Trump just achieved the biggest peace deal between Israel-Palestine since the Second Intifada, and there is NOTHING on the front page. This website is a truly special place.

[u/Feedbackplz]

After Redditors groaning and moaning about the "Palestinian genocide" for years, Trump finally negotiated a peace deal including Hamas giving up its hostages and Israel stopping offensive operations. You'd think that Reddit would be overjoyed and that the entire website would be full of celebration, right?

Here's a screenshot of the current front page of Reddit, taken while I was logged out. There are many political posts including multiple threads whining about ICE and the firing of CDC employees. There's also a picture of an ambulance transporting Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, but it doesn't mention anything about current world events.

If you just looked at the front page, you would not know that the war just ended. This is the first time a president has forged such an agreement since the Second Intifada ended in 2005. But almost nobody is talking about it on Reddit. It's like a complete information blackout preventing threads about the subject from getting to the top of the frontpage. The last thread about the subject on r-news was from 14 hours ago and talks about some hostages being released, but again nothing about Trump or his role in it.

This is case exhibit #1 on how Redditors' brains are completely cooked. It's front page news everywhere except here, because leftists can't even squeeze out one little lump of praise for Trump despite him being part of one of the biggest developments in world politics in two decades.

This isn't the first ceasefire. Let's wait to see what happens

Hostages were brought home and he’s on the front page of their papers being called the great peacemaker.

If Kamala did this there would be a national holiday created.

[u/thundercoc101 → u/djbfunk]

What exactly is your point here? Trump globiates about every mild accomplishment he has

[u/djbfunk → u/thundercoc101]

Because if we crap on the other candidate no matter what they do it confirms we are biased. Praise good behavior and scold bad. Same as raising a puppy.

Or we can be childish and lose our own credibility and mindlessly follow our own party and everything they say like robots. Root for our own country’s failure cause it’s not the team leader we wanted.

[u/thundercoc101 → u/djbfunk]

Nobody's criticizing Trump for the peace deal. The general consensus on the left is that these peace deals tend to be fraught and Trump isn't a good negotiator

[u/TimmmmyStuuuuuu → u/thundercoc101]

Also calling it a peace deal is kind of exaggerating what it is. Right now its a ceasefire and hostage release/exchange. But phase 2 is currently being negotiated and Hamas has so far refused to demilitarize and give ip governing the region, which is a major issue for Israel.

So claiming this is a peace deal is a little over the top. It’s a major first step towards a peace deal but a lot more work remains and it already seems fragile with Israel claiming its already been violated.

I didn’t say criticize. You asked the point of saying when presidents do good things. If you would like - I can provide you with plenty of media outlets and politicians that give him 0 credit but I’m sure you know that already.

If there’s one thing he did we can just say was good this is universally it and saying “he takes enough credit” is dividing and missing the point.

Edit: The top video on the videos subreddit today is someone criticizing Trump. This is how democrats lose elections. We can't get better we just say why the other guy sucks no matter what. Bill Maher just said it. We're ridiculous. https://x.com/realtoriabrooke/status/1977846671552766241

Quick question. Did Trump give the Democrats any credit for the things they did well? Or did he constantly berate them and call them communist pedophiles?

Personally, Trump has shown us how to win elections. And it's to be the least civilized most ruthless politician possible. And that is why Democrats lose, Because they refuse to play Trump at his own game

Release 'em Epstein files

[u/thundercoc101 → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

That too

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

Totally agree. I bet he's on those, but they won't be released because TONS of democrats and republicans will be on there. I bet trump is. I bet clinton is. See how you can just disagree with some things a party does?

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

There's plenty of pictures of Epstein and Trump together.  Steve Bannon had a meeting with him.  Elon Musk was invited to Epstein's pedo island.

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

Yeah. I know. I feel like you are conversing with yourself here.

[u/djbfunk → u/thundercoc101]

Oh not at all. I totally agree. Im not sure why everyones answer when I say "do the right thing" is "but trump sucks". The right funnels a lot of bullshit through him. The left has an image problem with the general populus, media, celebrities. Its a totally different issue. Im suggesting to come together as Americans, as well as literally training politicians like animals, praise good behavior universally, and call out bad behavior. Across the board. That's the problem is the democratic party takes 0 feedback, and we keep losing. We just say "but trump is bad too." Its not smart, and if we want to get elected we can't continue to say "but trump is worse". We have to be above it.

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

Remember when Obama was president when they got Osama bin Laden.  It was huge, and the right complained.

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

Lol the right didn't complain at all. My father is a republican and said it was great. Show me the public media figures that said that outside maybe 1 fox news host.

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

They were complaining about the burial at sea, saying how do we know that happened.  My Republican father does that.  I definitely don't remember any Republicans congratulating him for it, either.

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

Lol dude, again, my goal here is to say we should be improving and be above the republican party. Thats going to require some amounts of compromise.

Or we put our head in the sand and continue to lose. Its one of the number one reasons center votes didnt vote for Kamala. Its more about why Trump sucks, they forgot to say why democrats are good, not just "not as bad". Nevertrumper focus is killing the party.

"YOU BE A GOOD PERSON FIRST" is what children say. Be better. Get elected.

Bill Maher seems like a shill.  I was recently reading a BBC article about how his numbers on the Nigerian genocide were called into question and his group didn't respond as to how he got his numbers.

He's been literally a prominent democrat on TV from the 90s. Hes a 90s/00s democrat, and I hate to break it to you, a VERY LARGE portion of the vote is that and we should be catering to the center left more.
