So…
Members of the government are seizing private companies for themselves?
Isn’t that why we can’t have universal healthcare or free education?
Because the slippery slope would lead to the government seizing private property?
Why are we skipping the good parts?
Republicans are fine with it as long as religious leaders agree with them.
That’s why they love the smaller evangelical churches, there’s no higher authority and plenty of grifters who will always back them in return for “donations”.
They want to lead a religion, not be told what they’re doing isn’t religious.
No, it beat the economy.
I’ll try to find it
Edit:
According to the poll, 29% of that voter group said “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the “most important issue” for them in the election.
Gaza was followed by the economy (24%), medicare and society security (12%), immigration and border security (11%), healthcare (10%) and abortion policy (9%).
I saw a couple heavily down voted articles that said that was the largest issue and around 30% of people who voted Biden 2020 but didn’t vote 2024 gave that as their reason.
It’s fucking insane so many people immediately started denying that was the biggest issue
You think Elon and Zuck are better?
Anyone dumb enough to do that is lucky it’s just a shittt ad.
But if you put it out in a bar area on a weekend, you’re gonna get a lot of drunk 20 something’s scanning it.
It’s the same thing with every right wing tech shit.
They don’t have the infrastructure for it, and they blame it on a DDOS instead of admitting their infrastructure couldn’t handle it and they’re too cheap to upgrade
Israel does want the land. So does Palestine
What?!
Palestine wants the land inside Palestine’s borders?!
You’re right, that totally warrants a genocide y
/s
It’ll 100% be edited.
The question is can they edit in such a way that he looks competent.
It’s good that they’re putting the full transcript up, but these days there’s no reason not to put the full interview online. Like Daily Show does when they don’t have the airtime for the full interview
Also, what level of support matters?
Well, with the genocide in Gaza, Israel literally would have ran out of munitions and would have had to stop months ago…
If Biden hadnt kept giving them.
But Israel is in no way a “proxy” they should be, but Biden lets them drive the car all the way to Genocide town.
Bibi wants to genocide Palestine, and take their land.
He ain’t exactly subtle about it, members of his government keep saying it out loud even.
You’re obviously very opinionated about this, you’re just wrong…
About almost everything you said so far I’m honestly curious. Where are you getting your information to form these opinions?
Because if Iran and group take out Israel (as is their stated goal) the US ability to control Iran will be diminished and Iran can then become a bigger threat to the western world.
Even that.
If Iran attacks Israel, it’s going to be because Israel keeps attacking Hezbollah, and Iran is one of the country’s they have a defensive treaty with
Israel is the one starting shit in the Middle East
No. I’m saying not involving an ocean and being right next to Ukraine is a lot closer
What?
In both cases Russia and Israel are partly invading to get ocean access, but you’re coming out of nowhere with that…
Like, none of what you’re saying is making any sense.
Did you mean to reply to someone else?
I’m done arguing about distances on a map when it is much closer than we are.
Closer than we are to what?
You mean Israel is closer to Russia than America?
That’s not true either.
And you’re ignoring literally everything else I said
I mean, when talking about geopolitics, the “geo” part is fundamentally important…
It would have been nice if you apologized, but fine we’ll move on to the next sentence:
Meanwhile in Sudan, Ukraine, China, Myanmar, etc. there are millions more people being killed/impacted by genocidal governments and these don’t even make the list of anyone giving a shit when it comes to presidential choice.
In which of those is the US providing munitions to the attackers against international and domestic laws for them to carry out a genocide?
It’s on the same continent
Just about 50% further away than America is wide…
Like, did you think putting something in all caps meant sarcasm?
Usually people do it to show that they’re being literal.
Did you just not know and instead of admitting it you’re trying to say that you knew it was 3,700 miles away and intentionally said that was close?
Pissing them off may not be a good formula. Even if they are doing shitty things.
Genocide that we’re violating international law to supply munitions for is not “shitty things”
Pissing them off? By telling them to stop the current genocide or not to attack another foreign government at the same time that’s allied with multiple nuclear powers?
It’s not a black and white decision to stop helping when they have been receiving it for 50 plus years.
Well, that’s sunk cost fallacy… And over those 50 years almost every US president has had to threaten to cut off aid to prevent it from progressing to this. It wasn’t till Biden came into office after 50 years of saying he’ll always support Israel for them to take it this far. Biden isn’t going to stop, and neither is Israel
I’m just trying to get your pov, but I can’t follow it logically
Except Israel has been talking about starting another invasion against Hezbollah…
Who have a defensive treaty with Russia, Iran, and a couple others.
An ally that starts wars isn’t a good ally.
They’re not providing a strategic advantage, they’re dragging us into large scale multi-country war.
It would likely get tied up with Ukraine as well, and get us to a legit WW3.
Because Biden won’t cut weapons to Israel and has spent 50 years saying there’s no line that Israel could cross
Do you think Palestine is in Europe?
And why are you calling a genocide a war? Because the victims have been resisting?
Could’ve sworn you said you didn’t want a political debate?
Is this one of those things where you always have to reply?
And your link is just Biden v trump head to head?
What’s going on here?
Do you think it’s easier to convince 10s of millions of voter’s minds?
Or get Joe Biden to understand that polls show people don’t want him and that the best thing he can do to prevent trump is step aside.
Seriously.
The funniest part is when they pivot to Biden not being important because staff does everything…
Every argument for Biden being the candidate, comes down to Biden having zero power or importance as president. But also trump can do anything he wants if Biden loses.
Like, why the fuck are we plowing ahead with 34% approval rating incumbent if he literally brings nothing to the table? And if Biden as president is powerless, the only way Trump could be so dangerous is Biden chooses not to act.
The more people talk about Biden, the less sense he makes as a candidate to voters.
And getting more votes (in the right states) is what matters most short term. Biden isn’t up to it.
Which is why we need to run a candidate with a shot of beating trump…
It’s too important of an election to let Joe have one more go out of nostalgia.
It would be easiest for everyone if he stepped aside, but he’s not willing to.
Does it?
I always liked the idea that Starfleet is the “relief valve” for humanity. It takes the people desperate for adventure, who wouldn’t be complacent even in a post scarcity world, and fling them as far away from Earth as humanely possible so they don’t change the government.
Which, even if Earth is a Utopia, it shows that on a deep institutional level the one world government has no issues with manipulating their citizens and makes me question how much of Earth is really a post scarcity Utopia in the first place.
As many shows Trek has, they just don’t really touch on what life is like back on Earth except rich officers come from giant farms/plantations that still have a bunch of field hands… Which doesn’t really jive with the story we’re told.
Id love to see something about what Earth is really like for people.
Like, what the Expanse did where they go back to Earth and I think everyone had “enough” but that included a large group of homeless drug addicts that lived in squalor somehow.
