Yes it does. Trump pissed off a lot of people, even some classic Republicans. 2018 showed it.

Those are his lapdog supporters. Most of the country is repulsed by him. I think beating him will be easy. Bernie or Pete will beat him. Trump can pander all he wants be he's not going to gain any new supporters. Minorities certainly won't fall for his bullshit pandering. The pandering is to give cover to the racists in his base, so they can feel comfortable in their minds about not looking like racists.

Trump. At least partially. He's not a violent Red, but still.

All the spiritual practices I talk about. If you're starved for sex, sure.

If you think people shame you for sex now, you haven't considered how it was like 100 years ago. We live in the most shameless and sexually open time in human history. Not sure what more you need. For a long time my most viewed video on YouTube was How To Make A Girl Squirt. And people mostly liked it.

Absolutely Marxism is important to study, but the trick is not to become ideological about it. Which means holding it loosely, not getting attached to it, not creating an identity out of it. The problem with people in those Reddits is that they make identities out of the ideologies they defend. That always becomes limiting and problematic. Marxism can be as toxic as capitalism when adopted as an ideology. Because the common structural problem is lack of self-consciousness. See my video: Content vs Structure. Marxists think they are superior on content grounds, while structurally it is still an ideology like capitalism.

Ugh... just seeing that title and thumbnail makes me want to vomit. No, most bros I know are pretty solid Orange. At least in urban parts of America. Red is pretty rare these days in developed parts of the world. The difference between Orange and Red is that Orange will posture about being macho and alpha and may start a drunken bar fight, while Red will stab you in the throat with a fork and strangle your dog. Joe Pesci from Casino, that's Red: Don't fuck with Red.

That's why you must be careful with your stereotypes and categories. For some people, the idea of a smart black man also does not compute. Which is the very source of racism. An overly simplistic mind is a dangerous and ugly thing. The devil you see in others is the devil inside your self.

Everything is relative. Pete is far more liberal and openminded than the average person in the country, and certainly the South. But is he as liberal as TYT hosts who love to bash him? No Pete is a moderately liberal guy which is decent for someone from the Mid West. He's not from San Francisco.

That's one way to look at it. But are you really sure that's the proper way to look at it? Where did you get this perspective? From TYT? And you just blindly accept it as unbiased? Calling him a racist is pretty silly. Racism is a complex and nuanced issue. There is personal racism and systemic racism, which is much more subtle. Someone can have no personally racists attitude and yet still be part of upholding a systemically racist institution for many complex reasons, chiefly, his own survival. He's not some open racist. You're saying it as though he's a KKK member. This is absurd. The accusation is that he inappropriately fired a black police chief due to political influence. But even this requires serious proof. There are many reasons why he could have fired him. Maybe you should listen to Pete's version of the story before jumping to conclusions. One can have biases and blindspots without being explicitly racist. In fact, most of us have such biases. If I put you into a position where you had to fire a black police chief to feed your family, you'd probably do it without blinking an eye. And you would never ever consider yourself a racist for doing so. Of course being gay does not automatically make one a champion for African American rights or justice. Mostly likely Pete just grew up in a white bubble where African American rights were not even a topic of conversation or concern. He would have to go out of his way to care about that. I grew up in such a white and affluent part of the US that I didn't even know racism was a thing until well after college. When you live in a great part of the country, you don't even know what injustice is. The notion that a cop would treat a black person different than a white person was impossible to even imagine where I grew up. It would be like worrying about people eating dogs.

@ElvisN Sounds like you got a serious innate tolerance to LSD. 125ug should be enough to start awakening. But people are different. If you are autistic or something, your brain chemistry is way different. 125ug for me is an epic trip into full God-mode. At 700ug I doubt I would even stay in my body or ever return to this Earth.

Nothing wrong with sex, but it is one of the lower joys of life. Most people's lives involve: sleep, eat, shit, work, fuck. There are higher ways to live. An awakening beats an orgasm every time. If you're pre-occupied with sex, you're stuck on living from chakra 2. Which is pretty low. At some point you'd be wise to outgrow that. Doesn't mean you have to stop having sex, but it just becomes less of a priority in your life. Of course lots of people judge sexual openness because they suppress their own sexuality. Also, peoples' sex drives differ. Some low, some high.

Good God. You got enough tit there to sink the Titanic.

You Bernie supporters are overlooking a very simple fact: election irregularities happen often in American politics. This is nothing new. Voting is a messy process. If you give them time, they will go back and double-check everything. But you're so impatient that you don't want to give them time. You automatically assume something nefarious and scream for instant results like children. Sure, you might wish everything worked flawlessly, but that's not how it's ever been. We live in reality. Iowa actually was more transparent than ever this year. And it's their effort to improve the system which ironically screwed it up. As if you've never tried to improve something in your life and it ended up coming out worse. People with honest intentions screw things up all the time. This whole incident is a textbook example of self-bias. And you still don't understand how deep the problem of self-bias goes. You are acting out your stage Green ideology, like unconscious monkeys. And then you wonder why politics is so dirty. You are making it dirty by flinging shit around. If you want a conscious society, first, start acting consciously. What you're doing here is not conscious politics. It's business as usual with a progressive ideology. This is a good example of what happens when Green goes too far in its desperation to defeat Orange and Blue.

Yes, people are that obtuse. You can see it because you are probably exceptionally conscious and developed. Most people are very closedminded and see the world in black/white, I'm-right/you're-wrong. Tucker Carlson is quite obtuse. His worldview does not account for relativity or multiple perspectives. Or course Cornel West is much more able to understand Tucker than Tucker is able to understand him. Cornel West is a world class intellect. Tucker Carlson is an ideological hack.

@Johnny5 I think it should still be as strong as without vinegar. 20% is not that big a difference.

The point of adding a few drops of vinegar is to help the freebase dissolve. It often refuses to dissolve into water.

This video is garbage. 96% of results are now in. Looks like it was a very tight race but Pete won. Deal with it. You owe Pete an apology. Pete's estimates were most accurate. This is the difference between being oriented towards truth vs survival.

So they didn't plan it, yet somehow, magically, the app failed to load for hundreds of precinct captains when it came time to report results? They thought they could just not report results for 2 days by blaming a fully functioning app? And get away with it? As if nobody would come forward and report that the app functioned perfectly? Your conspiracy theory is more of a joke than flatearth.

Here's a stage Blue/Orange Christian's politics vs a stage Green Christian's politics: Quite illuminating how they talk past one another.

It also dovetails nicely that he won Iowa precisely because he sunk so much money into campaigning there. Coupled with the fact that Biden barely met the 15% threshold so Biden's voters were forced to choose Pete. If Biden under-performed it makes sense that Pete over-performed. Biden voters are not going to Bernie by and large. You are interpreting things in accordance with your biases. There are far less nefarious explanations of what happened. If Pete actually had a victory, then Pete is hurting from the app malfunction the most because he badly needed a clear victory because he's not going to win New Hampshire or Nevada or South Carolina most likely. Pete's only real chance of beating Bernie was to get a clear victory in Iowa. Bernie didn't need a clear victory as badly as Pete because Bernie should get a clear victory in New Hampshire and elsewhere. And Bernie has endless support and donations. If you were a Pete supporter, you would be pissed. Assuming Pete won. Which looks likely right now. If you sunk all of your money into one election, as Pete did, you need a clear victory there. So Pete is hurt the most by the situation as long as he didn't do anything fraudulent to cause it. I'm willing to give Pete the benefit of the doubt that he is not a totally corrupt fraud. If it turns out he is, well, he should go to jail for election rigging. But bring solid proof. That's a serious criminal charge. That's like calling someone a child molester. You better have proof. You don't call people child molesters just to be on the safe side. That's a highly damaging accusation.

But not through a fraudulent vote counting system. There are laws against gross fraud like that. You can't just not count the votes of a black nominee because he's black, for example. That would never fly. If the DNC staged a fake app error in order to delay publishing the real results, that too would fall under fraud. It's clear that the app did not work as intended. Precinct captains had difficulty getting the app to download and work properly.

I agree politicians shouldn't have conflicts of interest. But even to say that Pete is financially invested is a stretch. Buying services from a technology company is not to be invested in it. Companies routinely provide services to various clients. I'm pretty sure deliberately creating an vote counting system which misreports votes in favor of one candidate would be illegal. If a campaign was caught doing that it would be a massive scandal, there would be legal charges, and the entire election would be nullified. There is no evidence for any of that. To suggest Pete paid $50,000 to buy the election via a corrupt app is absurd. You better have solid evidence when making such a claim instead of saying "Err on the side of caution." You are erring on the side of slander.

Enough bullshitting. Back to the contemplation salt mines.
