Most people are not affected by healthcare or income problems. But, I feel like if liberal regions could run wild that the success would be so evident that the backwards region would follow suit. That alone isn't reason enough to me to split it up though, I think geo-politically if the u.s. split up it could bring more global harmony. Pair a smaller national identity, with less international hostility, and 3 different cultural experiments.

Were you not citing Eisenhower as right-wing? Today the right wing supports Israel financially. Europe would've moved toward the Soviet union.

You cannot look at both sides the same way. The largest red bar on that chart was only 40%. You need to take it in context, conservative voters lie, they lie to themselves, they lie to polls, Democrat voters lie much less, to themselves and polls. Conservatives overblow their satisfaction, democrats are more negative in perspective about their politicians, just naturally, because they're more honest. Friday, September 5 2028 General Election: Vance vs. Newsom Poll Yahoo News Results Newsom 49Vance 41 Spread Newsom+8 All that's required is for whomever you believe is the better advocate, for them to speak up and get out there, they don't need Schumers blessing if that's what you think. Buttigieg is unelected and he's everywhere.

It's a unique dynamic and history. I seriously question if the U.S. should be broken up, it's possibly too big. A couple smaller nations could form tighter knit and I see no point except trade and global monopoly for staying as one, which in my opinion is actually a negative in the bigger scheme of things.

Eisenhower was actually the president that staged the first coup in Iran, for oil. Targeted and killed civillians in Cuba,... "have just one purpose ... and that is to build up a strong progressive Republican Party in this country. If the right wing wants a fight, they are going to get it ... before I end up, either this Republican Party will reflect progressivism or I won't be with them anymore."[161]"- Eisenhower How is Trump not a conservative?

Were 60s hippies orange? MLK? Lincoln, John Brown?

Interesting angle. Say U.S. took care of each other, say we allowed liberty and rights, say we stood for those things and our culture was liberal(including gun rights): would guns and violence still be the problem it is?

I don't think it's new, look at Bush in the middle east, Reagan in Iran: the 'morals' has always been a lie. Pence was asked to do something highly illegal and publicly, I think he was just looking out for himself. What's an example of their morals, ever? They run on fiscal responsibility but have added the most debt, they run on pro-life but vote to take food and Healthcare from needy kids to give corporations tax breaks.

Nothing-burger, will go nowhere. Absolutely impeachable act though, if you read the background of the DA getting fired for saying there's no grounds for prosecution.

$100, Conservatives come out with more war and retaliation rhetoric that feeds more of this. Stupid

So, why are you Solipsistic then? You believe your mind is all that exists?

What's your take on him not breaking 50% in polls? He's running against very unpopular competitors. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/nyc-mayoral-election-polls-2025.html

No, because 'mind' is just a concept. "Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist."

Have you tried different sub-cultures like volunteering, Buddhists, mindfulness, arts,.....? Poor people focused on materialism will be relatively toxic, but so will rich people vacationing in Italy.

He got enlightened and learned no one exists, but can't stop constantly telling everyone this. I think banned for trying to get people from here to go to his forum. There's a thread on his exit.

Carlson, Bannon, and even Trump are 'victims' of this as well, they have the platforms but they're perpetuating these lies for more than just money, they're scared as well. You see the political cartoons about the rich fat cat telling the white worker that the Mexican wants his cookie, but reality is not as diabolical, these bad actors are actually afraid of people of different ethnicities, afraid of boogeymen, afraid of other rich people even.

Every person in the military that dealt with this incident knew it was a balloon, immediately. Ya, like the Comey indictment or army going into Portland now. Hopefully the people that get scared by this stuff learn it's all just hype.

The recent one hit by a hellfire missile was a balloon, the video is wildly misleading because the drone is moving so fast and the balloon and drone are so high. just another distraction from Epstein-Trump files.

Yes they have. Trump re-tweeted a graphic of Biden hogtied and gagged. Kirk has been reposted in this thread calling for biden to get death penalty. CBS News GOP Fla. House Candidate Calls For Obama To Be Hanged Jan 21, 2014 — A Republican candidate for the Florida House of Representatives said Monday that President Barack Obama should be arrested and hanged. The New Republic GOP Candidate Who Called for Obama's Execution Proceeds to ... Mar 15, 2024 — Michele Morrow is running for office in North Carolina—and she sees nothing wrong with calling for the execution of Barack Obama.

There's no point to the keeping score "right is more violent" There's zero point to making this claim, republicans do not use facts or evidence. No one votes based on who is more violent or says "rest in piss", it's not a thing, it actually has the opposite effect that you think, denigrating Republicans can only HELP democrats, not people you have a personal relationship, but at large, it's the type of thing otherwise conservative voters respond to POSITIVELY. Democratic politicians should keep it clean though, not for politics though, for society. We absolutely need civil responses from intelligent people, but brash responses from others actually help us with with a large demographic, we need both.

And this bullet went through flesh without hitting a 'plate', hitting a plate would move the victim more rather than the bullet going straight through like with kennedy. Kirks cartridge is far left, jfk is far right

There's no scoreboard.... This is such a weird take, conservatives have called for Obama to be killed for 15 years, you're worried about offending them with one random guy saying "rest in piss". I wouldn't count anything against their side, it's not a game..... there's not teams..... this is such a Mickey mouse way of looking at things. Anyone that didn't vote against republicans in 2024, does not care about decorum, at all. EVERY democratic leader has come out against the shooting. There's no internet posts that "make the left look bad". That's nonsense, trying to act like the left is some holier than thou, makes us look bad and shoots us back in the face. You're 'complying in advance', Republicans are bad, bad, bad, they are not respectable.

Uh, no 11:20

Something that the video doesn't go over, it says 'build relationships, being non-judgmental,...' but that only works for people you have a relationship with, build a relationship with. But this could be misleading, this does not extend to strangers, mocking and belittling trolls is actually effective. Just as the video suggests, this is all centered around fear, but they can be scared out of it, they will always choose the apparent over-dog and never choose the under-dog 'side'. The reason they side with the right is the false impression of strength, that's it, being respectful and open to these cowards is not going to persuade them, they only respect what they fear; violence and shame/ being a minority.
