Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

… is “genocide joe” in the room with you right now?

[–] MegaUltraChicken@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Conservatives really think they're clever with that one. Like I'm not a fan of the current policy whatsoever, but placing the blame for the situation in Gaza on Joe Biden is insane. These morons have to be trying to get trump reelected, which we both know means the atrocities in Gaza will only get worse.

Liberals denying genocide the same way that Trumpists deny the Holocaust. Really sad to see the amount of brainwashing Americans have accepted.

You are as much of a cultist as a Republican.

No one denied the tragedy of the situation. I simply pointed out repeating a stupid nickname demonstrates an ignorance of 70 years of foreign policy that has stretched across administrations of both parties.

Now you’re calling me names like cultist. Are you implying republicans don’t support Israel and haven’t waged wars to remake the region Pax Americana?

[–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -1 points 10 months ago

everyone is responsible for their own actions, including genocide Joe. and slave state Joe.

It's so sad that all you have is whataboutism isn't it? And the worst part is that Genocide Joe isn't even the lesser of evils anymore. He is now the worse evil.

Genocide Joe is the person able to stop this. Instead he removes all war crime restrictions on the weapons and protects israel with all his power. He is actively committing mass genocide.

A reminder that Genocide Joe has killed more than twice as many civilians than Putin in Ukraine already.

Not to mention the amount of children murdered by this barbaric Zio Nazi

Get outta here with this nonsense, knucklehead. This is just some ignorant stream-of-consciousness word salad. The US hasn't killed anyone in Ukraine or Gaza and you know it.

These astroturfing campaigns are so obvious these days...

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ukraine has the right to defend itself. Israel is a brutal Nazi occupation that needs to be defended against instead of supported.

Sad to see genocide denial in open air here. You are the only astroturfer in this room.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

You belittle the plight of Ukraine and Palestinians with your meaningless usage of words. You do more damage to their cause than anyone else by belittling and misusing terms like “genocide”.

Bottom line is your ranting and raving makes everyone worse off.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your denial of the Genocide being committed in Palestine is disgusting and Nazi tier propaganda.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

You are as much of a cultist as a Republican.

Do your benefactors know you're talking shit about them?
