But AI chats don't always have the right facts.

Well, I know that there are now a lot more lawyers, poll watchers, and citizens for this election than there were in 2020, and they have been really preparing to watch out for any possible cheating this time around. Otherwise, I don't know what really is going to happen.

So, is Israel actually going to take over all of Gaza and the entire West Bank and then do their own kind of nation building in those areas?

I wish candidates went back to setting out substantive agenda of their own by proposing new serious initiatives for dealing with current issues. That way many more winners of elections would win a real mandate for policy-making during their time in office. That used to be much more the case in the good old days of politics. But I gotta hand it to the Lincoln Project for an ad like that. -
The Biden administration should use it's newfound presidential power of "absolute immunity" to send as much personnel from the law enforcement and DOJ at the federal level to make sure that there is no cheating at any of the polling stations throughout the entire country. The administration should also use its new presidential power to arrest every right-wing grifter throughout the whole country and imprison them including the radical right-wing members of SCOTUS and Congress.

Game for what? I don’t see the point of doing it when you can instead just not judge others if you are doing the opposite of what you’re telling them to do.
-
Yeah, but why preach to others about it?
-
I've never totally understood why such people who cheat on their partners or engage in a sex binge then preach to others about sexuality and being chaste.
-
Oh, I see. So, he has always been a hegemonic mastermind, figuring out when to contain and when not to contain a part of the world for the long-term goal of the US taking over the whole world.

The problem with aristocracy was that it was primarily the rich and the political elites. Many of them actually weren't highly intelligent and were corrupted by status and wealth. I am saying what if you had the hard working intelligentsia who make a good living but aren't spoiled by wealth and power? You do have a point.

I really think now that most people in this country have no business voting in any elections. It should only be the most educated and the most culturally developed citizens of our country who should have the right to vote. What's wrong with that? If you're saying that leadership needs to reflect the public then why don't workers democratically elected the leaders of their companies? There is a good reason why that never happens. You know that. Even Osho said before that democracy is so flawed because it essentially means "rule by the retarded and for the retarded..." We need real meritocracy whereby you need to have credible qualifications to be elected as a member of Congress, to be elected a governor of a state, and especially to be elected vice president and president of the United States of America. Besides, most people don't really care that much about voting, especially these days. They want someone who can govern well, the government to have enough checks and balances, to not have corporate interests take over our government and the rest of the country, and to not have the wealthy elites become robber barons.

Yeah, but who nominated Trump for president in 2016 and 2024? The idiotic right-wing voters who are ignorant, racist, and xenophobic did. You even said before a number of times that too much democracy or too much populism causes complete and utter incompetent leadership.
-
The US has always been a flawed democracy or illiberal democracy. However, I am starting to believe that their has now been too much democracy. We should go back to having the major party presidential nominees in the United States chosen through a process dominated by party elites like what happened before the 1970s. That way the political elites could make sure that someone like Trump never gets nominated for president ever again. At the same time, we of course need to get rid of the electoral college because it no longer properly represents the will of the people. Without the electoral college neither Trump nor W. Bush never would've become president. Furthermore, I strongly believe that we need to revive the Fairness Doctrine in a revised, modern form, applicable to all media outlets in the US to promote balanced reporting in all media outlets in this day and age. Otherwise, I fear that our current media environment will truly destroy our democracy.

Too much sexual repression often backfires. I’ve heard some Mormons in Utah do orgies in secret.
-
Yeah, I am surprised that Mearsheimer argue for containing China, even though he has always been against the idea of NATO containing countries like Russia. Btw, Sachs did contribute to the devastation of Russia's economy in the 90s.
-
Mearsheimer recently said that he finds that hard to believe that will happen any time soon and that the US is likely to send in air and naval defenses for Israel.
-
Well, now it looks like Israel is going to invade southern Lebanon soon. Does this mean that Hezbollah Iran will now go to war to with Israel soon?
-
Well, their terrorist attack was absolutely unacceptable and what will this raise in global awareness to their injustice perceived accomplished in the end? Bin Laden's 9/11 attack didn't lead to greater compassion for Arabs in the end.
-
Ohhhh........I get it now. So, it wasn't just to start a war with Israel or simply to get revenge or power. However, Sinwar and his men are just power hungry like Bin Laden was. Btw, I understand that none of the arab nations or arab political parties in the Middle East really want to go to war with Israel and the US. But Israel wants to drag its allies, particularly the US into a war with Palestine, Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Iran.
-
I see. So, now the sentiment for the palestinians has lately been resurging across the Arab world. I wonder if wealthy Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar no longer have to feel tribalistic because of how wealthy and developed those countries have now gotten.
-
Damn. I didn't know that. So, have Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and UAE been against the Palestinians or have they just never really cared about them?
-
None of the other Arab nations like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, or UAE have been doing nearly enough to help save the Palestinians.
-
Well I still gotta hand it to you. That's an unusual amount of cumming.
-
Didn’t you say a while ago that you used to be able to orgasm like 10 to 20 times in a row?

Part of why Hillary lost is because of those reasons you mentioned. However, what's more important to understand is that Sanders caused a lot of young people, liberals, and disaffected moderates and independent throughout the country to not want to vote for her or just vote third party. A lot of them thought the Democratic party rigged the nomination process against Sanders and that the whole Democratic was in such disarray which was really not a good look. He caused such serious discontent with the governance of the Democratic party. Consequently, too many voters throughout the country thought that Obama, Hillary, and the entire Democratic party let the country down. Therefore, there were more people in those Rust Belt states she lost who decided that it was time to vote the Democrats out of the White House and elect Trump and the GOP in.
