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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

According to you, your wing got Trump elected, so it does.

Now where did I say that? Your wing is the one that thought genocide was the most winningest issue ever.

Your obvious implication is that if Kamala put on a keffiyeh, people would have turned out en mass to vote for her. The implication being your side sitting this one out gave Trump the election.

And, considering he did win, it would appear that genocide is a winning strategy.

You're continuing to be ridiculous. All she had to do was put one lousy photon of daylight between her and biden on the subject. That was too big an ask.

The implication being your side sitting this one out gave Trump the election.

We tried to warn you that it would happen. We could read the writing on the wall. Your wing chose to ignore it because you just loved genocide that much.

And, considering he did win, it would appear that genocide is a winning strategy.

If you're trying to appeal to people who love genocide, it is. That's republicans. They were never going to vote for harris. That's the problem with moving to the right. republicans don't believe you but democrats do,

You were never going to vote for Harris.

You would rather whine about Democrats than actually act to prevent the Republicans from actually engaging in genocide.

Because the God honest truth is you don't give a fuck about Gaza. This is all about stroking your ego and that is all it has ever been about. And that is why you will remain totally irrelevant, because you don't aim to accomplish anything and nobody will ever support your political ego trip.

I did vote for harris. I also tried to warn the pro-genocide wing of the party what would happen. Lots of people like me did. Pretty sure centrists knew and didn't care as long as no one listened to the left.
