One where murderer isn't picked as the person of the year.

Starlink wasn't enabled in Crimea in the first place because of U.S. sanctions. The author lied about this and has admitted doing so.

You're asking the wrong person. I don't work for U.S. goverment - I don't know why the sanctions are what they are.

How's this an argument against what I'm saying?

It's prohibited by U.S. sanctions to Russia.

And replacing him with a murderer is better how, exactly?

It would be illegal to enable it within Russian/occupied territory because of US sanctions.

"Be the change you want to see in the world.”

I live by the rule that I imagine everyone doing what I’m doing. If everyone doing it would make the world a worse place, then I don’t do it. Conversely, if it would make the world better, I go for it. This mindset makes even small charitable acts feel meaningful—because while my individual contribution may be minor, if everyone did that little thing too, we’d all be much better off.

Seed oils are probably bad for you but the rest are either good or neutral. Olive or avocado oil is probably at the top but I don't think there's anything wrong with butter either

How exactly has he demonstrated his urge to see Ukraine fail?

EDIT: Still waiting for examples of this

Of all the issues we’re facing right now, this is one of the most clear-cut: he’s a murderer, and he will be convicted as one. There’s no room for ifs or buts. Even if one believes his motives were pure, there should be no doubt that this is not how political issues are solved. Violence has never been, nor should it ever be, the answer.

A world where political disagreements are resolved through assassinations is not one anyone wants to live in. It’s dangerously naive to think future acts of violence like this will only target people you consider villains. No, they’ll eventually target your heroes too - because your heroes are someone else’s villains.

Their description of him isn't exactly complimentary.

He has reshaped the American electorate, activating young male voters who propelled him to a decisive victory that saw him win the popular vote for the first time and turn every swing state red,” the outlet wrote. “Trump’s remarkable victory comes after he lost the 2020 election to Biden and repeatedly refused to accept the results. His 2024 win is history-making in multiple ways: he will be the oldest President in U.S. history, and he was convicted earlier this year by a New York jury of 34 counts of fraud, making him the first convicted felon to be elected President.

Yeah because it absolutely has to be either of these two. If I'm against murdered being picked, that means I'm for Trump. Flawless logic you got there.

A murdered picked as the person of the year? That's the world you want to live in?

I tend to support it because who says no to free money, but I'm not informed enough to form a strong opinion one way or another.

I don’t react by crying about people misconstruing my positions and then voting for someone who holds the complete opposite views out of some weird form of spite

Yeah, you don’t - but plenty of other people do. Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are perfect examples of this. You can dislike it all you want, but that doesn’t stop people from acting this way. What a party stands for doesn’t matter much if it can’t win elections. If their political approach isn’t working, doubling down is unlikely to help. Right now, what the “left” is doing isn’t winning them elections, and people are moving to the right - partly out of spite, because the left bullied them there.

No, my beliefs don't change. Only who I vote for.

I'd go back few years and quit my job and start my own business sooner rather than wait to be fired first.

It's library - not libary

Only the rich? Do police not come when you call 911?
