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.
- 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.
- 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!

This is all posturing, in my opinion.
bOtH pArTiEs finance Israel, we built that country for a reason and it's doing exactly what it was created to do.
Churches aren't as powerful as they once were, but they're as rich as ever, and they also funnel billions more into Israel. It's the nexus of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, so... of course.
... and they don't pay taxes for some reason, fancy that. So all Americans directly and indirectly support Israel financially at every level.
Democratic leadership knows this just as well as Republican, and it's not as if you have an alternative. Every vote is pro-Israel, whether you like it or not. It's a lot more pervasive than many realize.
I'm not advocating not voting, I still vote. But it's all pro-Israel. Seventy years of this, it's undeniable.
There it is, folks. There is just no appeasing Lemmy at this point. Might as well fire up the gas chambers again and march the jews back. Then maybe --big maybe-- we might start building some kind of political majority to defeat repubs and not just a slim majority in the house or senate. But i'm not holding my breath lol
Lemmy is more concerned with signaling to the world how virtuous they are rather than actually stopping a genocide. It's incredible that this is where the left has ended up
