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!

The victimization from you is insane.
You're right. Genocide is victimless.
In this equation, you are playing victim by painting yourself as "opposition to genocide." When called on this, you pivoted to pretend the poster was insulting victims of genocide
I wanted to tell you that kind of cheap pivoting technique doesn't work here. I'm entirely against genocide and stand with Palestine, but this grandstanding is intellectually dishonest and makes you look like an entire clown.
I won't be replying further on this.
Very well said.
Thank you very much.
I find it very amusing that you compared them to an entire clown and not some fractional amount of clown
I'm so glad you pointed that out. I'll be using clown fractions moving forward.
I mean, I do oppose genocide. Don't you?
Again twisting words. That's all ya got, champ.
What do you imagine I twisted this time?
Never said that. I'm describing you.
I'm a victim for pointing out that he's belittling opposition to genocide?
No, you're victimizing yourself as the opposition that's being belittled. This is why I'm calling you out on victimization.
Did I say he was belittling me?
I said he was belittling all opposition to genocide, which he absolutely was.
Aren't you the opposition to genocide in that argument? Hence, you crying about being belittled?
Scroll up to the beginning. He wasn't attacking me, he was attacking opposition to genocide. Do you suppose I'm the only one who is vocal about it?
No you're the only one crying about it.
I saw a guy mocking opposition to genocide, found it disgusting, and said as much.
