Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Thing is, I care about humanity, not just "the people of the country". Therefore, "supports Israel" is a dealbreaker.
Supporting the existence of Israel is supporting genocide. I will never vote for someone with such blood on their hands. If you would, especially to maintain your own comfort and privilege, then your soul is compromised.
But "supports Russia" is fine I suppose?
Lots of humanity in "child sex trafficker", "pedophile", "rapist", right?
Delusional. Stop pretending you care about humanity. You care about this one specific issue.
Wtf are you talking about Blue MAGA? Trump also supports Israel. I didn't vote for him.
Unless you want to play the "you voted for him by not voting for Holocaust Harris" game. Which means I also must have voted for Holocaust Harris by not voting for Trump. Infinite vote glitch!
Interesting. Harris gets a nickname but Trump doesn't. There's almost an undertone suggesting you think one side is worse. Let's face it - I understand it, you understand it, by not going out to vote, you are signalling that you are a-okay with the likelier candidate winning, that likelier candidate is Trump. You are complicit, and you're even worse than the MAGA freaks because you're desperate to create plausible deniability. "Oh I didn't vote for him!". That's great. You didn't vote against him. Donny is pro-Israel? Boy that makes it even better. You made a conscious decision that while the only issue you care about at all is equal between both candidates, one is a convicted felon rapist pedophile, and the other is not, and you said "well I'm not willing to choose between that too". Mask on the floor, facade ends. Your humanity extends only from Egypt to Israel and stops exactly there, I guess Trump is lucky Epstein Island wasn't on that stretch. But hey, okay, so we were talking about purity tests originally. This still is a purity test. Kamala didn't check a single box and she was suddenly as deplorable of Trump. That is the very definition of purity testing.
I don't understand this primitive obsession of tankies with Israel-Palestine. Is it because the anti-capitalist, progressive left has been hijacked by far left pundits like Hasan Piker?
Nope, both sides are equally evil. Terrible Trump? Idk sounds kinda lame. He, Biden, and Harris all belong in the meat grinder, but I'd settle for the Hague.
Didn't read the rest of whatever you said.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
