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.
- 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.
- 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 think you think Jewish people are all pro-Israel which is ignorant at best. Bigotry at worst.
Again the data proved this. These were polls of voters in general, not pro-Palestinians. American Jews were absolutely represented by the polls.
Oh look another straw man. Like it's their only move.... No, I do not think that. I don't believe I've said anything to imply that I do.
But I do know how much money and power that lobby throws around, and I've seen it destroy political careers overnight. The ADL would have tanked Harris' campaign had she come out in support of Palestine prior to Election Day. Like I don't think you people understand just how complex the political calculus here is... And you can sit on your high horse and say, "people shouldn't be doing political calculus when genocide is ongoing," and that's certainly a solid point, but the reality is that they do and that they have to if they want to have a chance of winning.
In fact, a day or two before Election Day, she seemed to have signaled that she would be tougher on Israel, but it was too little, too late. I suspect she waited until the last moment so as to not give the Israel lobby enough time to kill her campaign.
I believe that Harris would have listened to Palestinian voices had she won (rather than putting them in camps)
This better explains your position than your previous comment. Thank you and I do apologize for any mischaracterization.
