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!

"They were criticizing him for not sending in the Marines in trucks to blow through Israeli forces and start even more trouble. Lemmy is full of disingenuous idiots."

Nobody said this. No effort strawmans aren't how you prove genocide is ok :p

In fairness, it's impossible to prove that genocide is ok, because genocide is never ok. So all he has left are the no effort strawmen.

The article says nothing at all like that. The closest thing anyone in it says is that dropping supplies isn't enough and we should do more to end Israel's offensive. Why are you making shit up? What's the point in pretending anyone has said what you're claiming they're saying? You haven't seen anyone say it, yet you act like have. What's the goal with this particular strawman?

How about instead of downvoting you actually show me a single instance of people saying the US needs to attack Israel? Surely you can find at least one case of this thing that people are supposedly saying? Maybe I just missed it in the article and you could quote it for me

I'm sure you read every single post on every community. It couldn't possibly be that there are a bunch of dumbasses who don't understand politics and suggest dumb stuff.

It's not people here at all, which is why you had to deflect to an article.

An article that also doesn't say a thing about sending in the Marines like you claimed.
