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 really wanted to like that guy. What a huge disappointment and apologist for genocide.
What a turn for the worst.
Pulling back on Ukraine, scared to upset Putin, but going all-in on funding genocide and Israel starting wars with every country in the middle east
Yes, I was really hoping that A. Blinken would be more of an advocate against oppression
Blinken has been terrible since day 1 what a milquetoast devos level appointment. I was a fan of most of bidens appointments but this one was purely pay to play iirc.
It is so so strange to me that there are Americans who want Tlaib to ignore her Palestinian heritage, and be "American first" because she is a representative of the American electorate.
Ignoring the fact that she probably has Palestinian/Arab constituents, these are also usually the same people who shout about their European heritage 5 generations back or whatever (don't even get me started about their claims of descending from Henry the Eight or whatever), and also never actually "claim" Tlaib as American in any other circumstances because she's not visibly of European descent.
Like...make it make sense, Robert from HR, who can't be a direct descended to Henry the Eight because it is literally impossible.
Like...make it make sense
Easy: they're lying bigots. When they say “America first", what they mean is " White cishet Christian men from America first and the rich ones first amongst them"
That's far too long, complicated, and honest for a jingoistic slogan, though..
Anti-immigrant sentiment has always been thinly veiled racism in America. Islamophobia, which is normalized in America, hasn't even been thinly veiled, it's just been straight up racist. But Americans have been conditioned into just thinking it's just normal, dehumanizing Muslims and all non-white immigrants without being aware of it (It's intentional to the US State Department ofc, to justify it's imperialism)
I hope this is the catalyst for Americans to confront this for the racism it is. I feel like many still think racism has been 'solved' in America since the Civil Rights Movement, but the reality is that it simply shifted and still needs to be addressed seriously
