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.

Antifa was last year.
Can you explain how Antifa is a terrorist group?
I'd love specifics.
What specifically have they done? Who have they terrified? Hell, even just... Who is the group?
Antifa isn't a group like Al Qaeda, The Taliban, ISIS, The Proud Boys, etc. it is an anti-fascist philosophy. So if you're actively against antifa, that necessarily puts you on the side of fascists. Keep that in mind when looking at who is vocally against antifa and trying to demonize antifa.
Opposing Israel is not synonymous with Antifa.
It's just synonymous with American patriotism
That’s not the point, I was shutting down right wing rhetoric.
Sorry misread your comment out with the dog. I agree, it’s just common sense.
What right wing rhetoric? They just made a factual statement. Antifa WAS declared a terrorist org. It's insane nonsense that doesn't even define what antifa is but it's true.
We’re not talking about antifa is the point because he’s unrelated to them.
My understanding of their incredibly vague comment that you are reading an awful lot into, is that terrorist designations are silly and mean mostly nothing because the people doing the designating are untrustworthy.
But you can feel however you want about things
I already edited to include my misunderstanding. Not sure what you’re on about.
Antifa is good and is also a terrorist org according to America.
AIPAC is bad and should be a terrorist org according to America, but is not.
These designations are silly.
You declared that you were not talking about antifa but the other person pretty clearly brought it into the conversation, albeit in a confusing way and you didn't understand what they meant and attacked them. I just think that is kind of silly as well.
Read back for an accurate understanding of what happened. Opposing Israel is democratic at this point is what happened.
You can have any feelings you want about the different organizations. Antifa is not tied to Mamdani so associating them is irresponsible. You can call that silly all you want that’s how rumors spread.
How did they associate mamdani with antifa? If anything they associated it with AIPAC.
It was in the comment I was responding to originally… That’s how it was relevant. Thanks for playing.
You meant he one that only said antifa was designated a terrorist org last year? That one?
