Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Protesting in a war zone of a foreign country on the side that started it and knowing how Israel is executing a genocide is a whole new level of stupid.

Americans are upset, just politicians are afraid to lose their annual bribes if they talk outside of church.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The other side gives bribes too. The only difference is that Israel has a stronger lobby and a bigger pot to finance their payoffs.

This will never end until we get the money out of politics.

Wait, what's the other side that pays folks to free Palestine? Honest question, because if they exist, they sure are doing a shit job.

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Nope US life is expendable.

Democrats are limp wristed when it comes to Israel. Expect more death, they won't raise a finger to stop it. Republicans aren't any better.

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Both sides huh? Last I heard the Democrats are negotiating a peace treaty and the Republikkklowns are writing finish them on the bombs.

What's your angle?

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Amazing how that it's already done peace deal still isn't done. Almost like dems and bibi don't care about getting it done

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love your blaming the dems as the world sits by. It's wild how the dems are more powerful than world combined. Weird almost.

[–] nednobbins@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The rest of the world combined isn't funneling billions of dollars worth of weapons into the conflict.

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The 10 year weapons deal signed in 2016? You do you, I'll blame Israel for the genocide and the rest of the world that isn't pushing for a peace treaty like the US currently is.

[–] SoJB@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 months ago

Let me get this straight. Liberals are now, unironically, using international law as a defense for being the primary arms supplier of a literal genocide. And that’s supposed to be an excuse to vote Blue MAGA.
