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!

Rather unfortunate for you that the folks complaining about dnc being 100% complicit and funding the genocide, have never ever claimed that Trump is the better choice.
Also I love the genocide in quotes, really says all you need to know
It’s not that the claim he’s a better choice, the claim that he’s not a worse choice.
So we should be happy that our best option is moderately less horrible than our worst option and pretend we're ok with that
🙄
For Palestinians he is slightly worse if not the same. So if that is the criteria for the choice, there is insignificant difference between them.
The difference might be to be killed in a few days (Trump) vs a few weeks to months (Harris).
Well at least you’re admitting he is the worse choice for Palestinians, so that’s a start.
He’s also far, far worse on every other issue I can think of, such as those directly impacting Americans.
Him being worse doesn't make Harris good, she is just not that bad.
For people voting on that basis might decide immediate death would be better than definite death after prolonged suffering. That makes him better.
Gaza is a foolish hill to die on and make a choice on. Nothing you do or choose is going to make a difference.
He is no different than all the despots and dictators America has exported. He is no different than the founding fathers.
What a mind numbingly stupid thing to say.
Yikes
US politics is a zero sum game
