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!

Fake behind-the-scenes maneuvering, supposed electoral necessity: all cover to avoid the unseemly fact that Biden simply supports genocide in Gaza because he thinks it’s justified.

Biden has literally no alibi for the UNSC vetoes or objecting to the ICC verdict and the merit of the ICJ case. No alibi for suppressing US aid agency evidence of deliberate starvation of civilians. Democrats have no alibi for passing legislation banning funding to UNRWA among other bills underwriting pretty apparent war crimes. They have zero alibis for striking down bills aimed at halting Israel's slaughter, domicide and settlements. The attitude in DC is that Israel needs to get it over with and make sure it is permanent. They view the West Bank and Gaza as unruly parts of a Jewish empire - Israel needs to pacify and integrate them on its own terms.

What is this site and why is the header 4 screen lengths down?

It's an non-hegemonic narrative trying to survive under capitalism.

(Spoiler: It won't survive.)

Why would anybody downvote this obvious truth? Ofc nobody has anything to say against it.
