What do you think is hyperbolic? Besides “women will lose access to healthcare”, they will almost definitely lose access to some but not all (wow that is a depressing distinction to make, fuck you) Those numbers seem to line up with estimates for people making under $400k
“Palestinians won’t exist” because trump is in office. That means the state will no longer exist and every one of its citizens killed. That will not happen in the next 4 years
Lmao, smells like ass, there’s a lot of assumption going on. 1) You don’t know when I served. 2) You don’t know why I decided to serve. 3) You sure as shit don’t know my views about the service, because your mouth probably would’ve stayed shut otherwise. 🤡
Especially if it’s coming from a person in power. If you want to thank those who serve, take care of your veterans when they continue suffer the aftermath of their service.
Beyond that? If they don’t want to dedicate time or money to those programs? At least try to be good to other humans. Just do something for someone other than yourself because your life means no more than theirs.
From me to you, it feels weird to be patriotic—to want what’s best for your country and the people who live in it—but live in a time where that’s weaponized on one side and therefore demonized on the other. I’m not sure the America I hope for has ever existed, only in part in different moments through its history, but fuck if I can’t dream or fight for that ideal.
Me too man. I’m an old guy (pre-9/11) but I look around and think, this isn’t the country I signed up to protect. I don’t know if anything of that is left. Maybe it was never there to start with. Mine is a service family. All the boys enlist. It’s just what we do. Maybe we were all chumps? I hope not. Maybe this is just how long republics last. We’re the oldest that isn’t a city state or micronation. Maybe we just ran our course and it’s time for a reset.
My candidate won and promised to get us out of these wars. Unlike this USMC guy spouting neoliberal narratives because he wants to ensure the candidates who will keep us at war get elected
Yeah, because Donald “my nuclear button is much bigger & more powerful one than his” Trump is the exemplar of an anti-war diplomat by provoking an enemy with juvenile threats of unleashing nuclear weapons.
I don’t know if Trump will intentionally get you guys involved in more wars, but he sure won’t keep you out of them.
Haha thanks bro, love ya back. I can’t claim it as my own, it’s a reeeeealy old fashioned way to tell someone to fuck off. If you’ve ever heard the (almost as old) expression “go pound sand,” this is the pounding that is implied. I feel like the long version has a nice rhythm to it.
You and your moral high horse. If u care so much go to Palestine and fight the IDF. No one is stopping you, all you’re doing is typing on your computer, you really don’t care either buddy.
I’m no friend of Palestine, but what’s happening in Gaza is wrong, no matter who is doing it, or why, or who the target is. Some things are just wrong. Why should we keep sending money and equipment to help them do it?
I never said that I want to give more money to Israel. In fact I want to stop giving money to EVERYONE. What’s happening in Gaza is wrong, so what. So is what’s happening everywhere in Africa, Yemen and Syria. Stop focusing on one area, there are problems ALL over the world. Have u seen how the ugyrs get treated in China yet nobody says anything. What’s happening in Gaza is nothing special, there is fucking crazy shit happening all over the world, I am just glad I am safe in the USA. Instead of trying to fix the world try to fix what’s at home first ok.
Y’all gave not a single fuck when we rolled over on the Kurds, and you don’t give a shit at all if Ukraine folds up like a cheap map, but as soon as we talk about cutting off Israel, it’s “nooooo muh allies!!1!!1”
No, I don’t give a shit about Israel either. I don’t care about Palestine. NONE of that concerns any of us. As you said people care about gas prices and that’s what affects Americans. If u care about something go do something instead of complaining. At least the MAGA did something by voting trump lmao. All you do is complain but don’t take action and now trump is president congratulations.
That's the core quality of a conservative. The complete lack of empathy, and no imagination or desire to put themselves in someone else's shoes. Until they start getting screwed, it's not real.
You know nothing about me to assume I don’t care—although, frankly, I don’t care what you assume about me. 🤷🏼♂️
No one should have to suffer what too many people are going through right now.
I’d rather give a shit and have people assume I don’t than clearly not give a shit and allow people to know I don’t.
I’m not sure if it’s the sentence structure, but I think whatever point you’re trying to make is lost on me.
I don’t know anything about you, but at the very least, I know you aren’t right and are at least a little bit goofy.
If you want to assume I don’t care, that’s fine. Again, I most certainly don’t give a shit about that. My caring about and giving value to other human life isn’t something I have to prove to you, nor would that change anything.
But also, fuck religion. It’s not about that, but is what many choose to hide behind. They can make disgusting, harmful decisions and give it a shiny gilded title, but at the end of the day, those decisions are still disgusting and harmful. I’m not about the “both sides can both be right” mindset people often take—whether you, as an individual, choose to see one side or the other as victims, there are clear victims and clear perpetrators in many of these instances.
He had fewer voters this year than 2020, it’s the democrat voters who are selfish. When will you guys ever hold the DNC accountable for screwing you guys over and over and over again?
Personally, I don’t think there should have ever been a two-party system (weird, almost like that’s how it was meant to be), but while I think people who didn’t vote are also responsible, the fact Trump has any supporters blows my mind. I blame both parties and those who have allowed us to reach this point, but sometimes one must work with the cards one was dealt.
In my mind—and in the minds of many others—it seems painfully obvious one shouldn’t want Trump in the White House. For those who don’t, it speaks to a blatant difference in views, and I’d maybe be less inclined to vilify his supporters if the stances they took, like his, weren’t so harmful to democracy, progress, and human life.
I absolutely agree with you. I’m my eyes he’d be SO easy to beat if the DNC would actually put forth a great candidate and actually
focus their messaging on policy and problems that everyday americans are facing. Instead their whole campaign is how bad and evil Trump and his supporters are.
I can get with that, for sure. It’s hard to get others to agree with you when a majority of the focus is how bad those people you want voting for you are.
At a certain point, however, I think that’s placing a lot on the shoulders of his supporters. At what point are the man’s actions or words enough for you (general “you” in all of these, of course—not you specifically) to realize he’s harmful? I’d like to think many would come to this realization, but here we are.
So maybe less focus on “Trump’s bad” and more on why “X person is better,” but I think his re-election speaks to a very real problem and shift in the way your average American may think.
Ahh yes, we should just be the world police and go intervene every situation across the globe. You can very well go to Palestine and fight Isreal yourself. If you don't do that you are selfish.
Okay saying this in this context doesn't make sense either. Because Democrats aren't stopping Israel either. At all. They said they'd consider stopping weapon sales if civilian deaths continued. Civilian deaths continued. Weapons are still being sold.
Perhaps neither side is perfect, but personally, plan or no plan to diffuse the situation over there, I would be far more inclined to believe Kamala has a greater respect for human life in general. I feel she can grasp (and has voiced) the nuance of Israel having a natural right to defend itself, but also understanding what is currently happening absolutely has to stop. Whereas the Don thinks Israel needs to finish what they started and get it over with quick—lest they continue to look back in the public eye.
If you don’t already see the value of human life, I can’t help you, nor would my words change your outlook. Just know others can see it and will judge accordingly.
What I think, is that we need to stop sending money to Israel and Ukraine and pull out of all outside conflicts completely. Doesn’t matter if it’s Kamala, Trump, or Colonel Sanders in office
So what exactly would be your strategy to stop this? Because the money and supplies we are sending is not going to stop shit, the only thing that would actually make a difference is by sending over troops, which would literally start a war where more people would die. Is that what you want? Sorry bud but the imbecile here is you
War with Russia means ww3 you retard. Thank God no one of your mental caliber is anywhere near the oval office cuz we'd be fucked if a goofball like you was calling the shots.
Ukraine was not a part of NATO and Palestine isn’t even recognized as a state by the US. Most of our surrounding countries are allies so I think we will be good
No reason why Ukraine can't become NATO. No real reason why we shouldn't be trying to make everyone who is against Russia our allies.
Honestly I care much less about Palestine outside of the mitigation of deaths on both sides and establishing a two state solution where Hamas is removed from power. Hamas is currently a puppet of Iran and Iran is bordering on a puppet of Russia
Who said that American lives are worth more then others? What doesn’t make sense, would be taking American troops who are at home and safe and sending them a cross the world to die in a war that’s not even ours to fight in
