Opinion: Harris’s agenda mirrors the Democratic Socialists of America
  • You're doing the broken record repeating thing again. Though I guess you did switch from "not supporting" to "not voting".

    Given your pattern of spinning things, though, I think people should take that with a grain of salt.

  • Its a lot easier looking at a beautiful person these days and not feeling a bit of jealousy knowing there is a decent chance they would vote for fascism.
  • For the record, the number of die hard MAGAs is smaller than that, it's just a subset of the gop. Then consider that a lot of MAGAs are duped into just thinking "oh, he jokes a lot, but he's a businessman so he'll do a good job!"

    So the number of actual outright fascists is going to be pretty small when we weed out the people that just fall for their promises and lies. We need to distinguish between a fascist and a fool.

  • Jill Stein Is Killing the Green Party
  • Popular policies like investing into green energy, capping prescription drug prices, appropriately regulating business, helping students with the price of college, raising taxes on the wealthy and helping first time homebuyers get a house?

  • I know it's your opinion that you don't support Trump, but statistically speaking you most likely do. If we consider how many Cruz supporters there are, vs how many Trump supporters wishing to syphon away dem votes, we find the group of Trump supporters is over 10x larger. Given how people can lie on the internet, it's best to go with the statistics over just trusting in your word.

  • They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.
  • That's cute, but the point is that despite Hilary's very broad appeal to the big dollar doners, she was beaten by Obama in 2008 due to his, at the time very novel, online small dollar fundraising campaign. She was again defeated in 2016, despite having far more money given to her campaign than Trump.

    So the idea that the big doners actually dictate election results does not match our recent historical realities at all.

  • A TV reporter was doing a live hurricane report when he rescued a woman from a submerged car
  • Kudos to the guy for doing the right thing, but lets be real here. What else was he going to do, just keep rolling?

    "The waters have risen to the roof of her car, and her screams seem to have stopped now. This indicates these are very dangerous floodwaters folks, and I'll say again that it is recommended that you never..."

    All that aside, still humansbeingbros.

  • America's youngest voters turn right
  • Don't forget Gamergate.

    I think the reason the left doesn't hit back as hard is because it feels sort of strange to do so. It's difficult to acknowledge at the emotional level that we're really back to just fighting for the most fundamental basics of liberty, equality and pursuit of happiness. Especially given how the right co-opted talking about freedom in general a number of years ago. Do we really need to rewind our level of discourse all the way back to the 18th century though?

    Well, if those are the principles that are under attack, perhaps we do.

  • America's youngest voters turn right
  • The bottom paragraph of the article states that they're just as likely to say health care is a right and governments should pay more to help lift people out of poverty. So, there's a disconnect between the identity and actual policy positions which I think is pretty key.

    By the way, I just noticed you went through and edited almost all of your old comments in this thread. How come? Like, you changed "ewww" to "yuck" a minute ago. What's that all about?

    edit: Reviewing a number of your other conversations, you do always get the last word, don't you? I'm going to theorize that by always getting the last word, it helps you emotionally feel like you win all of your little battles regardless of the actual rational outcome.

  • Okay, but "true intentions" makes it seem like something nefarious is happening instead of fairly typical internet silliness. Anyways, only other thing I can think of is that you actually are just doing the last word thing. Are you?

  • ... my true intentions? I'm not sure what's so bad about just doing something silly. Something has to worry you, I doubt you're just doing the "must have last word" thing. Aren't you like 55 or something?
