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

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!

Eh... At least some candidates that have recently won their primaries have been progressive enough to disavow Israel. As a whole the party is still shitty, which I guess is just an accurate depiction of the general population. However, it would be hard to say they were worse than the alternative.
Would Kamala have stopped the genocide..... Prob not. But she also likely wouldn't have bombed a bunch of school children in Iran either.
Hot take: Kamala would have done a better job.
I know, I'm really spitting out some real controversial opinions right now.... Somehow that guys utter disregard for things like the invasion of Venezuela and Iran, and trumps attempt to starve cuba into submission, seems to kinda detract from the empathetic basis of his argument.
There's an ongoing genocide where thousand of kids were murdered already, both the red and blue parties supported and endorsed it. Would you advocate to vote for a "good" candidate running with the republican that claim to not support israel?
She fueled a genocide where thousand children got killed

Yes ..... And do you think that the few politicians who do not support Israeli genocide should also be blamed for it?
That's not the only criteria that is important to me.......? In this hypothetical if the candidate was actually a leftist who for some reason had to run as a Republican, then yes?
I'm not detracting from her complicity in a genocide, or trying to say she's a decent human being. I'm claiming that trump is even more complicit in the genocide and has needlessly killed thousands of people in a war with Iran that does not fit within Kamala's geopolitical ambitions.
I don't really know what point you are trying to get across here?
If you are part of a party that support it then the blame is on you too.
It didn't fit trump "no more wars" policy too, until he did it.
War has always fit red and blue geopolitical ambitions, always.
