Two recent cases suggest that the era of secular schools is coming to an end.

    If you voted for Harris you voted for genocide. People who abstained did not.

      Option A — do something: If you pull the lever, the trolley will run over people.

      Option B — do nothing: If you don’t pull the lever, it will still run them over, just more quickly because some of the passengers consider the victims a threat and anyway the conductor’s itinerary includes running over everyone else on the planet and barreling into the sea before the trolley runs out of steam.

      BUT as everyone is run over you can show them your hands, and they will marvel at how clean they are, and you will say “it’s because I had the courage to not touch the lever,” and your unwavering sense of justice will inspire them so they may die happy knowing they once spoke to such a hero…

      Obviously option B, doing nothing, is the most ethical solution, since clean hands should be one’s priority.

      Harris stated multiple times that she wanted a cease fire and a two state solution. Polar opposite of Trumps “sweep them out and take over.”

      Every month from becoming the nominee until the election: cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.

      You bit hard into the propaganda campaign for this.

      You had two choices, bad or worse.

      You chose neither and allowed worse to win.

      Get down off your high horse, this does not make you morally superior, it makes you an idiot.

        I do not care. Tell Democrats to stop doing genocide instead of telling people to vote for it.

          When you can’t buy anything in the stores you will definitely care.

          When you’re starving to death in your own house you won’t be thinking about genocide anymore.

          Stop burying your head in the sand.

          Basically what you just said is it’s bad that democrats do genocide but when republicans do it then it’s fine.

            Basically you said you do not care about genocide unless it happens to you.

              No but you’ve abundantly made it clear that you think by letting Trump into office that the genocide issue magically goes away. Your logic sucks.

                  I do care I am just not dumb enough to think that your mentality is the solution.

                  Basically, you voted for Trump thinking the genocide issue would be resolved. Instead of genocide being resolved, you STILL have genocide in addition to a wrecked economy.

                  Well done. 👍

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

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!
