Do you know why Biden had a complete falling out with Bibi and why Bibi was quite clearly going behind Biden and supporting Trump's reelection? Do you know why Biden and Harris had no good choices when it came to Israel/Palestine ahead of the election?

If you want to know why people elected Trump not once but twice, I'd start with the Citizen's United decision and the complete stranglehold right wing media has in controlling the national narrative in this country. That's a hint to the last question as well.

Euro-Maga, basically...

Fuck propaganda has done a number on these people, exploiting their anger by pointing it to the wrong people.

Music. Listening; creating.. Doesn't matter. It soothes the soul.

I do appreciate television to be able to make people feel or convey a concept to those who otherwise might not get it. The Handmaid's Tale changed a lot of lifelong Republicans to Democrats, for example.

I don't think the vaporized petroleum is supposed to be on top of your engine block, but rather remain quite within it.

A mall store called World of Science back in the day helped propel my interest in science and exploration. Miss that store...

I miss the nostalgia of going to Toys R Us with my parents. I can still smell that new plastic smell occasionally that takes me back. I wonder what type of plastic that is because it seems more rare nowadays... Certainly carcinogenic lol.

Let's not idolize Buzz. He's an overreactive fucktard who endorsed Trump this election. The worst of all the Apollo 11 crew. Michael Collins was way cooler.

Yeah how the fuck do they exclude, "NASA Astronaut, combat pilot, and current US Arizona Democratic Senator..."

AOC definitely isn't just on social media. She's been out on the streets giving speeches with protesters and helped obstruct DOGE from receiving data from some departments.

Still I hear you. Bernie is a force who just seems more invigorated when he smells corruption.

Well sure but there are many niche groups who when aggregated together could've put us over the top. I just have to highlight this particularly group that so clearly shot themselves in the foot and should, ostensibly, know better. Trump supporters I can even understand more.

It's okay because uncommitted are patting themselves on the back.

In fact they'd probably go, "Harris would've done the same thing!" lmao.

"He who saves his country does not violate any law"

When Bush was underwater they just invaded Iraq and boom, polling shot back up.

Just wait for the crisis as per Milton Friedman's guidance.

The GOP has gone full blown metastasis across this country.

Stage 4 terminal for America, it's looking like.

As so easily predicted, immediate deflections away from the most clear-cut logical and ethical choices anyone could possibly make. Trump thanks you for your service, you good little accelerationist, you ;)

Edit: not sure why you deleted that. Also, I read that book. And Blowback. And A People's History. Ever read The Shock Doctrine?

If you're Canadian then don't "Y'all" have elections coming up and shouldn't you be focusing on preventing far-right extremists from taking over there instead of nitpicking in comment sections here?

and online “reaction” are never representing on the ground situation.

Unironically saying this as online reaction such as this, absent of any evidence or being on the ground themselves.

Fleeing from conscription is common across all wars, no matter how just. Russia has massive problems with people fleeing. Anyways, that's not really what the article was discussing.

It actually is pretty black-and-white in terms of who is fighting a just war, and who is fighting a war more akin to Hitler's invasion of Poland.

Pre-2014 borders, correct?

And what reputable source do you have to suggest that "almost half" of all arms that the US sent lined the "pockets of the leader class"?

I'm pretty sure they were attacking people over their stupidity in falsely equating Harris to Trump and the comparative damage they'd have for not just the genocide in Gaza, but also Russia's genocide in Ukraine. Anyone who felt they were the same deserves many "🤣" for their performative BoTh SiDeS grandstanding.

Hmm.. No Iran? No China? No Russia? No Saudi Arabia?

How convenient. Almost like Putin picked these to fracture western alliances or something...

I've already planned with my wider family that for the next 4 years we aren't doing jack shit for holidays. No black friday (tbh we never did anyway), no cyber Monday. No gifts for Christmas.
