Since Citizen’s United and gutting the Voting Rights Act there has been a massive increase in money spent on U.S. political races and there have been thousands of closures of polling stations. We have a pretend democratic like system.

The voters in the U.S. who want government to leave them alone say they want this also want government to regulate aspects of healthcare they don’t like. They want government to regulate private businesses so that they can’t exclude their

They should be worried. Bad governance is bad. But people do want something to be done about ease with which children can access pornography online. A solution will eventually be imposed if the industry doesn't clean things up.

In 2008 these things could have been changed but Obama was too interested in bipartisanship.

I don’t think this is a compelling argument for keeping things as they currently stand.

We don’t have to do it the same way the Chinese do. We can implement it in a bad way or in a good way.

But they have done that and so a government mandated solution is warranted.

Can you give some examples of this “leave me alone” that they want to see enacted?

By waste I meant the consuming of goods and accompanying trash that comes with it.

I’m very liberal and very much opposed to authoritarianism. I don’t see the problem with forcing online content to be different than offline content. You gotta show ID or otherwise prove age to buy alcohol and pornography offline. Why no

From the perspective of wanting less waste and less pollution tariffs are a good thing.

Almost no one really wants government to leave them alone. Everyone looks to government after a disaster. People rely on government for policing and most people for providing their children education. People rely on government to ensure t

You should the entirety of what I’ve written. Russia has perfected the art of sowing division and faux outrage. We’ve done it to other countries so we deserve it in some sense. It’s possible that Russia is better at some things than the U

Changing number of representatives would require a constitutional amendment… You are wrong on this. You should look up Reapportionment Acts. The number of Representatives does matter in an electoral system and for other reasons. A Repre

But I'm sure you'll say "oh, those were just trumped up charges by the Republicans". Ok, then don't blame Trump voters when they think "oh, those were just trumped up charges by the Democrats". You’d be

Russia and China have been waging a cyber war against the U.S. for a long time now. Russian accounts on social media have been effective at sowing dissent, chaos, conspiracy theories, and false information. Tim Pool and others on Russia’s

The Clintons earned $120 million in 10 years after he was President. Hilary gave 30 minute speeches at Goldman Sachs for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Clearly these were payouts for repeal of Glass-Steagal and other policies. He was

It’s a white nationalist backlash. They cared not about the messenger; only the message. It’s also the product of Russian disinformation. Russia has perfected the art of sowing division and faux outrage. We’ve done it to other countries

I don’t believe you are correct. People who vote for a man as debased, self centered, sexually depraved, and criminally inclined as Trump are “wrong”. White men latched onto a horrible person as their savior. If that’s what they want the

I think they would have gone for updating the number of a Representatives. But they didn’t even try to do such things. Obama kept trying the make a deal with Republicans and acted like it was the 1970s. In the end he saw what his efforts

When Obama was President his first two years Democrats had clear majorities of both houses. But that fool was obsessed with “bipartisanship”. He acted as if the political norms of the 70s had not changed. Also, they haven’t even tried to

Obama is the only 2 term President to have gotten a majority of the vote both times since Ronald Reagan. Our system had been broken in a sense (depending on your perspective). We’ve had candidates get a plurality and some a majority of th

When Trump lost in 2020 his supporters accused Twitter, Facebook, etc. of censoring their voices. Laws were passed in Texas to combat this. Now the pendulum has swung the other way.

I believe you are wrong. Particularly in Europe and the less metropolitan an area is the less likely a foreigner will fit in.

Stories like this need to be understood. It’s tiring hearing people in the U.S. say things like, “If you don’t love America then move elsewhere.” Moving elsewhere is an option for only a few people. It’s also necessary for most people to

Yes, bots are doing at languages. In the U.S. it’s common for college level courses to have students use AI to generate papers. English is one of the most widely spoken languages. Your Instagram link doesn’t demonstrate anything. There i

The United States stands to lose a lot more by formally entering this conflict. I don’t believe this is correct. If Europe and the U.S. won’t defend Ukraine then what makes people think they’ll defend Taiwan? The U.S. is showing that it
