How? Where are they going to get all these weapons? Russia doesn't have enough to give them. They're not gonna buy from Iran. Maybe china but china most likely will not want to back Israel. And if the US and it's allies say they're done with this Israel isn't going to attack anyone because the US would just sit back and let Hezbollah and Iran do what they want

Ew

If you don't know how to shave properly sure

I think you missed this users sarcasm

Net worth being 330 k puts him firmly above most Americans so what is this

That fortune article says the net worth of an average American is 1.06 million. That doesn't make any sense because the median personal income of Americans if you take out the billionaires is 36,000 per year. The median net worth of American households is 121,000 dollars. So he is three times as rich at a minimum.

I legitimately don't have anything against Tim Walz, and he seems like a pretty decent guy

I just don't like when statistics are completely mislabelled to spread propaganda. And the republicans do a hell of a lot more of propaganda and don't back anything up, but this is basically just propaganda. You can make stats look however you want if you cherry pick them. Let's not fall into the trap. The problem is still the stupidly wealthy rich.

First off, weird to point out that they're "age appropriate"

If your kid reads above the age level and understands it that's generally a good thing

Number two I don't get why this is such a weird concept on how to explain things to a child. Seems pretty normal and "age appropriate"

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suite is it

It was this leverage and pressure that pushed biden to not run

This pressure should be kept up as long as genocide is occurring. You cannot have freedom and peace for you but not someone else, especially if you are in a country that forments and causes most wars in the world

I commute 5 hours a day for work, and have to go in 3 times a week. I take the train now, but still have to drive 25 min to the train station. Taking the train takes exactly the same time as driving to my job. Which by itself is ridiculous. Up until recently, the option of taking the train in was not available. So I spent 5 hours in my car. The price difference between moving closer to work Vs living where I am right now is almost 2.5k a month. I don't get paid enough to pay 48 to 52k a year in rent. I work in cancer research. The jobs are in the city, not outside. So I don't have a choice, because every company that does what I do is in the city, and doesn't do remote work.

I have a feeling you don't really understand how things work for people sometimes

Lancet is literally one of the most, if not the most, prestigious medical journal in the world.

If you don't believe the actual medical journal then you're lost. Plus Israel has bombed Gaza so much that they have destroyed all the hospitals and record keeping facilities. In addition, the US government passed a bill limiting publications from talking about the death toll. https://www.commondreams.org/news/genocide-denial-congress

On top of that, Israel has dropped a minimum of 300 bombs per day on Gaza since October 8th. If each bomb only killed one person, we would have a death toll of 300 per day x approximately 300 days is 90,000.

Because most people don't actually know that.

Most people have no idea where their laptops are coming from or what makes them run.

If you pay attention and you know about computers you would have heard something, but I guarantee you the average person has heard almost nothing about Intel's issues

The original was John Lennon wasn't it

Again, go pick up a history book. Glad to be blocked by a racist and a fool

Yet ignore the entire part where I talk about the non Christian world. And advancements before Christianity advent, which is not attributing that to Muslims. Do you have some reading comprehension issues?

Pretty sure Persia, India, and China all had great empires and knowledge well before Christianity was even a little sperm cell in the Judean god's sac but sure

Which btw most of foundational mathematics was created in the Eastern and Persian world, not by Christians. And it was from there that the Greeks got their knowledge. To the point Pythagoras was not the one who created or realized the Pythagorean theorem, it was just named after him because of the western world. And that was a couple thousand years before Christianity existed.

The literal word Algebra comes from Al Jebra and his works.

So yeah you're just racist and misinformed.

I agree Dems are pushing it more right now

What I would hope is that ranked choice would give rise to more parties/policies/options - people running on actual platforms, not just a two party system. Then we could actually start to push the country more to the left, because as it is, the US government is generally centre right and getting dangerously close to far right.

What I worry about though is that the second the Democratic party in it's current state sees that they are pushing far more left than they want, they'll try to put the brakes on it again because they don't want to lose their power.

Both sides are not the same, and I'm not trying to say they are. But pretending the Democrats are a left wing or liberal party is just not true - they have been going more to the right than the left for decades.

Either way though, if we can get ranked choice all across the US, I think that would be a phenomenal start to actually being a democracy

What does that have to do with anything lmao

King Leopold murdered ten million Congolese. The British empire 100 million Indians. The dutch started the slave trade.

I hope you're just really misinformed and not just really racist but you should take a quick stroll to your local library, buy a few history books and look around.

Christianity has been far more brutal and repressive for a lot longer than pretty much every other religion out there.

They actually literally did. That was a huge part of the crusades.

They even say that after Yellowstone put in its permit limit to 300 per day on the summit, incidents more than doubled because how hard the permits are to get causes more people to go up whether or not the weather is bad.

Also, important to note that weather in the mountains changes frequently and without warning. I do a lot of hiking myself, and I've gone into the mountains on days expecting absolute lashings of rain and got nothing, and more often I've gone on days where higher summits forecasts show clear or just in the clouds, and had to turn back because the storms and winds got so high.

Now even if I've planned a hike for weeks and the weather looks great, I'll still double check before I drive up. If it's just a bit of rain it's usually not the end of the world. It's when they say bad storms, flooding, lightning on the summit/winds above 70 mph where I'll bail.

I don't think it's necessarily stupid and there were clearly a load of other people up there as well. Its just really shitty.
