We get shitty choices because our political system allows for institutional bribery.

Our choices will forever be limited until bribery is removed for the system.

And they won’t apologize for their behavior, but will certainly bark back that you’re an elitist.

At their core, many are just bullies and it nicely appeals to the emotionally stunted desires of their base.

I recently watched a Nazi documentary on Netflix, and the parallels beyond concerning. If Trump is elected, you should expect Brown Shirt like violence.

For those who think my statement is alarmist, it takes time for fascist propaganda to build inertia, and we’re somewhere in the middle of the progression. If you’re paying attention, you can see and hear the rhetoric getting more violent. They are following a similar playbook to the Nazis by stimulating the rural communities with more and more nationalist rhetoric.

The wholly predictable outcome of poorly regulating capitalism.

“The market will create competition and the best products.” No. The market will seek the optimal method to make the most money, and if that optimal method includes killing people, that will be the method selected.

Start putting people in jail and taking businesses into receivership for bad behavior, and then the optional method for maximizing profit will also result in better products.

And they knew a long time ago it would be expensive and did it anyway.

“…avoid the core problem.”

This is America’s trueful motto.

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.

They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas’ attack.

Those are just premeditated accidental killings. It’s very different.

This story is about the University of Michigan. 😉

If we’re going to get the analogy correct, you’re right, Hamas would be the assholes that killed 1200 people at a festival, and then IDF/Israel killed 34,000+, 70% women and children, in response.

Seems like a balanced response from a country which you’d expect to desire the respect of other first world countries?

Oh wait. That’s not an analogy.

Let’s see what happens next? Spoiler! Israel annexes more Palestinian land for illegal settlements!

Now imagine if the IDF had shown up and murdered a bunch of people at the graduation ceremony.

What scale of asshole would that be?

It’s not binary, but I agree with your general sentiment.

However, the American citizen has been propagandized and groomed to be corporate bootlickers. To our own demise, we accept the gross negligence of both parties to create reasonable regulation to maintain the balance needed for capitalism to function fairly.

I’m thinking you don’t know the definition of “neoliberal.”

We should likely do as much of this as possible.

Seems this could accelerate the problem taking care of itself.

They’ll eventually say it was a mistake, and then immediately go back to doing their normal BS.

Welcome to the outcome of poorly regulated capitalism - corporate benefit outweighs societal benefit.

If you have the evidence against Biden, present it.

Here’s some for Trump:

On October 25, 2016, allegations were made by two men stating that Trump had attended and partaken in sex parties filled with underage minor females as young as 15 years old who were induced with promises of career advancement.[151] Illegal drugs were also alleged to have been provided to the minors.[152]

One man was identified as model and actor Andy Lucchesi, while the other was identified as a fashion photographer who spoke on condition of anonymity. Both men claim to have been acquaintances of Trump during that decade, which one described as his “Trump days”.[151]

Lucchesi, for his part, claimed that he saw Trump engage in sexual activity with the girls but did not witness him taking illicit drugs. In regards to the age of the girls, Lucchesi said he himself never specifically asked about their ages, only remarking of the attendees “a lot of girls, [aged] 14, look 24.”[153]

The content is good, so I support the content.

If all we ever do is hold purity contests over secondary and tertiary concerns, like the platform, we’ll never accomplish anything.
