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.

And he had all that before he got all this bad news about his only chance to avoid accountability.

I wonder if there can be more than one important issue effecting our future at a time...

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.

 

It wouldn't be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?
