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!

hopium is a powerful drug and there's still a chance that kamala might win so that drug is extra potent at the moment.

I used to think Universal Healthcare and UBI were good ideas. Now I spend my life tilting at windmills. Anyone have a red hat I can borrow?

Man AP's not pulling many punches. But I guess when both candidates have directly sponsored the murder of your journalists you stop caring about selling one or the other.

The list of things Harris has sponsored is relatively boring, none of them involve murdering journalists:

Funding Israel does result in murdered journalists, your farright neoliberal isn't better than the other.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Again, funding Israel is for their defense, how they choose to use that funding is on THEM. Not Biden and Harris.

[–] basmati@lemmus.org 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They have only used that funding for genocide and oppression. Settler colonial states have no right to defense, and funding said non existent right is inherently oppression. It is on Biden and Harris both, as it was in Trump before them.

They haven't though. See the deflected attacks from Iran.

[–] basmati@lemmus.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Self defense isn't an attack.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Correct, which is why we're providing them aid... for self defense.

If they choose to re-direct it into attacks, that's on THEM.

Iran was defending itself, Israel has never had the right to defend itself as it's only ever been a belligerent war starter.

And no after 80 years it's on the people supplying them.
