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

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 never stopped feeling angry that such an epic moron was elected president and used it to enable a genocide.
Trump is signaling the go ahead to dick down the West Bank like they’ve already done in Gaza by removing sanctions against the most violent Israeli settlers, sanctions that were enacted by Biden. So idk who the epic moron here is.
Someone who thought "the other guy is more genocidal" was a winning message.
I'm so weary of this genocide narrative.
Yes, the situation in Pallestine is terrible. Yes, it seems like Biden enabled it.
The thing is, there's so much more at stake here. Did you see the part people are doing Nazi Salutes now? Or any of the executive orders signed in the last 24 hours?
Things are getting so much worse.
I can only agree. The Democrats are just as bound to the funding of the billionaires as the Republicans, they just have to hide it better in order to have a chance to win something.
The Roman Empire fell slowly, and now it's our turn. I only hope that true socialism can emerge from the ashes.
Stop the fucking fatalistic nonsense. Doomerism only fucking enables evil to continue to operate - GO AND DO THINGS.
I disagree.
It's important to pick your battles. Control what you can control and practice acceptance for the rest. If you get worked up about every little thing in the coming months you'll just get burned out.
Nonsense.
Anyone that cared about the plight of Palestinians voted democrat, because the dems would have delivered a dramatically better outcome than what is going to happen now.
They've had over a year to deliver a dramatically better outcome. I voted democrat straight down the ticket like I always do, but I'm not going to delude myself into thinking they were actually going to produce a better outcome because biden refused to apply any pressure on israel and instead only sent billions of dollars of weapons in support. Harris was looking to continue the same policy. It should be a very easy win to denounce genocide, but they couldn't even do that during an election when they needed the votes. Why would they change policy after winning when they didn't need the votes?
Again, this take is just nonsensical. It's illogical.
Natanyahu is going to grind Palestinians into the dust with Trump's backing. Palestinians would be better off with Harris as POTUS.
Yet you're trying to assert that Harris lost because she didn't win the votes of people who care about the plight of Palestinians? That's an absurdity.
