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.

You’re shilling an article about someone who has a proven track record of being selfish, shallow, and as fake as they get. It’s hilarious that you think this is making some kind of point in your favor.
You aren’t even aware that this further illustrates your agenda here to everyone. Trust me when I say this, you’re doing yourself NO favors here.
But that’s not why you’re here, is it?
At this point Ozma has run out of goodwill. Just block and be done with it.
That’s cool, but choosing to do nothing is also a choice and you’ll see worse results under Trump, maybe even American forces helping out in the genocide, complete withdrawal of any Palestinian relief efforts, even more weapons provided without any conditions, and repression of groups here in the US. Saving the Palestinians would be great, but throwing out everything else for their sake when it won’t even make a difference just seems childish. If Trump gets power again, you won’t even have the freedom to worry about the Palestinians anymore, but you’ll still have to live with dead Palestinian children under rubble.
With Biden, there’s at least attempts at trying to reign in the Israelis. The US has less sway over the Israelis than what many probably think, as we can see with Israel’s/Netanyahu’s flippant attitude towards Biden’s urgings for restraint. Israel specifically started positioning itself to be less reliant on US influence since the 90s. We should still just stop sending them weapons altogether, but at least under Biden there an effort to stop it (as ineffectual as they are). Under Trump, the US will give increased enthusiastic support.
People like Ozma don’t seem to care about any of that. Their disingenuous agenda appears to have no other purpose than to smear Biden and nothing else. Many people have tried explaining how things work just as you have, and many even brought proof to support their argument.
This dude just shuts down and stops responding when he runs out of excuses to not vote. This is about as bad-faith as it gets. You’re better off just citing how it’s wrong than trying to get this person to listen to reason.
Cardi is a fraud. She’s trying to boost her brand. Nothing more.
I think the detailed explanations are still good for others who come in without knowing OP has a clear agenda.
Stay pressed. Maybe learn why people don't support genocide Joe
That's a tired claim as well. Ignored that after he blocked some support that the Republicans went out of their way to ensure that support is sent anyways? It's not on Biden. That said, I don't agree with the support.
Still sending...

You mean congress? Congress is the one who orders and pays for everything. Biden May sign off on it. But he's not sending it.
This has been explained to them time and time again. They have made it very clear that they’re not here to debate it.
It’s a misinformation campaign and not much else.
Yes though it always helps to point this out. So anyone else reading might not fall for the bs. Biden could veto or stop the aid if he wanted to. And Congress could and likely would just override him regardless. He's not really helping and he is part of the problem. But he isn't the main problem by a long stretch.
There’s nothing there to disagree with, but the propaganda team here isn’t concerned with nuance.
Your boy Trump is going to kill all the Gazans and bulldoze it to make way for Kushner’s condos. You’re completely lost
F Trump. I'm far left. Y'all centrists are closer to Trump than I.
Seems no one here believes you.
Even more lost then
lolmao. Far left and paving a highway for Trump. The gymnastix
Oh I know why… we all know why. You’re not nearly as clever as you think you are at hiding it.
lol. Because Trump would do so much better in that area
