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!

Theuniparty requires unconditional support for Israel

The only thing to blame for her defeat is the American republican voters who are too fucking stupid and selfish to not be complete assholes. There is always things one could have done better, not having done perfect is just reality.

no fucking shit. idiots.

If you voted against Harris because of her Gaza stance, or daresay... voted for Trump because you thought he'd do a better job, congratulations, you elected a candidate who probably has his head even further up Netanyahu's arse than the Biden Administration did...

You reap what you sow.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

probably

You're not even sure are you.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Please explain to me how any voters thought taco would be better for Palestine than Harris. His whole family is biddy-biddy with bibi.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 1 hour ago

Off topic. This is about how they did a study proving this hurt public opinion and voter turnout by their agreed messaging about Palestine being an acceptable loss for donor satisfaction.

Can we look at those facts and realize that there may need to be adjustment in Democratic party since they are the focus of what this is and what needs to change instead if getting stuck on the emotional rage bit?

My surprised Pikachu meme died a while ago. Pretend I'm posting him here.

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 31 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Wow! You mean that thing that a shitload of people were screaming warnings about has finally been heard? And only 18 months too late to do anything about it! At this rate, they might figure out that trump is a pedophile before he dies. I sure do have a lot of hope that future elections are gonna go well and totally not be ratfucked out in the open with no pushback of any actual consequence. I'm glad that there will be a stern letter threatening to file a lawsuit (that will never happen) due to armed CBP and ICE at the polls terrorizing BIPOC. Inspiring stuff, papa Schumer!

Why would anyone waste their time studying something that's blatantly obvious?

Can someone conduct a study to confirm that hot is hot and cold is cold?

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Cause they get to pay themselves millions of donated dollars to do this study and then get paid millions more to come up with an Ad campaign to "fix" it

And that campaign, we need more Republican voters and to ignore the left entirely!

[–] KiloGex@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago

Ya, no shit.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

All the crummy neo-lib takes makes me regret having voted for it to begin with. I compromised myself for the sake of damage control and I'm furious about it. I consider a neo-liberal as no better than MAGAt because when the mask comes off, they aren't.

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

The neolibs are usually treating LGBTQ+ folks and immigrants as remotely human, as opposed to targets. Even if you find the two parties to be woefully similar on too many big issues, please remember that, for as long as we exist in the shit system where election day really only lets you meaningfully choose between these two shitty parties, the lives of disenfranchised and vulnerable people do sit in one of the areas of difference where your vote could change something.
