Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Oh great, we've reached the blaming minorities part of the program.

I blame the smallest minority: jill stein

Can't wait four the next 3 years of nothing from her.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

If Jill Stein wasn't there those people would've voted for someone else or stayed home. The democrats had a whole year to tell Bibi to knock it off, and they didn't.

Trump: "go faster"

Stein voters werent a deciding factor in any swing states. So maybe they contributed, but theres more to it than that.

I wish I had that gif of Dems plugging their ears while walking past genocide protestors outside the convention this year.

Who's that woman in front? Feels like I've seen her before.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No clue, but she might be a local rep for you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh no I'm not even American. Anyway then I guess it's just me.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes, I'm sure that will cancel out the increase in genocides and human rights violations likely to happen under Trump's admin

Thanks. That's what I was thinking about.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not saying that. I think it shows very succinctly how the Dems always ignore different parts of their "big tent party" to court moderates that don't vote for them. It shows how out of touch they are and they will still refuse to learn anything.

Just blame the people protesting genocide. The people with energy and motivation to do something. Keep ignoring them instead of talking to them or listening to them. If they just pretend to give a damn, people might surprise you. A lot of people want to know their voice is being heard. Ignore them like children in the video and get ignored back.

I know the US isn't going to stop backing Israel. They are a strategic military position that the US might use in the future. I know this, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to voters concerns. Especially if I was the DNC and wanted their vote. We aren't going to get anywhere just ignoring each other.
