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!

I don't have a burner account and my stance won't change after Nov 5th. The entire point of the article is about how Bernie is saying she is still better than Trump on the whole Israel-Gaza conflict. I am saying that's not a good enough argument to compel people to vote for her. She needs to effectively show what she wants to achieve and how she wants to achieve it. No bullshit about "Israel's right to defend itself and I support a ceasefire". Her current stance on this whole issue is not good enough. She has a lot of good policies, no doubt about that and no rational person can say she would be worse than Trump. But she is failing miserably on this topic, and that's an understatement.
It shouldn't be a contentious issue to demand better from world leaders. Especially the leader for the most powerful country in the world.
You can demand it after she's president then, when you continue to have rights in tact.
You won't get the opportunity otherwise. That's the fucking point.
This isn't a fucking game any more. This isn't a hypothetical. This is reality.
Excuse me what? Demand it after she gets voted in and can give even less shits? This is the time to demand things. I get people are scared of Trump getting elected, and rightfully so. But people still need to demand things like this. "Better than Trump" is a ridiculously shitty endorsement.
