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!

Right when he's completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.

You just never looked into what they're really doing, and for some reason media isn't keen on reporting all the good proposals and legislations they were doing, I wonder why.
This administration was the best one in centuries, both in terms of legislation and in terms of administrative work. The only question they aren't good on is Palestine, and incidentally it's the only thing that media suddenly cares about, I wonder why(2).

The only thing they didn't do good on was that one small genocide they enabled, hah oops lmao

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 days ago (15 children)

It's such a good thing there is an alternative that really, really great at stopping genocides. We are so happy that now those evil genocidal maniacs will be out of the office and there will be no genocides forever. They will finally stop pressing that genocide button that they have, which controls genocides.

This reads as sarcasm. Except its not so much a button that stops genocides, its... a different mechanism

Edit: evidently this was not clear enough. The mechanism is not legal to mention.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Every genocide has to stop eventually. Otherwise it's not a very effective genocide...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Intent is just as important as the result.

I am starting to believe that Americans trully believe there is a mechanism that starts and stops genocides and it's located within reach of the American president. This notion is so fucking wild it's impossible to believe y'all really totally thinking it, but it is jingoistic enough for me to start believing y'all are bathsit insane enough for it.

If the US stopped giving armaments and money to Israel once it became clear what they were doing and then followed up with actual punitive measures yes it would have stopped it. Israel is committing genocide with the approval of the US.

If every politician that supports genocide gets removed from office, the genocides stop. What a surprise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Do you also believe they have egg prices dial? Oh, by the way, you got your wish, the current administration will be removed from the office, if a genocide will not stop in February, will you eat your words and admit that you were wrong or not?

[–] Scubus 3 points 3 days ago

So, did you not read what I said? I said "all politicians that support genocides get removed, genocides stop"

If all politicians that support genocides get removed, and yet america is still somehow magically supporting genocide, yes, ill eat my words. Itd be real difficult to eat though, as that is fundamentally impossible.

Also comparing a genocide to egg prices is facetious and in bad faith. If you pull another strawman like that im going to assume you are a troll and stop engaging.

Considering they can subsidize anything they want, kind of, yes. Why can't we have a small temporary subsidy when the chickens get sick on a massive scale? Is that too logical?
