Socialism would be if the inhaler companies were democracies that were owned by everyone who worked there, rather than dictatorships owned by a CEO.

This isn’t socialism. It’s social democracy, and arguably simply social liberalism

Which part isn’t true?

Everything I said is true. But idk which part you’re objecting to

Their point is that libertarians in the rest of the world are closer to anarcho socialists than Ron Paul

Kind of like how liberal means center right laissez faire economics everywhere except the United States

I don’t think Stein is still the Green Party candidate, if that’s what you’re referencing

It’s abuse and a rule violation to call someone a sockpuppet without evidence

Bezos owns the Washington Post

Why?

Politicians lie more than any other profession, and they do it to shape public perception and achieve their political goals, not to express their deeply held personal beliefs.

There is no reason to think Biden is being truthful here, especially in the face of overwhelmingly evidence of Israel’s genocide. It’s his ineffective attempt to save face as he engages in genocide denial and serves as an accomplice to genocide

Biden has said it over and over again

I agree that he has said it. But why does that make it true?

Repetition of a statement does not create truth

Biden is not as bad as Trump

Agreed. Though there is the argument that neoliberalism leads to Trump/fascism. So a vote for Dems/Neoliberals/Biden is just prolonging the inevitable - which, even if true, is still worth prolonging

I might end up voting third party

Unless you live in a swing state, then you might as well - there’s really no reason for voters in California or Oklahoma, for instance, to vote blue/red. And 2000 and 2016 demonstrate that popular vote victories have extremely limited moral/political significance.

Biden believes, sincerely believes, that Israel is allowed to defend itself.

You have no reason to believe that because you do not know Biden, nor do you have the ability to see into his mind.

The power of AIPAC and the usefulness of having a middle eastern port to place our aircraft carriers in range of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Turkey is a more compelling reason than any argument regarding Biden on a personality level

So what?

Biden is arming and funding Israel and is protecting them from international agencies.

Which is far worse than verbal statements

Trump is a fascist. But he never committed a genocide. Biden has.

Which is so foolish, as it makes fascism in America significantly more likely to occur, to disastrous results

Why is that acceptable?

It implies that we are controlled by Israel. If true, shouldn’t we as Americans demand that our country extricate itself from such a relationship?

Trump would openly ENCOURAGE such genocide.

And what is Biden doing by continuing to supply arms and funds to Israel? And by threatening the ICC and ICJ?

The United States is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in the same way that you would be committing murder if you hired a hitman to kill someone

We are knowingly providing Israel with the funds and arms to commit genocide. Therefore, we are committing genocide. Therefore, Biden is committing genocide.

Trump is worse. But Biden is the worst president since Nixon, and possibly since the Native American Genocides successfully ended.

He is a monster. No matter how much student debt he forgives or how many roads he claims to build

genocide is nowhere near that.

Never again meant Never Again

The choice is fascism or neo liberalism

Why is that the choice in what is supposedly the most free country in history?

Those are your two choices. You do not have an alternative.

You think this is a persuasive statement?

If the choice is between genocide and more genocide then voters are right to denounce the United States as a whole

Biden, who is maintaining the same Israeli policy as every other President for the last 76 years

Why is he doing this?

Actually it’s Biden’s fault that he is behind Trump is all major general election polls.

Somehow he has alienated both the left and the center. What a political mastermind

Can’t wait to think more about this while we all watch Trump destroy Western democracy and loot the remnants of America. Good job Dems

I really don’t understand this site’s/reddit’s fear of alcohol. Moderate drinking is not a problem. And it does assist with socializing, which seems like it would be beneficial for most people on here.

The idea that people here are afraid of/resistant to drinking, yet will use cannabis and other materials seems very strange. Just go to the bar and meet some people - it’s fun and it won’t hurt you. Alcoholism is obviously an issue, but alcoholism isn’t caused by moderate drinking. Just don’t be an idiot and you don’t have anything to worry about
