It's not socialism either. For us being the 'intellectual side', we really need to be less reckless with language.

We really need to stop using 'left and right'.

Republicans don't support fascism, only a minority do, they don't support tyranny, they don't support a third term, they support free elections, they barely support the republican party. Republicans just want to cut the debt, bring back industry, and quit giving handouts, a minority want project 2025. https://thehill.com Nearly half of Republicans want someone other than Trump in 2024 Jul 12, 2022 — Close to half of Republican primary voters want someone other than former President Trump to run in 2024, according to a new poll that www.kff.org KFF Health Tracking Poll March 2024: Abortion in the 2024 Election and ... Mar 7, 2024 — About four in ten Republican voters (43%) say they think abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

No, it's non-partisanship.

Russia allows any ukrainian to surrender, they can surrender any time. You'd think them being on the front line they know more than you or Russian propagandists as to what they face, or don't face.

Russia is the biggest country in the world and no other country has a buffer state.

When your adversary is punching themselves in the nuts, you don't need to respond to that. Just don't punch yourself in the nuts, and you'll win.

It was a genuine question. I like the god of the bible, i enjoy the Christian experience. BUT, what in the Christian story is requisite for realizing god?

Do you think that if someone made up a story about a God, different than the Bible, and your culture taught it, like a cult, I assume you think some cult leaders just make up stuff, do you think you could have realized this made up god the same way?

Why do you say it was through Christianity?

Really, do you think anyone has god realized through christianity? Who's the most spiritual Christian in history aside from Jesus, not that I consider Jesus a christian.

Afghanistan had huge buddhist effigies until 2001, wasn't too far.

Sorry, I was referring to the position you were playing devils advocate with.

Do you think Trump knows that it would be okay if we had open borders? Or, if we embraced Chinese manufacturing?

How can you say that, do you not think he believes in his loudest grievances?

@Nilsi by your absurd view, would Alex Jones be green with regards to how he uses media?

I think this was today. Could keel over any second.

He seems exhausted to me, if you haven't watched him in a while. He could die tomorrow too, I see that potentially happening to.

I think he will resign without resigning, the Republicans will take over decision making and he'll just be a rambling fool. I think that's why he likes having musk, he can defer to him.

Dementia appears as post modern. Trump learned this from Cohn

Post-modernism gives an opening for racism just being another worldview, or 'don't trust the science'.

That would trap candidates into parties though, and eliminate independents.

Do you think your choice in the democratic primary can win? You're reinforcing the two party system. I don't see a good argument in this day and age, there should be large grassroots campaigns for alternative candidates. Even in times of Trump, I would register with my most aligned party and help them campaign, and then if it looks like my candidate doesn't have a chance in the general I would vote Harris, to use the last election as example. First off, if Harris for example was not your choice for primary it should drive more people to your party, even if you vote harris in the general, because it's likely more people like you will be disatisfied with Democrats. You'll get more people in your third party running in the smaller races, which is how a party would be built, and again, registration numbers are very important here. Third parties are viable, people just don't do the work.

It's not right to vote in the democrats primary if you're not a Democrat. For multiple reasons, one self-harming one is that it causes the party you do identify mostly with to have to do more work. In most states If third parties get enough registered members they need less signatures to get candidates on the ballot.

The u.s. itself doesn't even makes it's own parts or upgrade their own equipment, it's private companies.
