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!

They're actual antisemites, not just people who don't like netanyahu's genocide, so nothing will be done.
Let’s “slam” them with a rebuttal, as headlines like to write.
Hello my fellow hebrews and she-brews, wake the fuck up, this admin could come after us at any moment.
Correction: He is going to go after you. I'm not trying to be callous, but that's the cold, hard truth; Jews never fare well when rightwing reactionaries are in power.
Yeah. His antisemitism campus bullshit is just the latest clear evidence that we are headed toward a dark future. It’s all of us, btw. Not just Jews.
Franco sort of was nicer.
I invite anyone to have a look at /r/conspiracy if there was ever any doubt about what lies below the thin veneer of civilization. The protocols and ehatever fuelled them never went away..
/r/conspiracy used to be such a fun community, until around 2015.
Then it nosedived hard. Full maga and tons of theories that have roots in antisemitism and racism, many of which have been debunked time and time again.
Really jumped the shark somewhere around pizzagate.
Part of me still thinks that Ron Paul's 2008 run and huge popularity on Reddit at the time was a trial run for leveraging social media platforms (especially those that leaned heavily left, like Reddit at the time) for attracting people who typically wouldn't vote Republican.
I'm a very left person, and was even then...but even I campaigned for Ron Paul, dismissed some of his writings as (what would later be called) "fake-news", and was able to look past his pro-life stance.
I don't know about that, I was on Reddit for a few years before 2015 and /r/conspiracy always came across a little crazy to me. The specific brand of crazy fluctuated a bit over the years, and they definitely got worse at hiding it over time, but even when I first joined it seemed like you didn't have to scratch the surface very deep to find some really weird and concerning shit.
I've always been a conspiracy theory enjoyer, never really bought into any of them (besides a few pretty mainstream ones, but who doesn't have a favorite Kennedy assassination theory?) So that was probably one of the first subreddits I checked out, I don't think I ever bothered commenting on anything there, everything there pretty much immediately gave me the sense that "oh no, these people are actually crazy and maybe even kind of dangerous"
You have to be really really really ignorant and/or been living on Sentinel Island for the past at least 12 years to not already know this.
Anyone who believed a word about Trump fighting against anti semitism was looking for a talking point to ride as an excuse to vote for him, and those people fucking suck.
Most of the people saying this just wanted the pretense to black bag and terrorize anyone who hurts Israel's feelings, antisemitism be damned. Arabs are semites, and nobody has a problem being genocidal towards them. It was always going to be like this. The question is: how long do people let this shit continue?
Everybody forgets the Nazis first plan was to toss all the undesirables into their own country, and that the European countries created Israel to get rid of their own Jewish populations after WW2.
The creation of Israel was antisemitic, and no one should be surprised when far right countries "friendly" with Israel announce that they're deporting their whole Jewish population to Israel.
It's a choice now, but those governments and Bibi would love for it not to be.

Hell, the Zionist militias that fought the Palestine civil war and then the Arab-Israeli war in 1947-1949 were Polish-trained and armed explicitly so Poland could toss their own Jewish population in Israel, and while Poland (and most of Eastern Europe) wasn't exactly far-right they shared similar views on Jews. This shit goes deep.
We don't forget. Hertzel said his greatest allies would be antisemites.
Well they're Nazis so that makes sense.
Have ties to antisemitic extremists, are antisemitic extremists, potato potahto
"I'm not saying you're a Nazi, I'm just saying that all the self proclaimed Nazis think you are."
You think the white house is civilized society?
Edit: not you specifically, I'm referring to trump's comments.
"argues that the administration is using antisemitism as a pretext"
Did anyone believe they were honestly trying to help anyone but themselves?
People with a brain ? No but the maga people did believe him
I mean, yeah. This is monday news. Today he will probably announce a pedophile as the new responsible for child safety and tomorrow a random blonde, ex fox news anchor as the new nuclear counseling expert. He's been saturating the media space for a decade now. I firmly believe there could be a video of him raping an entire class of first graders and his base would defend him. Good luck usa.
No, but it’s anyone that doesn’t think 2 million people should be killed in Gaza who are antisemitic.
Well yes, that is true because they have ties to themselves
