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!

Protesters were outside the Harris residence for several hours, singing, chanting and holding signs, one of which read “Jews say ceasefire now. No genocide in our name.”

IfNotNow jointly organized a protest with Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) Wednesday where many demonstrators entered the Cannon House office building demanding a cease-fire.

The demonstration resulted in several arrests and a few people being charged for assaulting a police officer during processing, U.S. Capitol Police said.

The protest in Los Angeles and in Washington, D.C., both intended to call on the Biden administration to urge Israel to stop its attack on civilians in Gaza. The Biden administration has largely defended Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes on Gaza, after Hamas militants carried out a a surprise attack of Israeli civilians Oct. 7.

Across the country police increased security measures as fears spread. Police in New York and Los Angeles increased patrols, authorities in Washington, D.C., put up barriers around the U.S. Capitol and some schools closed last Friday when former Hamas leaders called for a “day of rage.”

Should t they have picked someone who can do anything, ever?

I can’t remember the last time I saw her. Maybe when she told refugees not to come here?

And how often do you intentionally look for news on the Vice President?

Or do you just expect everyone else to spoonfeed you everything?

Why Harris' house? Wouldn't outside of Biden's house make more sense? Really random.

To those questioning why outside Harris' house. Have you ever been in a protest? Because it's not like people have infinite resources, time and organization skills to plan and deploy hundreds of protesters in any place of the country.

It's probably just people close to LA that wants to show their discontent to someone high in power.

"You are brown, that's like Palestinian".

I have heard some people are pointing out skin color conflicts, when looking at Israel-Palestine.

Religion and politics may have more to it.

In the end, not sure if it helps discussion or does the opposite.

Hot topics always gets people riled up.
