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!

All the people who were screeching to abandon Harris because of Gaza seem awfully quiet now

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Gosh but I heard that all genocide is equal and Biden is literally the devil. Do you mean that having a meaningful impact on whether Palestinians live or die was worth swallowing my pride and voting for Harris? But isn't my ideal that no Palestinian should die more important than actually saving the lives of Palestinians?

/s I absolutely can't fucking stand people who were unable to realize that less harm would, in fact, be less harmful.

You say "unable to realize", I say "intentionally pushed a false narrative to increase voter apathy".

Especially since many of them refused to engage any discussion on how much worse Trump would be.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

It's a combination of both. Lots of useful idiots. Just see that thing AOC did to find out why people would split the vote with her and Trump.

People in this country are straight up dangerously stupid.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 31 points 1 week ago (9 children)

I have a feeling a lot of them were not American. The bot farms are quiet now because they got what they wanted.

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Too bad the actual fascist Americans who elected Trump are still with you. It's always someone else's fault not America's.

Well it's not like Biden/Harris actually tried for a ceasefire. There's really not much change other than the quiet part being said out loud.

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not much change yet… like I said in another thread, let’s just save this comment and revisit it in 2025, shall we?

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The escalations we're going to see over the coming months were going to happen with a Republican as President or Democrat. The past 13 months has shown Israel can get away with virtually whatever they want. They were never intending on stopping regardless of the outcome of the election.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Keep telling yourself that. It might help you sleep at night.

[–] shadowfax13@lemmy.ml 0 points 6 days ago

what helps you sleep for last one year ? like listening to rotten scums like this ?

the cronies at dnc were more than happy to loose trumps. they spent more effort smearing green party than listening to their base while licking superpac boots.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

What in the past 13 months that has happened makes you believe the Democrats were holding the Israelis back?

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah that cease fire Biden negotiated was way better!

Oh, wait.

[–] CityPop@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

Don’t try to pop their cope bubble.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Are they? I see the comments still full of them.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (17 children)

Nah, they're clamoring for Biden to hurry up and stop shipment of arms to Israel and get the ceasefire some before Trump gets into office. Too little to late guys, Israel won't care, won't do shit now that they know trump won.

[–] CityPop@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

We’ve been clamoring for it since Biden first bypassed congress to directly send them weapons and money after October.

Israel has never cared so far and gotten away with everything, so nothing has changed there.

I mean what's there to say? Yeah we know Trump fucking sucks what do you want them to do? There's barely anything to say when he hasn't done anything ywt.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He already said he's giving Israel a blank cheque. Not sure how that's "nothing"

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 0 points 1 week ago

Okay that's fair I didn't know that, but still the only thing that can be said about that is "Trump bad", which we all already know.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

It was all too predictable.

Donvict is in the pocket of the magaforbrainz that think Jews have to be in Israel to bring about the sick fantasy from their book club. Even if he doesn't actually believe in xtianity at all...

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anticolonialist turned into a puff of smoke immediately after the election.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they were just banned. This place has become somewhat of a lib echo chamber.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Or they were a Russian bot.
