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!

People who sat out on voting for Kamela over the Biden handling of Gaza voted for this.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They never gave a shit about Palestine. It was just another example of "The Issue" for them to base their entire personality around to pose online.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

They're getting exactly what they voted for, but probably not what they wanted. But at least bLuE mAgA lost right guys?

Anyone who isn't a moron knew that would be his plan.

As usual, dead silence from the “Democrats bad, Genocide Joe” crowd.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Time to face the facts: Those people just wanted Trump to win.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That’s definitely the point.

Not silence, just more bullshit unfortunately. I’ve seen them continue to defend their position.

Edit: In this post!

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It's OK, they wanted this apparently.

I hate to say "I told you so", but there it is. Nothing is in place to stop Trump and Netenyahu from going truly scorched earth on Gaza and the West Bank now.

Time to see what a real, unmitigated genocide looks like.

Yes. The guy who intends to "clean out" the United States as well. It really smacks of a familiar thing...can't really put my finger on it though.... certainly must have happened in the past hundred years or so...

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What's the opposite of a humanitarian?

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It says it right there in the first word of the title.

The way he can't even say who's responsible for Gaza looking like a "demolition site".

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Clean it out with US supplied 155 mm artillery shells. To the Muslim MAGA voters, you got what you asked for...FAFO! Zero sympathy. The Orange Nero would like to do the same thing to Blue States.

So he supports the Endlösung of the Palestinian question? Just like Netanyahu and his right-wingers?

Yeah clean it out and build trump tower. This was pretty clear from the very beginning.
