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.

Because if I wasn't clear the first time, it's bullshit.
Let's invoke a thought-experiment and play said hypothetical out:
Stops sending weapons.
Bibi conveniently ignores intelligence if another real or false flag October-7th like attack.
Democrats lose with certainty, accused of both being Antisemitic (by Russian, Israeli bots, AIPAC, etc.) and leaving poor Israel defenseless against evildoer terrorists.
Ah yes. Sound strategy.
Biden kept sending weapons after he lost the election. And the genocide had been going on long before the election. And it only cost the Democrats votes. You are making up so many bad excuses to avoid facing reality.
Between November 5th and now would have done exactly jack shit. Especially when that would be immediately reversed by Trump anyway. Besides, it's not as though the Democratic party ceases to exist. What makes you think Israel still wouldn't do that in order to justify even worse atrocities, then blame Democrats anyway? That's what's called a High Risk / Low Reward play.
But nah man, keep believing Trump will be better, or hell even "equally bad." If you genuinely care about Palestinians, then you're about to get a wake-up call. Moving the embassy to Jeruselum while telling Bibi to, "Finish the job." Well, mission accomplished I guess.
Though with anonymity and online astroturfing operations I cannot rule out the viable alternative.
Truly I cannot believe how after all this time and everything Trump and Bibi has done that people are still naive enough to believe they're acting in good faith and not entirely for political optics. Absolutely remarkable.
