A 20% tariff on imported goods?
More tax breaks for the rich?
Come on man. Harris is against those.
So being for a tax break for the rich is wrong. And being against a tax break for the rich is wrong? What other option even is there?

I hate to over use the word but come on, they’re just so weird.
If I’m being honest, I don’t really feel like going back and forth anymore, it’s pointless. You’re free to think I’m wrong, I think you came across poorly and are wrong too.
Neither one of us are going to change our minds and we’ve decended into responses with cut quotes and countless questions. Things like “I didn’t call them a drone I said they’d act like one.” It’s silly. There’s really no point in either one of us going back and forth, to do what? Are you really open to the idea that the war in the Ukraine is important, it doesn’t seem like it, and me spending time writing up response after response just wastes my time writing it and your time reading it.
I hope you’re well man.
You’ve been trying? Your initial rant seemed very targeted at people and insulting, with plenty of name calling.
You’ve been disrespecting people from the jump, saying only like 4 people will be able to understand you. You reject the idea that you might be wrong and that other people might have a point. You simply dismiss and attack people who disagree with you. You’ve had chances to prove your point and didn’t, at all, you just attacked people.
Also saying you don’t care what’s happens in Ukraine is just heartless on a human level. If you don’t care if a country gets invaded and their people raped and murdered, well it seems like you don’t have any morals. You can say we should support them with money or weapons, I disagree but I can understand that stance. Saying you don’t care if they win it’s some cold shit.
But regardless, when you enter the conversation saying people won’t be able you because they don’t get it and attacking groups of people, you don’t really have a lot of room to complain about people being disrespectful. You called people who might disagree with you “parrots” and “drones” and here you are talking about disrespect? Then you edited it and called people fragile, just doubling down on the insults. For a guy so upset that people are attacking him for a different opinion, you are did come out of the gate attacking anyone who might disagree with you. Get the fuck out of here with this victim bs.
And he had all that before he got all this bad news about his only chance to avoid accountability.
Trying to take the high road after being a pretty awful jerk to people is a bold move. Either way, it’s not an attack, it’s the reality of whatever that was.
I’m all about opposing opinions they just need to have, ya know, a single coherent thought in them. Just because I don’t want to here some cry/rambling nonsense doesn’t make me close minded, it shows in value my time lol.
This isn’t an opinion it’s word vomit lol
Ok bud, you really showed me.
I wonder if there can be more than one important issue effecting our future at a time…
Sounds like a guy who thinks you need a license to buy a loaf of bread.
You… I don’t even know where to begin. You don’t understand how inflation works or how things on the other side of the world can impact us due to a global economy. You should care if Ukraine wins, because burying our head in the sand and carrying about only the US means we’re left to feel the impact of global events were not engaging in.
“But the people on television!”
Ok Grandpa, let’s get to bed.
One side has stats that have down that Roe V Wade massively reduced crime as less children were born into the system or unwanted. The burden of an unwanted child can ruin both the parents and childs life. We’ve seen how abortion bans can lead to doctors being scared to do anything in some situations causing the mother to die.
The other side is people saying a fetus has a soul because an old book told them so.
It’s pretty clear which side should be backed. Not saying either side is perfect, but one side has a lot more supporting evidence than the other.
Let’s not forget, the pro choice side is just that, you have a choice. No one is forcing anything, the other side is. Again, the choice is clear to me.
The example of pushing a woman down the stairs is silly. The reason why it’s worse if she’s pregnant is because you took away her choice and opportunity to have that baby, after she is dealing with all that comes with being pregnant. That is not the same as a person who is a month in and doesn’t want it, by her choice.
I’m sure they do. But the thing is science at stats don’t back their stance.
There is no room for a discussion. It’s like one side saying “kill everyone” and the other side is saying “let’s not kill people” then people are like “well, let’s compromise and kill just some people, it’s only fair.” No, I’m done. Democrats have been way too tame and compromising for too long, I’m done entertaining this BS.
Oh agree, huge waste. But if it’s all that they have in guessing they don’t care.
Surely you can see tha difference between “conflict,” which implies roughly equal power and moral responsibility
It does not imply that at all, that’s a massive assumption on your end that you use as a point to press. Throughout history the term conflict has be used to talk about many wars/battles and not all of them were equal, at all.
I’m saying I’m a conflict there can be genocide. But if anything genocide doesn’t even capture the full scale of what’s happening beyond the pointless killings. Conflict is a much broader scope, including things like economic impact, infrastructure damage to the county, etc. It’s not one or three other. I agree genocide is bad and this conflict is bad and you’re arguing with me about how I’m not saying it’s bad enough because I used a word you don’t fully understand. What are you even doing?
You need to educate yourself on the terms being used and stop making assumptions then using those assumptions to label people. You’re mindset, while focused on something different, is bordering on MAGA.
If America isn’t a democracy why would you vote? Please tell me how that’s mental gymnastics. What’s mental gymnastics is declaring democracy doesn’t exist because you don’t like the candidates.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.
Got it, you think democracy doesn’t exist but every citizen has the same power as the president. Lol, from a guy who uses the term mental gymnastics all the time, now I know how you became so familiar with the term.
Here’s an exercise: why do you think fascism is rising in America? Is it ideas, or material conditions?
Because late stage capitalism is strangling the working class. So pro fascist leaders are using that to come into power. Just like every other before then, you blame all the problems on anyone standing in the way of your power and you tell people that you’re the only one who can fix it. Which is exactly, literally, what Trump has done over and over.
Now how about this exercise. Tell me what democracy is, by definition, and how the US does not fit that definition.
I’m not down playing anything, it’s you assuming and wanting to be extreme. Why don’t you call it the murder of innocent children, are you trying to play it down by using a single word?
Jesus, it’s not even about the issues with people like you, it’s just an excuse to feel righteous and go after people.
Ummm… Yes?
