> None of this is what people voted for, and is almost directly the opposite. That isn’t a new thing, of course, but this seems like a pretty huge turnaround from what the campaign was about. Citation needed. I think there is demonstrabl

Ya, No. MAGA is modern Nazism and Christian Nationalism, it was bread out of the Conservative and Republican party of the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, and has been fully embraced by and has enveloped by both. Rejecting hate, racism, indoctrinat

Iran can survive the war without regime change, they have infinite Ayatollahs, america just needs to chill out with the "bomb children and commit war crimes and being lead by the great satan and pedophiles" stuff.

You know who's really illegitimate, those pesky americaners. If they hadn't given a big and ILLEGAL, big bad in terms of international law, declaration to King George. Then the whole world wouldn't have spent the last 80 year

Uh huh, and if you are an Iranian Policeman are you more concerned that the funny orange man yelling on the tv/phone is going to get you, or the mob forming outside your window? They might see it in their personal self interest to stay

How many children have dead from the wholesale and unlawful destruction of USAID? How many children in Gaza have died from the unlawful genocide? The two countries bringing this attack have done as much or more evil than Iran, roughly as re

> they should launch a campaign to repeal it and see how it goes over You are conflating lack of true representation (what we have), with lack of support. It's very possible that the broad majority of the electorate would in fact ge

You are conflating issues. As a foregone conclusion the U.S. bombing the sovereign citizens of Iran is acceptable to you, only afterwards are you and other's justifying this by cherry picking recent events. If Iran hadn't just kil

I think this framing is bad, it's not that people don't think there are consequences it's that it's 50/50 on whether the consequences will be personally worse for them. There are few, maybe no upsides, to elections

Trump could liberate every repressed country in the world and it would not impact in the slightest the cold hard fact that neither I nor most the people I know will ever vote R again.

It's been shown time and time again that some people will eat up Israeli propaganda and completely ignore facts and abject reality.

The US mostly isn't interested in butchering it's own citizens, slavery is the approach we went with À la the U.S. prison system.

What does the Iranian say? If we're all about respecting documents, we should make sure we assess them all equally. The U.S. constitution has a lot to say about many of the things that are happening right now, but those are being happi

I don't know you, so maybe you're actually for real and speaking on good faith here but honestly this and your other responses in this thread read exactly like "...salary depends on not understanding"

I think this is maybe the most revealing thing about this saga, that seemingly the U.S. government has not been training their own frontier models.

Exactly right, which is why I will bring up that the same company that will own WBD (cnn) will also own in major part Tiktok, which is exactly where younger people get their news.

Ah, yes, only if you don't recognize the game actually ended a while ago. This is the consequences phase, the left isn't impacting outcomes anymore.

If you're a U.S. citizen, tax dollars from you and others will backstop any cancelled subscriptions, I guess good on you for not trying to pay them twice, though you get zero benefit with this approach.

Most offenders in the U.S. prison system that U.S. citizens tax dollars are paying for are not violent offenders, at least not until they've been in and out of the prison system at least once, then their chances of committing addition

There is no mechanism for citizens of the united states to recall a president or member of congress. They must wait 2, 4, and 6 years depending on who they'd like to replace. This contributes to the the current woes as as many members
