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!

I agree. Fuck them. They primaried good people out of our government. They made our government worse for us, USA citizens.

Their predecessor, the American Zionist Council, was forced to register as a foreign agent after their obfuscated ties to the Israeli government were discovered, and they had to dissolve the organization as a result.

It is almost a certainty that AIPAC is an arm of Israeli intelligence just the same. I'm sure they got better with hiding it, and/or they don't need to hide it with our festering corruption.

AIPAC is basically a cult that targets jewish people to get supporters. Young people get indoctrinated and sent to Israel to fight in the holy war. Its a really sophisticated but actually quite transparent recruitment pipeline. They dont try to hide it much. Ask any jewish-american that somehow managed to get out or never gave in to the peer pressure that exists at campuses.

“History will not forgive us for this,”

Good thing at least one American in office recognizes the scale of wrong-side-of-history-ness going on in America right now. I wish he'd made more of a stink about it during Biden's term, but this is more of a failure of the American people than Bernie specifically.

That’s antisemitism!

The bi-partisan support for genocide abroad is a major reason why there's fascism in USA.
