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.

I hadn't realized how big Scientology is getting, there's a center in my city.

The u.s. is at war again. Houthis targeting u.s. naval ships with missiles. https://www.aljazeera.com › news › liveblog › live-us-bombs... 18 hours ago · “Our forces targeted the Truman aircraft carrier with 18 ballistic and cruise missiles and a drone,” he said. The US

Watch those videos, he shouldn't be called a racist. He is dangerous to minorities, no more than the status quo in the u.s. though. He is a manipulator, I'm not here suggesting people follow him, he's backward, but he shouldn't be strawmanned. He is a good window into a lot of voters where you can see common ground and solutions between divisions.

I didn't say fascist, we're talking about nazi. And nazi is the only authoritarian regime you know of, the shortest authoritarian regime in history? MAGA are authoritarian. Quit lying to yourself.

He's not really racist, not kkk racist adjacent at all. If anything, old grandpa racist jokes racist and unconscious bigotry. this on elon was a year ago https://youtu.be/63h-LXxH0hk?si=FYROXBdE8_Otwh40 That's a cop-out on nazi, the term is used to imply savagery at the level of burning jews in ovens. He's a nationalist, you can't even call him an ultra nationalist.

Nazi usually refers to burning jews in ovens, are you suggesting there's a similarity to that with them? If so, I hope you guys are on drugs, otherwise, you're very brainwashed.

🤡

You're totally wrong. Trump supports working people, he's just a stupid republican. And they're not nazis, that's ridiculous.

I read her posts, i follow her. I try to listen to people I don't like, I don't like bannon. AOC has ZERO substance, she just bandwagons with zero understanding.

She doesn't listen to any opposing views, she just goes off the rails and calls the person racist for wanting less immigration or calls them a piece of shit for not wanting state ran healthcare or free bachelors degrees in bird-watching. The other views ARE legitimate and not inherently racist or piece of shittish. She's a defund the police hang every cop that hurts a black person, moron. She encourages violence and supports luigi killing the ceo. All she does is run around screaming on every issue that anyone takes, without ANY thought. Wanting trans women to play in men's divisions is not inherently transphobic, some of them are more man than woman like Lia Thomas. She's a petulant child like trump or Marjorie green. Bernie is civil, AOC is a piece of shit.
