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!

Speaking about this as if they are over and not something ongoing says a lot. I'm leaning towards this just being a lie.
I have never seen a pro-Palestinian protest with that message. That just sounds like you projecting your armchair liberal takes onto other people.
The people who organize pro-Palestinian protests are socialists and allied Palestinian groups, occasionally JVP. And while JVP is milquetoast and weak, even they aren't that mealy-mouthed.
I wonder what slur you used while calling yourseld a good person.
It id also telling that this is the only part of my comment that you replied to.
What slur? Now you really have loss me. People in my community were realistic about what we could get done on 11/5. We didn't call anyone a slur, we're not Republicans. Naive? Foolish? Maybe, but what slur? I'm not calling myself a "Good" person, but I'm am calling myself a politically involved and empathetic beyond what is comfortable for me. I'm sure you also feel like you're a good person, and maybe you are, I only know you from this interaction. But I'm at peace with what I did on 11/5 because I didn't stop working.
I'm fine being down voted knowing that I did and will continue to do what I can. Just like I'm sure you're fine feeling that you did and/or are doing the same.
I'm sorry, I'm just so angry that we are in this position, and that it's even worse. It's very, very frustrating (though I'm sure it's the same for you).
Still not sure why you think we'd be walking around calling people slurs though 👀
Edit: Whoops, their account is gone I think? Sorry. I swear I didn't report. 🙏🏾
But you clearly used a slur that was removed
Ah! It was the word "b*tch." I thought he was saying a racial slur. Didn't even notice 😂
