Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

Where are all those people who were trying to shit talk about him because he didn't say genocide enthusiastically enough in an interview once before. You can call terrorists terrorists and genocide genocide without any contradictions.
He draws ire from genocidal maniacs and racist jerks and weapons contractors. Everyone else is like yeah, that genocide is shit, gotta stop supporting that shit.
He draws ire for existing, so what the fuck ever.
The man who beats kittens daily is outraged that people accused him to be an animal abuser on the 3rd anniversary of the time a cat scratched him.
So good that credit line is there, or we wouldn't know what show that was from.

Alternate headline: On the 3rd anniversary of October 7 attacks, Mamdani commended as he accuses Israel of genocide and war crimes
Fuck everybody who is mad about mamdani statement
Accuses? Just look at Israeli social media, they post videos of the crimes.

Mamdani's statement draws ire from genocide supporters
Accusations? Those are documented facts buddy.
Well, he is right.
By "accuses" do they mean "points out true facts?"
Israel shot Israelis on Oct 7th.
Israel hasn't killed that many Hamas in retaliation but they have killed 1000x more Palestinians after October 7 and even long before then and there's plenty of video evidence to support his statement and a lot of it is self incriminating.
If you look at the age distribution of Palestinians that died since then, it is pretty similar to the demographic which is what you would get if you indiscriminately bombed a country.
It's called having a backbone. For all of the whining and bitching from people about how politicians are bought and have no backbone, observe what that actually looks like and kindly eat shit if you don't like it.
