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!

Now imagine how much worse it would be if we had a republican in office!
I'm starting to think all the "refuse to vote Biden because genocide" folks on here are propaganda bots. Like we know we're gonna have one of the two shit nuggets here, yall really wanna choose trump and get everything else terrible too?
I remember reading a few years ago that propaganda bots stopped even making posts, they just engage in vote manipulation (Reddit not here) because the bots were so successful that real people now parrot their points
Propaganda bots on a site with like 12 active users is more likely to you than people not wanting to vote in support of genocide?
Centrists love genocide so much that they cannot imagine actual humans disliking it.
Very much so yes.
You have an interesting perspective on the world
I don't think people who care about genocide are bots because most liberals have no actual morals and only care about their comfort being maintained and not actually fixing anything. Everyone knows Trump is worse. He is not the current President now.
Don't think Republican cares, they would hand their nukes to Russia
Israel doesn't need any support past the US preventing the UN from actually doing anything concrete, which is exactly what the Biden administration is giving them.
With the exception of airdropped supplies into Gaza, which other countries are also doing, and that hasn't been enough to prevent famine, what would Trump even do to make things worse?
Committing US assets to a war in the middle east is one of the three things Trump's voter base won't actually support.
First of all, I didn’t name names. But how would a Republican be different? They’re all hawks. They wouldn’t pressure Israel to wind things down at all, they might even put boots on the ground
Why are you getting into weird hypotheticals? If it's a republican, it will be Trump. If it's not, because he straight up dies, they'll still be the same voter base: a voter base which isn't going to accept boots on the ground.
"Pressuring" Israel has done precisely fuck all, which is my point. Because by "pressuring" you mean "asking nicely".
And you're right: a republican wouldn't be different. That's what I'm saying.
