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!"

Trump is worse, though. They're not even upholding the supposed ceasefire and are pushing the Palestinians out with tanks, now.
Not saying Biden didn't shit the bed, but nobody with any functioning brains cells should have allowed Trump to win if they actually gave a single solitary fuck about Palestine.
Trump can go too
There is an overton window which is normally shifted right by the Republicans. Democrats took such a massive leap to the right under Biden by supporting a genocide that it has become fully normalized.
Trump would have taken such massive flak for it. But Biden used his election season to hush opposition and force them to accept genocide or concede the election.
Trump literally already supported the single state genocide solution in his previous term, and Biden never once supported single state.
Ya'll are just bad actors trying to dissuade people from voting for progress.
Illegally giving arms to genociders doesn’t feel like progress.
But I should know that the US will always support a genocide if they can make a buck.
Fuck this country.
Talking about dishonesty while making the most dishonest arguments.
Do you think Trump could get this many Americans on board for paying for a genocide when we don't even have healthcare?
Republican voters were for it, but not the "moderates". Nothing trump could have done would have gotten more than Republican support.
Biden normalized it and when high ranking Dems do shit like that because 5% of Dem voters and 100% of Republican voters want it...
No one stops them.
All Biden did was make Trump's current handling more acceptable to the general public because for four years they've been saying what Biden has been doing isn't that bad.
Despite violating multiple US and International laws.
You yourself, right now, are defending it and downplaying how bad genocide is, even if you're not trying to.
You're choosing to spend your free time downplaying the genocide of millions of fucking people.
Because at least it wasn't a Republican doing it.
Congrats, you now understand exactly how MAGA can support trump despite trump hurting them. You might not realize that tho.
There are little to none Moderate Republicans. 50 of them confirmed Hegseth, who literally unapologetically thinks killing off every Palestinian is the solution, and all of them consistently vote against socialized healthcare.
Biden earned that golden pager. trump just received it for some reason. Trump is continuing where he left off and it fucking gross. Both are evil when it comes to Gaza
