We’ve already seen from cameras on the ground this is not true though. Why keep pushing this?

Yeah, and I’m in Chicago, and that is NOWHERE near the DNC, bud. Obvious giveaway is the trees. Fuck off with this shit.

He’s living proof the Palestine protests are inorganic manipulation directed at Democrats specifically to hurt them in the election

Keep the protests going. Harris herself said she has to earn support, so it is on her.

Stay safe. Police are out in force and they’re not pulling punches.

Efforts inside the convention to get a pro-Palestinian speaker on behalf of the Uncommitted Delegation appear to have been thoroughly quashed by DNC staffers. And it looks like efforts to organize outside of the convention are also being harassed and censored.

People are worried because of the upcoming election. We should still hold our politicians accountable, regardless. I agree.

Noooo you can’t criticize my candidate it will make it harder for her to win like how people criticized Biden which made him quit and… checks notes completely turn around the election?

Huh, it’s almost as if people are literally begging to vote for someone they want to vote for

I think we can both agree this is a very complicated/politically nuanced situation

No, I don’t agree with that. People have been gaslit (sorry) into thinking it’s a complicated situation with no fixes when reality is very cut and dry: Colonialist forces invaded, created an ethnostate, forced the population into an open prison and are proceeding to commit genocide with full support of the freedom loving international community.

There are people who think this is inhumane and they’re right to make their voices heard. It’s the candidate’s job to compromise with their electorate, not the other way around.

There wouldn’t be any Palestinian terrorism if Israel would stop oppressing the Palestinians.

as they should be. These people are simply attempting to hurt the democratic ticket. Where were they at the RNC? The fact they werent there is proof they believe the only party that’d listen is the Democrats, and if they believed that, they’d want the Democrats to win. But they don’t. So they’re, at the very least, anti-democratic. And should be ignored. Especially during the fucking DNC. Idiots

Where were they at the RNC?

How many Palestinian-Americans are registered Republican?

It appears that these protests are being championed from within the respective parties, with a large cohort of “Uncommitted” liberal voters out of the Midwest leading the charge.

Politics has become a team sport. They only care about themselves and if their team “wins”.

I understand I’ll get downvoted for this but Harris said herself, as did Biden this week at the DNC that the protesters have a point, and that Harris wants a 2-state solution, ceasefire, hostages returned. Donald Trump wants Bibi to hold off and kill the ceasefire, to “finish the job”.

Harris is the best route to ensuring that Palestine continues to receive US based aid as well as support for the end of the war.

It is NEVER about getting EVERYTHING or NOTHING. If you set yourself on all or nothing, you will almost always end up with nothing.

I’m voting Harris because I believe she is the best chance Palestine has right now.

And many of these Palestine protester groups are on a team of their own, they are looking for an ‘all or nothing solution’ and anything else is against the team so burn it all down (many interviewed talk of destroying the whole system). Interesting how it’s okay when it supports your interest, huh?

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.

  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!
