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!

You know what I think they should do, keep marching with Black Lives Matter carrying "Palestinian" flags screaming "From The River To The Sea", that should definitely get us all another Democratic government.
Do you know who are the second largest Democratic voters by group, white or minorities, Jews. Do you know whose been the backbone of Liberal Democratic politics for the last hundred years, Jews. Jews put their very lives on the line for the Civil Rights movement, and have been at the center of every single Democratic public good which put all people of color into the position to be able to rise to be the Democratic powerhouse they are today.
You guys should definitely keep trying to deligitimize Israels right to defense, and right to exist, bake it into the Black Live Matter charter, make Jews unwelcome in Liberal spaces, for the benefit of antisemitic Islamic Jihad supporters, because that seems like a sure winner.
Remember, you're on Reddit's step child, super LIBERAL Lemmy... you can't say those things without getting down voted and called out... god forbid we have a different opinion around here...
Most genocides have been construed as a defensive measure in the past. This one isn’t any different. Even if it was politically smart to genocide the Palestinians, it doesn’t make it correct or good. And many of the most vocal supporters of the Palestinian cause are Jews.
No, as a jew, fuck stealing other people's land and outright destroying their culture. What the fuck are you even saying right now??
Are you a fuckin' schlameel or what?
No need to answer.
Zionism is fundamentally antisemitic.
Foundationally antisemitic... "let's gather all the Jews into one country, tell them that's where they belong and only where they belong; the only place they could actually be safe. Anyone opposing this is clearly a racist/xenophobic and/or genocidal. Anyone standing in the way of this project must be destroyed, even if (perhaps especially if) they are themselves Jewish."
Dude, you trying to paint every Jew as a Zionist is the most racist shit
Every last centrist agrees with you. Except the ones who think you're not sufficiently pro-genocide.
