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!

And the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home. So, I respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race in 2024.

She handled that well, but she’s gotta know that line is going to start to sound a bit stale by November, right?

She and Biden either have to deliver some kind of progress on Gazs by mid-October (which I don’t see happening — not with Biden in charge), or she’s got to up the rhetoric on Gaza a little before the election.

Or she has to at least show that her policies aren't identical to his. Because so far, she's accused anti-genocide protesters of being Trump supporters.

Yeah, I am honestly impressed how she shut down the pro-Palestine supporters. Don't get me wrong, I support Palestine, but people have a point that this single-issue agenda is short-sighted and will undo democracy-- not just in America but also across the world. Trump winning means Ukraine will get fewer support and Putin and other illiberal leaders will win.

I just hope though that Kamala is much more assertive against Netanyahu than Biden. I feel like behind the scenes, Biden kowtows to Bibi.

He certainly does publicly.

Hopefully everyone will be so happy about „saving democracy” nobody will notice that her signatures are going to authorize support for israel.
