and he also encouraged netanjahu to be more brutal, and one look at his donors' list and you're clear on his interest. so we're back to misinformation?
Kamala has done the same, no? They have actively armed Israel while using words like humane and humanitarian aid etc. It’s easy for us to say that they are voting against their self interest (which they are) while seeing their loved ones getting murdered or displaced. I understand why they’d abstain or vote the other side.

Some people can't vote for felons. Others can't vote for genocide.

The two party system is outdated. Unfortunately it’s what you have and I don’t think that’s not going away, at least in our lifetimes.
It is. But there's a weird thing in the U.S. with people who clutch desperately to binary simplicity in a multi-dimensional world of complexity.

In Portugal, there are entrepreneurs who launch political parties. It's not a bad idea. But I do think U.S. voters' heads would explode if they were forced to live in a non-binary world.

it was biden i guess, but she should have distanced herself from previous practices. voicing concerns on the gaza genocide is still doing nothing about it

then again, trump encouraged the genocide and asked netanjahu to postpone the ceasefire after the elections (just like he torpedoes the bipartisan border bill). but it wasn't all over the news. once again, misinformation and ignorance

I agree, I voted for Oliver Chase. Kamala didn’t appeal to me at all, and I didn’t want the democrat party to have my vote, even though I’m a registered democrat. They’re too corporate friendly and they lean too hard into identity politics. Neither of which I agree with.

I’m getting too pessimistic about politics the older I get. It’s literally a matter of who can buy more influence, politicians are basically middle managers screwing regular Americans out of all they can to benefit corporations.
I don't even care about corporations anymore, to be honest. We'll always have them, unless we decide to make it impossible for them to do business here, which in that case means they'll move elsewhere. Both parties allow the Federal Reserve to do whatever it wants, and that's how the big banks get to screw over regular Muricans. Trump said during his first campaign he wanted to audit the Fed, but now he's basically the Fed on steroids with rates at zero or even negative rates, another policy that will make inflation skyrocket again. Funny how all the inflation blame is put on the Dems when both parties basically follow the same policies.

Serious question - have you always voted Republican? What are your biggest concerns about the state of the country?

For all the dismissal of "mean tweets" being substantially irrelevant, I find it funny that people vote for someone because the other party called them a bad name.
It's the ultimate "Liberal Snowflake" move. Someone calls me a bad name, so I do everything that I can to prove they're right.

How to marriages like this last?
Probably because politics isn't really a big concern for them at the end of the day. They're really into their own lives and country club crap, so it's just a side show to get worked up about once every four years.

Unless he abdicates the throne to Barron midway through
Barron is checking all the necessary boxes until he is 36. Trump can be the dictator hopefully for at least that long.

women are 30% of congress, 30% of the senate, 10mil more women vote in federal elections than men

like i said, dem strategist level determination to learn nothing at all from this loss lol

I didn't even mention how she's stuck in the unfortunate position of being an incumbent to an administration that is party to an active genocide and seems to be creeping towards a war with Iran.

Not saying Newsom would do any better on foreign policy but at least if you run him he doesn't have that stain on him, he was not a part of the biden admin and it seems pretty clear this was not at all an election in which you wanted to be the incumbent.
Don’t even know why you waste your time trying to convince him

His post makes perfect sense.


Two things can be true at once.

US are not very likely to elect female for president.


And Kamala was a quite unpopular forced upon the masses centrist dem establishment choice. It's true she wouldn't survived a primary as main candidate.
Bet u Tulsi runs again - maybe as a VP pick. Not saying she will win but I’d have voted for her even if she was still a D. She saw that sinking ship and moved on to greener pastures thankfully

Yeah the only way that people with deep differences in opinion can live with each other is when the subject of that difference is of little importance to both of them.

Very few in western Europe are left compared to OG Italian standards. You had genuine full blown communists demographics all the way up to the 80s :D
if it wasn't for CIA or US interference we would've had a comunist party leading Italy. You know democracy right? :D you do what we want you to do else....

Btw this was the funeral of Comunist Italian Party Enrico Berlinguer. Over 1m of people attended


If people want it who are you to call it out?

As creepy is it was seeing people lust after Kylie Jenner when she was 17 and now Kai Trump, the whole Barron thing is almost creepier.

Over a year ago I called that Trump would win the election, pull the US out of NATO, and Putin would be warming up the tanks to pour into Poland and the Baltics again.

Prove me wrong.

Global security < Captain Autism's feelings
it's a bit more than his feelings though. if they can't freely spread propaganda on twitter then it becomes a useless toy for them

btw i've seen it all in hungary. if it really is what it looks like then very dark times ahead for both murica and europe. this reeks putin

We need the deep state to take care of these people, especially Musk. This is straight fascism.

so not as a presidential candidate, thanks for further proving my point

and you want kyle to stop trying to convince me about my impression that murica won't elect a female president anytime soon :lol3:
I’m not even talking to you nor trying to convince you have anything.
