with the rise of executive power from executive orders, every president is a dictator say one, rolling back previous administration policy and implementing their own.

terrorism is a crime. you use police to deal with crimes. investigate, get a warrant, and bring them to a judge.

hero

no one is promising to end democracy

you don’t care about anyone other than yourself.

this is a leap of logic

You see, people don’t have to answer you to still be correct.

no, but a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and any claim made in such a way should be doubted until it is evidenced.

Because I don’t live in a swing state my lack of voting for Biden does not support Trump

i live in a swing state, and my lack of voting for biden also does not support trump. only a vote for trump supports trump.

Hamas could end hostilities today by returning all hostages and surrendering its leaders to an international court.

there is no reason to believe that. the wall would still be there. palestinians would still be subject to arrest and imprisonment without trial. they would still suffer under a blockade.

the hostilities have never ended since 1947.

The president does not have carte blanche to just eliminate hundreds of billions of dollars in personal debt with the swipe of a pen.

yes, he does. the supreme court has no enforcement mechanism. they're the only ones who said he couldn't do it.

you are the only one saying that

First-past-the-post voting systems inevitably trend to two-party systems over time. We see it play out in election models and we see it play out in real life.

this claim is not falsifiable. it's a tautology with no genuine predictive power. it's not science, it is storytelling.

everything you said after this was also wrong

but why would taxes need to be increased at all? just change the account values.

gore won the vote in 2000. this is misinformation

nobody has the right to bitch until they open with their “I Voted” sticker as price of admission

silencing your opposition is antidemocratic

if you don't like where you are, there is something you can do about it.

the only people I’ve seen unironically say “genocide joe” are white bougeyviks

you don't know anything about anyone's identity here: on the internet no one knows you're a dog.

instead of attacking people, try dealing with the ideas

i have to say that this does not seem cut-and-dry. i'm not interested in defending any politician, and trump less than most, but i also think that laws are bad and would err on the side of ignoring or abolishing the law in about every case. given this proclivity, my lack of expertise, and the lack of clarity, i'm of the opinion that this whole endeavor is a big waste of time and energy.

the third reich had jewish collaborators

So far, we have no evidence of Neanderthal mtDNA lineages in modern humans

oof.

The Neanderthal and modern human lineages diverged about 550,000 years ago

... where? where did the neanderthal dna originate?
