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
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!

I've never said that Biden can order Netanyahu to stop. Israel is a sovereign nation headed by a genocidal madman. One we are not required to support in all his endeavors. Biden can stop selling him weapons. Biden's administration can stop running interference for him at the UN. And Biden did not need to falsely claim that there is no genocide occurring in Gaza.
The Democrats already tried to stop selling weapons to Israel, but that was shut down by the Republicans. Perhaps if you would keep yourself up-to-date you would understand the real problem is… Yet again, the Republicans.
That only passed the House. It has not passed the Senate, and Chuck Schumer says it's not going to the floor for a vote. Even if it passed the Senate, Biden himself would need to sign it. Biden's hands remain untied. Just how do you imagine legislation works?
Have you considered that you might be smugly incorrect about other things as well?
Lol
Concession accepted.
This was never about you changing your mind. You are going to think what you want to think and I am going to think what I want to think. But you sound very silly with your genocide Joe nonsense. What is the end goal? You just sound very angry, which is understandable. But perhaps that energy could be used to solve problems instead of just complaining about them.
I don't refer to him as genocide Joe. I do say that he should stop supporting genocide, because he should.
Ideally? That Biden should stop supporting genocide.
I am very angry. The man I voted for is supporting genocide, and that's not exactly what he ran on.
I live in Texas. Problems aren't tractable from this end of things.
I would suggest leaving Texas for your mental health.

Nah, I don’t feel clicking a YouTube link is going to be something I’ll enjoy.
Who will you be voting for this coming presidential election?
I'll be voting for Biden. Now ignore it forever and call me a trumpist like all centrists I encounter.
Nah, just wanted to hear you say Biden.
But, I’d probably vote 3rd party if we had ranked voting. Which is why neither the democrans nor the republicrats want it. They would never be elected again.
Well, at least you didn't immediately say I was lying about it.
