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.

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!

I don't expect politicians to be 100% perfect to be an ally.
Yeah, I get the arguement for cutting backing on schumer. or the worse arms of the democratic party. Currently sanders is in easily the top 5% of congress on most issues
Due to fairly recent events, I no longer give a shit how Bernie feels about Gaza. I’m much more interested in his USA plans over the next 24-48 months.
you don't care what happans to those poor gazans?
Sure I care, but I don’t care if my country does. I don’t want them spending any time on anything that isn’t fixing ourselves first.
It's hard to help put out a dumpster fire while covered in gasoline.
Email entitled "moderation" (the email subject includes the quotes around the word) from Bernie Sanders, sent Sunday:
What is “radical” is that we are spending close to one trillion a year on the military, and many billions in weaponry for an extremist Netanyahu government in Israel that has waged a horrific, illegal and immoral war against the people of Gaza.
That email was a great read.
Sanders should've been our president.
The fuck is this trash?
Horseshit.
WhY dO yOu SuPpOrT GeNoCiDe?
He's always been garbage, he's the OG 'IM SPEAKING' while spending what little credibility he has remaining to carry water for the oligarchy he claims to rail against.
[in skelator voice] Ah hahaha suddenly no one is good enough! Now reject Genocide Bernie just as you did Joe!
Do it or it will be “genocide you” we post about! Muwahahha!
Why did you stand for America and genocide on Tuesday? We saw you! You went to work and ate dinner… genocide!!!!
[skelator runs away]
For anyone reading this thread, this is an example of how corporate interests tries to set us up against each other and why it is important not to fall for these tactics.
The OP clearly knows nothing about Sanders.
Sanders was born to a working-class Jewish family that lost many its members during the holocaust.
Sanders was also one of the very first prominent Jewish politicians that spoke against Israel and its treatment of Palestinians, years and years ago, when the Gaza conflict was not even hitting the news the way it is today.
Don't fall for this divisive bullshit all over again, because that's exactly how we ended up with Republicans and corporations destroying our institutions and setting back social progress.
We all care about Gaza, but we are also really busy fighting to try to regain control of our government.
Low credibility propaganda site per mediacheck.
Just a reminder mediabiasfactcheck is just a single guy's opinion based on his own personal feelings.
Thank, did not know that. The cherry picked Bernie quotes set me off though and I went looking, stopped there
