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’m really trying to figure out how this piece is propaganda. What, specifically, about it is propagandistic?
Gaza is an issue that many Americans are passionately furious about. And while Booker’s speech was great in general, and I’m happy he’s at least trying stuff, I was also disappointed that a man known for his moral clarity didn’t focus on Gaza more. Is that propaganda? Please, help me understand.
I get it, I really do. The plight of the people of Gaza is terrible.
But the current US administration is never going to do anything about that. Never. They'll only make the suffering worse.
I think the "propaganda" accusation is in regards to OP posting endless divisive rhetoric against anyone going against the current US administration.
It doesn't help Gaza to keep the current administration, and just because someone doesn't mention Gaza doesn't mean they don't care about Gaza. Context matters.
Their very next post (to this community no less) is attacking the Trump administration
Okay, my interpretation may be incorrect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ah, thanks for the context, I wasn’t aware of OP’s posting behavior.
all media is propaganda.
Everything they dont like is propaganda
