That's exactly what they want you to think! Muahhahah
Seriously though... It's not REALLY the US that's doing these things... It's the global oligarchy... They just use American soldiers because we were the only ones left with any after WW2 and it stuck. The oligarchy has no allegiance to any country or people and would absolutely bomb the shit out of America if it profited them.
The type of people who seek power probably won't change generation to generation... But the voters are changing rapidly as boomers die and millennials/zoomers replace them (far more progressive overall)... The voters will force the change, not the small percent that seek their own glory (ie the list you have there)
The boomers grew up in the "Golden age"... Gen x is the boomers first round of kids... Born from hippy free love and mistakes... Then the boomers grew up, got divorced, and started their millennial "real" families... Gen x caught the shit end of the boomer stick for sure, and it fucked them up as a generation... That and the fact that they caught a lot of the boomers pig headedness, probably because they had far less access to information than millennials.
Luckily they're a small and mostly insignificant generation that won't ever be able to prop up the old oligarchy parties the way the boomers have been able to.
Yeah... I guess it's more like, millennials were the first generation to have a majority get it, and Gen z is even better about getting it... But it's still not 100%
Gen z understands that the rich are the cause of their poverty, not immigrants or libs or other poor people. That's a big step in directing action in the right direction.
They also keep everyone poor and stressed so we don't have time or energy to think about anything else... Let alone something as nuanced and important as politics/democracy
So, first of all, I don't think ANYONE assumes magas will be rational.
Second, at least half of Republicans are magas at this point, probably more. So it's more like for every red hat there's 1 that might be on the fence, but very few of them would vote blue. But the Dems spend a shit ton of time and money trying to sway them... Mostly without success. Meanwhile millennials and zoomers are overwhelmingly progressive, and now make up about half the voters in the country. They aren't on the fence between Trump and not Trump, they're on the fence between voting Dem or not showing up (or voting 3rd party, which is the same as not showing up). All they need to show up and vote is for someone who actually represents them to run... Someone they can vote FOR. Dems are by and large almost there... They've already got the social stuff, they just need to embrace progressive economics, and they'll never lose again. People who are undecided between fascism and not fascism are not people who's votes we need anymore... They can slowly become irrelevant as the boomers die and life gets better under progressive policies.
My apologies then... I misinterpreted your original comment... I'm pretty sure you're correct that the Germans in general super support Israel... or at least what I've seen in the media or online makes it seem that way... But yeah, it could also be the government vs what the people really think kinda thing... Like in the US
Okay, but couldn't you look at this as them charging some people LESS? Like, if they know I'm not going to buy their trinket at $10, but I'm likely to buy it at $1 boom, "saved" me 9 bucks!
Plus, fuck the rich, they can pay more than me, I don't care.
But also... Stop fucking spying on everything I do!
The majority of the people are significantly more left leaning, but our politicians continue to drag the country to the right. (Particularly economically... Socially they just drag their feet, but we've had some progress) This is because the only "people" they care about are corporate people (as in corporations are people).
However, while the vast majority of human people are far left of anything happening in politics, what remains of the right is becoming more and more violently entrenched in their conservative ways... Basically the schism is because most of society is progressing into the future, while a small group refuses to come with us, and is determined to hold us all back.
I assume from context that you mean they support Palestine and are against Israel's genocide... Which doesn't make them Nazis... Actually kinda makes them not Nazis... Not sure how/why it's possible that Israel turned into Nazis, but they did.
I don't believe there are that many undecided voters in the center... The "undecided" voters are all on the far left... And they're deciding whether to show up, or not show up at all. Going after them by showing that the Dems will actually be fighting for them (against the oligarchy) is the smart move. The center is already decided.
However, I am open to the possibility that what's true on a national level might not necessarily be true in the swing states... So if anyone has any studies comparing the center undecided with the left undecided in the swing states, I'd love to see it
Right?! How about instead of "balancing" the ticket for bigots on the right, we balance it for progressives on the left?!
Oh but the left never votes and the center right always does... Yeah, because the center right always has at least 2 candidates to choose from while the left has none.
Honestly I think a Newsom/AOC ticket would do even better than Kamala/AOC... Just have to have someone actually progressive on there to get the young progressive left excited enough to show up
Just to clarify I meant AOC as running mate to Kamala... In case that wasn't clear. However, I think the more the magas run their bs the more the left will recognize whoever they're attacking as legitimate. I don't know why people worry what the right is going to say. They're going to spread their crap anyway. The young progressive left is larger than the center left at this point... Give them someone worth showing up for and they will, and then it won't matter what the Republicans do. Especially with Trump as the nominee... No one is moving blue to red while he's running... Maybe fewer centrist reds will move to blue but the young progressives will far outnumber whatever reds decide Trump is better than Kamala/AOC
I wonder if they did any other Internet activities on the phone at all too... I don't know for sure if it matters, but I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook can track where you go or have been on the Internet to some degree.
That's exactly what they want you to think! Muahhahah
