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.

Harris wouldn’t have done this, you know it.
But all the protest voters assured us that not voting for Kamala would end the war in Gaza /s
that never happened
No centrist cares.
If they did, they wouldn't be a centrist
Harris of the Biden Harris administration that was arresting student protestors from the start?
Or Harris of the Biden Harris administration that deported more people than trump while dropping the number of new visas issued?
Did they disappear or deport people with green cards?
Answering a question with a question is pretty shitty.
They made a statement. You responded with leading questions that implied the statement is factually incorrect. The premise of your questions was also incorrect - the previous administration opposed the protests, but they did not send federal agents after protesters for arrests or deportations. Unlike the current administration.
Rather than answer (mis)leading questions, OP responded with questions to force you to explicitly answer whether their original statement is incorrect. Did Harris do this? Would Harris have done this? They're fair questions. But I guess only you get to ask questions around here.

Looks like yes, if you look for the stories. ICE is terrible no matter the administration.

Dude was deported when Trump was in office. But sure, blame Biden for it to show how committed you are to being uncommitted.
Were student protesters arrested by the Biden administration? I did not hear about this. Link?
Biden did support the crackdowns and arrests of about 3000 pro Palestinian protesters, including a law to label the protests as antisemitic and target universities that 'tolerate' the (peaceful) protests. He didn't deport any protesters. He did back both that law and the law that can label any pro-palestinian (and any pro- marginalized group) organization as' supporters of terrorism' to revoke federal funding and add tax penalties, both of which fit into Project Esther, the plan Trump is currently enacting as part of Project 2025

I’m aware that Biden was somewhat hostile towards the protesters but that’s not what was claimed. None of this really answers the question of whether the Biden administration arrested protestors. That would be highly unusual since most protests are handled by local police.
Yes, but on the other hand, I'm pretty sure those complaining about Genocide Joe knew that and preferred this result.
I can complain about Genocide Joe and hold my nose and vote for him, tyvm lib.
I'm just aware that y'all aren't ready to have either a completely functioning moral compass or intellectual integrity, much less fight Da Revolushun.
so what's your guess for a peace plan in gaza?
It's all fucked and will stay fucked because neither America or Israel had the balls or moral integrity to put their corrupt and traitorous executives in jail.
If Bibi had a soul he'd agree to this new plan backed by his neighbors but I'm not holding my breath.
so hamas have agreed? that's really great
Yes, dumbass. Try knowing things about the things you try to be snide about.
it's a ceasefire and an agreement to talk further so hardly an agreement to long term peace
I was frustrated by but never dared complained about Genocide President. This 10xGenocide President was running too so I held my fucking tongue. Now, amongst like-minded friends, YES! Public internet, NO.
Was this logically flawed? Doesn’t sound great (but bad situation all around)
butts (“NSFW text”)
My friends are going to ram either an enormous dildo or a generously-sized buttplug up my rear on January 6. Both are made out of lead. Do I
EVER
mention the buttplug is lead?
“Oh gee glad this lead dildo’s up there - as long as I advocated against it, just like the lil-less-Hitler option!”
(Sorry tired & gah)
If you voted for Harris, then you're not the person they're talking about. But it's easier to be smug than to properly read.
No. The center blames anyone who expressed even the slightest displeasure about their genocide for the loss they earned.
