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.

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.

You’d support Trump if he was a Democrat.
A lot of "leftists" will vote Republican when they inevitably pivot to be "anti-zionist" after Trump is gone. They're experts at building coalitions of hateful single issue voters and using dog whistles after all. You've already been primed to hate democrats, hate liberals generally, and hate jews.... oops sorry, "zionists".
Be honest, if JD Vance ran on a platform of "ending US support of the zionist regime" would you consider voting for him?
Stop insinuating being critical of Israel means being antisemitic. It's so easy to see through.
Genocide is wrong and it's good to be vocal about it and it's good to put pressure on our politicians to drop a genocidal warmongering apartheid state.
Of course you would defend Chuck out of all people. You probably got told to do so in a newsletter. It's so obvious what you are doing, you are far from subtle. You need another online training session tbh.
So I take that as a "yes" you will be voting for JD Vance (or whatever goon they put up) when they start spouting the "anti-zionist" rhetoric.
This place is filled with the same kind of people that put the "socialist" in National Socialist in the past. Maybe you should look up "night of the long knives" to find out what happened to the socialists that went down this path before. Spoilers: it didn't go well for them.
That would imply I would have voted for trump, since he was arguably running on not killing children in Gaza. Obviously, anyone with a semblance of intelligence could easily see he was lying. Instead, I did the opposite, even though kamala was unapologetically pro genocide.
Being against genocide isn't some beacon that makes me support the person no matter what they say. That's also why I don't support Hamas or Iran's regime. But it fucking helps.
Best case scenario would be to have both choices not entertain the idea, but that's a lot to ask in America. But some good can be done. Not being critical and not pushing back only helps Israel continue their bribing and blackmailing unimpeded. It's gross. Like, you are a blatant mouthpiece for a genocidal government.
Of course, the party that's against genocide is the one that will slip into genocide. Don't look at the ones currently committing a genocide, nothing to see there. They don't have anything in common with the Nazis, nothing at all.
