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!

Schumer is a deer in the headlights at this point. If we’re being generous, he’s useless. If we’re being honest, he’s a fascist enabler. And fascist enablers are fascists with extra steps.
I’m going to say something controversial to some of us: It’s because Jewish people are the fascists this time around. Israel is a militarized police and tech surveillance state whose leader will be ousted if the war stops so he went on the offensive. Chuck is receiving money from AIPAC and doesn’t want the campaign cash to stop so he’s looking the other way while the fascists take over.
Trump's a goy. So's Vance. A lot of the white nationalist MAGAts would be happy to murder Jews if they got the chance.
Likud's influence on both Dems and Republicans is indeed pernicious, but it's money in politics and the peddling of foreign influence that are the underlying problems, not Jewish people.
Every Jewish person I know is opposed to aid for Israel, supporting their genocide and very vocally supportive of Gaza/palestine and very critical of Israel-the-country
It’s not that he’s Jewish. He’s just a prick.
There's a super reform synagogue in my town, their president is an out lesbian, they turned out for blm marches, host families traveling to get medical care for their sick kids, etc.
And they're generally super pro-Netanyahu, pro-NeoNaqba.
It's baffling to me that you can understand that there is rampant racist police violence in the US, and not in Gaza or Jenin.
As a Palestinian I keep feeling the need to bring up that we have no issues what-so-ever with Judaism or people of Jewish faith. But I hate Zionism to my core, and I strongly commend Jewish people against Israel. Please personally thank your Jewish friends for making a choice
I'll pass it along, but I can tell you they're going to be a bit confused and say "it's just the bare minimum," or "it's just the right thing to do."
(that was their response when I expressed my own gratitude and appreciation.)
Those are some good people. I hope one day the average politician is more like them
It's telling how people in the imperial core generally can't distinguish between judaism and zionism. That's how deeply ingrained the indoctrination and propaganda goes. The widespread conflation of judaism and zionism is a completely normalized form of anti-semitism.
And it is intentionally pushed by Israeli PACs.
Zionists are the fascists, not Jewish people.
Zionists to be specific. It’s not all Jewish people.
Elections need to be publicly funded. Money in politics is the source of America’s decline.
Schumer Pelosi and Warren need to retire or be voted out.
There's no time left for voting them out. We've already had our last free and fair election.
This is Hakeem Jeffries erasure.
See also: Durbin, Cuellar, Clyburn, Hoyer, the entire Blue Dog Coalition, King, Coons, Klobuchar, Tester, Rosen, Hassan, Peters, to just name a few of the feckless Dems (and one independent Senator who caucuses with Dems but often votes with the fascists) who still value "bipartisanship" over the wellbeing of the people they're pretending to represent.
What’d Warren do?
She's useless, all Dem leadership is
