I think we all knew this was going to happen... Hamas attacked and killed innocent Jewish people....Israel is going to make a statement, that if you ever do that again, we'll go in and wipe you out...including Palestines who are caught in the middle...

That's cool, cause I'm not a Republican...and I didn't once say I was voting for Trump...but keep assuming and generalizing, that's what the Left does best!

Spoken like a true Democrat: "You're stupid, because you're not like me!"

And now you know why Trump won in 2016... because 60 million people were told they were stupid...

I'm registered independent, but I tend to vote more Republican because the Democrats have gone crazy. I live in an area of California where homelessness, crime, and drugs are rampant. Literally, in my line of work, we see theft, drugs, and crime every day, with little to no repercussions...it's the same people doing the same shit. And what do liberals and Democrats say every single FUCKING time? "It's not their fault!". Nothing gets done. As soon as someone is arrested, they're let out and right back at it. It's getting tiresome. I'm so burnt out, I work hard, 2 jobs, and these people break the law every day, and no one seems to care. Even the police have told me their hands are tied because in most cases, the DA will not do anything for "petty" stuff. Well, it's not petty to me, and many like me who work hard and just want to live in a safer environment. I, like many others in my area, blame our liberal/Democrat political leaders. I know the Republican Party is field with horrible shit, I get that, but at this point, I just want a normal life without worrying about a homeless drug addict trying to stab me. So, the only thing I can do is to stop voting for the people that are allowing this kind of stuff, which are MOSTLY Democrats.

There is nowhere else. Every single site is 99% Left/Democrat...that doesn't mean I don't get to express my opinions like the rest of you clones.

I'm half Mexican half white... growing up, the only racism I ever experienced was by other Mexicans at my schools because they were farm workers, poor, and saw me as a "half breed" wannabe. My parents didn't work in the fields, and we lived in a nice side of town (this was when California was bussing in kids from other areas into poorer areas...). My dad busted his ass, went to trade school and got a good job when we were kids, same with my mother. However, I was picked on for looking white and having a white mother. At my schools, all our teachers would talk about how wonderful Democrats were, while constantly bashing Republican leaders. My experience is much more different than what the democrats would have you believe.

Democrats are no better. I mean, I grew up being told I'm deprived because I'm a minority, and that I should vote Democrat because of this reason. I remember literally being told by a teacher in 5th grade that I HAVE to vote Democrat because I'm Mexican. Democrats have done an excellent job manipulating minorities into thinking that they can only vote one way....

I grew up in Southern California, in the 90's during peak gang culture. It wasn't about being "cool," it was literally about two entirely different types of cultures that hated each other. My Mexican family blamed a lot of crime and issues in their neighborhoods on blacks, and vice versa. I went to a school that had gang fights every day, blacks hated Mexicans and Mexicans hated blacks. That's why they even go their separate ways in prison. It wasn't about being cool, it was about survival. And that mentality is generational. My uncles fought with blacks on the streets of Southern California, and now, my cousins are doing the same. I also don't think it's the "system." It was literally stupid territory differences. It had nothing to with any kind of system, it was more about you stay where you're at and take care of your people, and we'll do the same...

Basically, BLM had the attitude of "if you're not with us, you're a racist." And that was just way too extreme. Many people, including Latinos, just didn't care, or didn't want to get involved. When BLM started looting and burning down things in their neighborhoods, they became more angry and didn't care even more. However, they were lumped together with everyone else as "racists" or "bigots" if they didn't want to march hand in hand with blacks.

I'm 2nd generation and I disagree. My family tends to vote Republican because of their strong Catholic beliefs. My grandparents are good people, they've lived here for almost their entire lives (came from Mexico when they were young) and have always voted Republican because they believe the Republicans do more to protect religion. They're not "uneducated" or "easily manipulated." They simply think that the Left wants to take away things they have always felt very strong about, which is family and religion.

"If you don't have liberal views and vote Democrat, you're stupid!" Sincerely, Liberals and Democrats.

Kind of like how the Left intentionally tries to say Republicans are fascists? Also, the Right doesn't have to say anything to convince Latinos that the Democrat Party isn't the party for them...you're assuming minorities and immigrants can't think for themselves....

I'm half Mexican. Our whole lives, we're told we MUST vote Democrat because we're "minorities." Growing up in Southern California, I remember, literally, being taught that we were NOT good enough to be Republicans. "Democrats are the poor people, Republicans are the rich people..." I remember my 6th grade teacher telling me this. As I got older and started thinking for myself, I realized that I can vote any way I want. It's the Democrats that told me I couldn't. I think more and more Latinos are starting to realize that they CAN vote Republican, and that they ARE good enough...many Latinos have very conservative views (due to Catholicism) yet, they were told they can't vote Republican...

Again, do they REALLY think this will help US policy? I mean, this country is doing shit behind the scenes to protect itself...the US is constantly under threat because so many other countries hate us... let's not be naive.

Do you REALLY think Israel leaders are saying "stop everything, there's some kid at Colombia University protesting!" It's ridiculous.....choose your battles. Boycott, protest, and scream about things that are not fair for YOU and how you want change in YOUR country... not for other people in other countries that your protesting will have ZERO effect on.

So, NPR doesn't lean Left?

Non-Liberal/democrat= Troll

I guess that's the way around here...just like Reddit.

No, I think protesting is good, I support protesting many things.: Housing crisis, student loans, I'm pro-choice, so I support protesting the right to abortion for women, protest all you want if it's going to help Americans...I just think it's ridiculous to protest something that can't benefit them in any way. Why aren't these kids protesting in masses all over campuses for lower housing? Better health insurance? Lower gas prices? This Israel/Palestine conflict is beyond a bunch of middle class kids holding up signs about religious conflicts in another part of the world.... it's much deeper.
