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.

Genocides are horrible things that should never happen but too many people are using the word as critical-thought terminating cliches.
It's like trying to talk to an anti-abortionist and the only thing they can do is call you a baby killer.
You have to decide if you wanted to win the election or not, and its never been clear to me that you ever actually wanted to win. What its always appeared to be, is that you wanted to mantain ideological control of the party (which you did do, and have continued to: the party is still pro-genocide).
But what is clear, is that the party could not win with the general election with a Democratic candidate supporting a genocide.
How many house and senate democrats support Israel and how many don't?
Did you want to win the election or not? The only path to winning was to get Harris to change her stance on Gaza.
Are you able to answer the question or are you dodging it because the answer doesn't line up with the narrative you're pushing?
They said, as they dodged the question.
Did you want to win the election or not?
The world now recognizes that the only path to winning was to get Harris to change her stance on Gaza. Do you?
I asked you a question and you dodged it.
Answer it and I'll answer yours but there's no reason to engage with you until you do.
Its not a relevant question. We're talking about Harris and their campaign. I actually don't give a shit if you answer me, because you live with your whole ass exposed. Its no secret you didn't really give a shit about stopping Trump or you would have advocated that Harris change their policies.
I understand the world is a messy place with lots of shades of gray and that's scary to people who want it to be in black and white and have it easy to tell what's right and wrong as you do.
The question is relevant.
You've consistently argued against strategies that would have resulted in a Democratic W; there is no debating this.
You are a fraud, a fascist, a genocidal apologist, and should probably just go be a Republican. We could actually win elections if it were not for your involvement.
If you're refusing to answer it I won't spend the time to continue this conversation with you.
This isn't a train station fam. No need to announce your departure.
You and yours handed this country to fascism.
There was one path to stopping Trump: The candidate needed to change their policy on Gaza.
You advocated against that path. Trump is yours.
In another comment in this thread you just called me and I quote 'a fascist and pro-genocide.'
There is not reason to continue this conversation with you until you can continue in a more civil fashion.
Lotta fucking responding for someone not continuing this conversation.
You are both a fascist and pro-genocide. You advocated for electoral strategies which conclusivly led to fascism. You spent the entirety of 2023/ 24 demanding Democratic voters support genocide. You'll never escape from that.
