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.

In a better world there would be a "no genocide" option, unfortunately we didn't have any of those options once the election rosters were finalized so we ended up with a slow rolled mildly economically sanctioned genocide under biden or an accelerated genocide under trump or a non-serious third party in a country where the last third party to win an election was 170 years ago.
Congrats the accelerated genocide won out over the status quo. I did what I could with what is available to me, I voted against the worse option with an actual chance to win.
Anyone who tried to pressure Democrats into being a "no genocide" option was screamed at by the same pro-genocide centrists who are now blaming them for Harris' loss. But yeah, you sound real broken up about there being no "disagree with you about genocide" option.
I also voted for Harris, despite her support for your genocide.
If you're going to quote me, use all of what I said. You left out the "by the end of the campaigning." part.
At the end of the day, I voted for Harris and voted against an accelerated genocide because the final choice after months of atrocious debates and rushed campaigning and people rightfully calling out Netanyahu's campaign against Gaza and the Palestinians a genocide, no matter who was funding Israel. But people wanted to talk about Genocide Joe like he was masterminding the entire genocide and ignoring Trump literally threatening to make it worse by telling Netanyahu he can have all the money and weapons he wants to finish it quickly.
Biden didn't mastermind shit. He mindlessly followed the leader of a genocidal regime.
Holy fucking shit you're literally proving my point. You're so focused on Joe Biden's passive participation you're ignoring Trump actively making it worse. Do you agree that Trump is making the genocide worse?
Selling weapons isn't passive.
Well, it's bad enough that some centrists are finally admitting that it is a genocide, so yeah. It's your wing of the party's only policy, so I don't see why you're so upset that it's being carried out by a kindred spirit.
I guess I have to preface everything I say with a disclaimer of pro-genocide centrist talking points in order to satisfy the trump-adjacent wing of the party.
