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!

Amazing that this is the benchmark now

Finally, some good fucking truth.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Nah, that's different. It's a "war".

/s for those that didnt pick up on it.

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I think the genocide of Ukrainians is equally important, and posters here seem to ignore it.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 22 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

It is important but it's very different. Ukraine is viciously fighting back and it's fairly even at some points making it more closer to a war.

In Gaza its just straight up one sided slaughyer.

[–] tedd_deireadh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Exactly. Unfortunately, wars do happen frequently, so maybe that's why OP is seeing more Gaza genocide news in his feed.

Also, small anecdote, I see as many or more articles about Ukraine just browsing all.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine isn’t a war, Ukraine is defending themselves from a foreign aggressor.

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Is that not a form of war though?

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 2 points 33 minutes ago

It's like, most wars across history.

What do you want us to say about it?
