine with genocides except for the one that's hot in the news right now.
by the way, those people are who are being genocided in the genocide hot in the news right now? they support kamala harris.
you don't care about genocide. especially that one. because if you did you would be voting for her. it's either you hate israel or you just refuse to vote for a black woman or you want to vote for trump or some combination of the 3.
I'm black why would I vote for Harris just because she is black and an active member of ongoing genocide? We're not monolith.
you assume too much.
she is not a member of an ongoing genocide. that would be the government of israel, specifically benjamin netanyahu and his war cabinet. they are using the weapons we gave them to defend against iran in a conflict disproportionate to the way they were attacked and they are disinterested in paying us the united states any attention with requests and demands unless trump gets in who will allow netanyahu to act in gaza without restraint.
so tell me, which one do you want, someone who will use all the soft power we have to influence israel's actions, or do you want someone who will allow israel to make what's going on in gaza look like a water gun fight and then target the west bank next?because don't you dare believe that gaza will be the end of this.
i am also black. I early voted. I didn't vote for her because she's black. I voted for her because she's not a wannabe dictator, a 34 time felon, a credibly accused insurrecionist, a credibly accused thief of government documents, a racist, a bigot, a narcissist, an adjudicated rapist and sexual abuser, an adjudicated con artist, an adjudicated tax fraud, showing severe and obvious signs of mental decline, and is the only person who has the ability to be president since literally every third party candidate is not on enough state ballots to constitute the necessary 270 electoral college votes needed to become the president.
"she is not a member of an ongoing genocide." She is VP of the United States which is funding genocide which is the admin she is a part of. She isn't some powerless lacky. She isn't going to win the state I'm in and she is openly endorsed by Dick Cheney. Not being Trump isn't good enough. I do think Trump should lose. Voting is transactional she has only courted the GOP and done nothing to earn my support. I got my ballot and I will be voting early as well.
I shouldn't have to infinitely vote for the lesser evil and be on the same side as war criminals like Dick Cheney because liberals have no standards. Also people being burned alive now. There is no need for hypotheticals when the Biden admin continues to arm fund the imaginary state of Israel.
When Trump wins I'm sure you'll be happy all of your concerns have been laid to rest.
Why would I? I don't like right-wing war criminals like liberals do with Dick Cheney. Harris closer to policy on Trump than anyone else.
Man, you've got to stop with the imaginary bullshit. You sound like a crazy person on the street.
You could be phone banking for your genocidal leader instead of being mad at reality.
I guess you skipped the whole shift right on immigration from Dems or you don't pay attention,
Whatever you say crazyman. Don't forget your meds tonight, you know how you get without them.
Alright crackhead.
Lmao what? That escalated quickly
