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!

He’s not wrong they should be declared a terrorist group.

They should at least have to register as a foreign lobby

They don’t do any terroristic activities.

They just bribe and coerce public employees into giving an immoral genocidal foreign government infinite money and protection from accountability and justice.

according to statesian law, funding terrorists is terroristic activity. on that basis i disagree with your judgment of:

They don’t do any terroristic activities.

otherwise, you seem to have a good grasp of the situation

We need more politicians involved in dismantling oppressive systems and seeking unity. He’s showing Dems the way a path forwards. What Democratic leadership is pushing hasn’t worked for a while, maybe try to learn.

Mamdani is 100% correct.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

Billionaires are the terrorists of the 21st century.

Jpost? OK guess I’ll just go with what the state says…

[–] Jessicat@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I didn’t even notice the source on my first read…. On second read I still think Mamdani is doing excellent work :)

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh I’m all for Mamdani, just would like to see links from better sources.

[–] Jessicat@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

100% I just find it funny in this instance and even from that perspective, he still comes out looking like a champion.

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I’m starting to really like this guy

Somewhere there's a mentally ill loner being groomed, given bullets with names scribbled on the casing, and a screed written in a bizarre Elizabethan style...

terrorists or demons would be a tad better, but monsters checks out. I like to bring in war criminals hiding from international justice too.

AIPAC will keep trying under different pacs now. But they are awful no matter what rebranding they use.
