  1. I'm so sick of Trump shouting heads and tails on coin flips and claiming a win no matter how it lands.
    315
  2. Charges of ... What is the charge? What is the crime? And she better has a good answer because unlawful prosecution is a crime on itself.
    304
  3. Too bad no Fox viewer will ever see this.
    171
  4. How often do we have to repeat this: Only US Citizens get a Social Security Number. Only people with a Social Security Number get a Stimulus Check. Only US Citizens can register for voting. Only people who are registered and opt-in for mail in voting get a mail-in ballot send home.

  5. You cannot threaten just one EU member. All 27 are in the EU customs union except Norway. A tariff on one is a tarriff on all.
    101
  6. Report the Whitehouse (Musk, Melania, etc).
    97
  7. This is how it started in Germany too. The so called "unwanted" the ones people prefer not to see not to care for. It was not just jews or even the first group. The gay, the homeless, the mentally ill, the gypsy people, later jews, moslems, bolschewics, the educated, socialists. The list of "unwanted" was constantly extended once the model was in place. And it also started with "don't want to see them anymore" and ended in Auschwitz.
    92
  8. That's their subconsciousness. Deep down they wanted to lose and all the anger is there because they won. And soon they blame us for not preventing it.
    88
  9. I don't care about their opinion everyone is entitled to one. But what makes my blood boil is seeing them lying about the facts, omitting informations or exaggerating things distorting or even negating reality. People make up their minds based on the facts if you have wrong facts you cannot have a proper opinion.
    85
  10. More like blocking the truth to service members. And it impedes on freedom of speech/press.
    84
  11. They just hate to see that trans-people drinking and eating like they do maybe even the same brand as them. It undermines their hate and wish to distance themselves from "them". I even think they fear being seen or even called trans just by being seen accidentally drinking the same brand. Quite snowflaky if you ask me.
    83
  12. Did you know that eggs in Europe are not put in the fridge in supermarkets but in the US they are. Same reason. Hygene at the place the eggs come from. The EU has pretty tight regulations and protocols regarding that. Also the washing of eggs was forbidden because the washing process removes a natural membrane around eggs preventing bacteria to enter the shell. The US washes the hell out of them allowing more contaminents to get in there.
    81
  13. Who would have thought a year ago that the US will lose more than 500.000 people within 12 months to Corona? I can still hear Trump saying "It's just a flu".
    79
  14. There is no honor among thieves. Of course they will. They rat each other out when put under pressure and betray each other and drop each other the moment it's benefitial or less damaging for them.
    79
  15. This happens when you allow people like Tucker to rant unhinged about unexisting enemies.
    78
  16. I knew about this for a year now and I agree it's barely mentioned. But this is definitly a credit to Biden not repeating the mistakes of the Obama-Era especially after what Trump and McConnel did in their time.
    76
  17. Trump liked the devotion and the blind belief in everything he seen in religion ... but was never religious himself. For Trump religion is a tool to control and to get attention.
    76
  18. I'm following Laowhy86 and Serpentza for years. One of the best and for me most trusted sources for information from and about China. It started with just presenting China and what it has to offer and I did watch them just to get to know China a bit. It turned political and critical just in the last years as they had to leave the country.
    75
  19. It's unbelievable the greed shown here ... the people who pay already the lowest percentage in taxes compared to everyone else while being the richest people on the planet complain the most about having checked even their little tax.
    62
  20. Report Mar-a-Lago ... constantly.
    59
  21. How do they know "They are on the list?" This means they were caught. Meaning the border is not as open as they pretend. Meaning nothing changed at the border between Trump and Biden.
    59
  22. It's even worse young carriers are hardly affected and most likely not stay home and so spread it even stronger than old people. Super-spreader really.
    58
  23. There is another solution. Dissolve the Electoral College and base the presidential election on the public vote. 1 person = 1 vote. With that it makes no difference where you vote all votes are counted equal.
    52
  24. They have to believe these things because otherwise it would mean Trump lied to them and admitting they fallen for a conman. This is not about Trump this is about themselves and admitting to be wrong.
    50
  25. Democrats are more "Christian" than Republicans in their policies and in their actions. Passion, Empathy, Dignity, Decency. I can't find that anymore among Republicans or their policies. I can only see selfishness, greed, dishonesty, sloth and pride. Remind me what were the sins in Christianity.
    50
  26. It is a question of trust which requires integrity and honesty. And in this case he undermined both.
    50
  27. But this was the main-reason people voted for him. To bring prices back to pre-covid levels. I mean he mentioned it ten or more times on each rally and speech he has done for almost a year.
    48
  28. Instead of stating arguments try asking clever questions instead. Make her think and allow her to come to her own conclusions. You can even put factual information into the question without them noticing. The only way to pull someone out of a cult is doubt. This is why all cult fight doubt as hell.
    48
  29. I thought Harris is already the official nominee. The delegates held a virtual meeting and voted online. She won.
    45
  30. Thank you for sharing. Interesting insights.
    44
  31. The point is to keep the money in the loop of economics. It doesn't help if it ends up on an offshore-account, or even converted into crypto-currency, gold or stocks because the wealth is just stitting there. And the final version of this will actually be UBI.
    42
  32. I recently heared the phrase "Trump's superpower is knowing exactly how to avoid criminal liability" and it fits so well to this. Trying to get rid of evidence.
    40
  33. This will create a lot of jobs and may begin the journey into the 21st century for the United States of America overdue for 21 years.
    40
  34. We will never know because the challengers have not been given a fair chance. Most democrat voters are not even aware there are some ... because there is no free and fair primary.
    38
  35. Today I was reminded that: "People who seek attention should best be ignored."
    38
  36. If Trump wins next year I would get/renew my passport as quickly as possible ... just in case.
    36
  37. Step 1: Call your Congressperson and complain and express your worries. Repeat that regularly. Step 2: Inform yourself about protests in your state and join them. Same for federal protests if you can. Step 3: Help in Florida in the two special elections to flip the House towards the Democrats so Congress is finally an ally to the people not a collaborator to Trump. It will only be a small thing because the Senate will remain Republican but it helps as committees are chaired by Democrats again and can start investigations and supeanoa people. And the important role of the speaker goes to a Democrat.
    35
  38. You know what's fascinating these lobbying groups don't help Trump because he is strong but because he is weak and easy to control and manipulate. A praise here a compliment there and he is your best friend and doing everything for you.
    35
  39. The Trump regime pledged to cut regulations for bussinesses. Can these deregulations when affecting livestock influence outbreaks like these and make them more likely?
    34
  40. I have not. And I found it even funnier that Trump did not understood why they were laughing "Not the reaction I was expecting". This is the magic of political satire (or "trolling" in newspeak) only people with enough empathy and/or knowledge can understand it.
    34
  41. I think what future generations will ask us is "How could you ever let it come to that?"
    34
  42. An observation to that: They made it much harder in the US to quit a job especially those with mid to heigher wages. They bind your pension to it, maybe stock options, they bind your healthcare to it, benefits like parental leave, the place you live, the school your kids can go to and the quality of the schools resulting from it. All designed to "keep you locked in" and potentially to accept worse conditions, harder requests and maybe not as much wage because you fear to lose all of those benefits. And it doesn't end there. The welfare system is designed to make it hard for you to be without work. So quitting is always connected to a risk when you cannot immediatly start another job because there is barely a social net. This also keeps you more docile to your superiors in fear of loosing your job and a chilling effect of you asking for stuff.
    27
  43. The description fits so much better on Trump in all aspects. It's almost has if Trump wrote it himself.
    26
  44. Next on the ToDo-List: Resetting constituance boundaries. Reset Gerrymandering to normal. The "Red Plan" needs to be abolished!
    26
  45. Why should Covid be a deciding factor for 2024? Why would you ruin your future based on something happened 4 years ago? No you vote for whoever you disagree with the least. Period.
    25
  46. If they had found anything in Arizona they would wave it at us for over 2 months 24h a day. I mean they look for 3 months now already.
    25
  47. Number for followers is not important for me, quality and especially truthfullness is. And I gladly watch the channel with just half of the followers if the content is good, honest, interesting and newsworthy. For me there is no difference if someone has 20,000 followers or 2 mio nor would I trust a channel with more/less subscribers more or less ... only the content is the measure for "quality" for me.
    24
  48. I forgot to mention something: And do you know why they need to wash them? Because of the environment they are layed in. Batteries where chickens have not even the size of a basketball for themselves. The eggs look horrible unwashed. Noone would buy them like that.
    24
  49. What is preventing you from living in accordance with your religion? Noone will say anything. The problem we have is when you want to enforce it on everyone else.
    23
  50. I've heared of people hanging on the ventilator and still denying Covid exists. It's like their opinion is worth more to them than their life. However I think what people actally protect is their sanity. If Covid exists and is as dangerous as "the other side" always said than "the others" might be right on others things as well. And worse: When they admit it they also have to admit they fell victim to a major betrayal. A betrayal reaching from their bed to the capitol and it's so huge that people prefer to pretend to still believe in the lie because the other way would break their heart and potentially mind.
    22
  51. Not just Denmark. Brits and Germans are angry at Trumps Co-President Musk. Even Italys right-wing government has some harsh tones towards Trump. France is pretty angry and planning military strategies already.
    21
  52. If I would be a judge. I would sentence them to work 14 days as nurses on a Covid station to make them see what Covid is and what it does.
    21
  53. The Progressive Democrats are a larger threat to Corporate Democrats than their Corporate Republican brothers. Progressive Democrats do not accept corporate bribe money and therefore can do what people need and want not what corporations and superwealthy want. On top: The Progressive Democrats actually want to drain the swamp while the Corporates feel so warm and fuzzy sitting in it.
    21
  54. Without immigration the problems in the US would be much worse. It's quite simple and quite reasonable: There is something called demographics. To maintain a population you need 2.1 children per family. And America as most other rich nations is well below it. People cannot afford kids anymore and the greed, wealth and income inequality made it hard for couples to have kids without proper housing, proper money, proper healthcare, proper childcare, proper education. Immigration provides workforce without the growing up phase, the education phase. Immigrants are often young and able to put to work immediatly doing the jobs Americans prefer not to do anymore. Society would fall apart without this influx.
    20
  55. Watch any Karen-video out there. The moment Karen's feel losing or being cornered they getting aggressive. Now Karen's are the prelude to what comes next just more extreme and more violent. Jan-06 was a teaser for that.
    18
  56. Why don't you have a look at Germany. Germanys democracy was heavily influenced by the american democracy as one of the victors of the 2nd world war. However the Germans not just copied the American constitution they incorporated the experiences made during the Weimar Republic (Germanys first version of a democracy) and how Hitler was able to get into power. So they made an improved version which covered a lot of "bad experiences" made by the power grab of Hitler and mistakes which were made in Germany's 1st democracy. Germany has a very strict seperation of powers and numerous unchangable laws which protects the democracy and the constitution from changes andd prevent powergrabs. This includes a high-court like the Supreme Court who watches as the 3rd power over what executive and legislislative are doing. It also ensures nothing can be totally centralized by watching over federalism as well. It also ensures the base rights formulated in the constitution are not improperly changed or even abolished and protects human rights. However the Bundesverfassungsgericht (that it's name roughly translated the "federal constitutional court") is not political. It remains strictly a legal watchdog and it does not involve itself in the legislation as the supreme court does unless legislation infringes on the constitutional rights or human rights. It proved to be very useful and necesarry and overall relative robust but above all it's not politicised quite the contrary every politican tries to avoid situations which makes the involvement of this court necesarry because it complicates things. So law-making tends to be within the confines of the constitution and never be so extreme that it allows grounds of involving this court. ... As it should be. Intresting side-remark. Germany also removed the election of the leader of government (the chancelor) to be directly voted by the population. The parliament is voting on the chancelor. The people just vote the parliament. It prevents that leaders can fool the population by charm or personality or by lies because members of parliaments vote and they can detect lies a little earlier than normal people usually. It's another protection made in view of the Weimar Republic and Hitler.

  57. She perfectly desribed the symptoms of Covid. In so far you are right: The simplest explanation is (as so often) the most likly one. And I will never understand why some people think "reality cannot be this boring" and need a conspiracy theory to explain things.
    17
  58. I think encumbency should not be a factor. Even encumbents should justify their actions and reassert their position by going through the full primary and letting the voters decide. If the framers would wanted presidencies to last 8 instead of 4 years they would have written it in the constitution. Now the DNC leaves you no say of the matter. It's Biden or Trump and this feels like blackmail.
    17
  59. You want to make a statement about tomorrow? Raise the American flag upside down.
    16
  60. Try treating those people like kids. Polite, friendly, caring and patronising. It works astonishingly well for some reason. It's almost as they seek guidance and leadership but the problem is they put their trust in manipulative hate-sources like Fox.
    15
  61. Fox: Tells you what you want to hear. Not what you need to know.
    15
  62. They are afraid of being canceled - That's why they try to paint it as a bad thing and apply it to ridiculous things. I actually adopted the term and idea and now whenever I see something or someone bad I only say "I/We need to cancel him/her/them"
    15
  63. Can someone please give us justice. Karma where are you in regards to Donald Trump?
    15
  64. He probably filed a copyright infringement already.
    14
  65. The more they lie and the more ridiculous the lies become the sooner people will realize that they lie and/or finally have enough of it being Republicans or not. PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BEING LIED TO.
    14
  66. For me two red flags exists to identify if I am in a cultish group or not: 1) Lack of scrutiny Can you criticise / post objective critique about the group itself, it's leader and/or it's decissions. If no you are in a cult. 2) Lack of Truth / Logic / Reason Are the group members activly beeing lied to. And can you freely talk about those lies or are you suppressed for even trying. If you are suppressed or bullied for it you are in a cult.
    13
  67. I would recommend to retire from politics and start his own nightly talkshow.
    13
  68. And America never had a president with owned property in Moscow and China and larger sums of debt.
    13
  69. What America really needs is more flavors than just 2 parties. America needs a true multi-party system. I mean if you go to a fastfood restaurant you also not just choose between breakfast and dinner. But the system needs to be slightly changed to make this viable.
    13
  70. Right-wing voters should seriously sit down and think what they actually want in life because "owning the libs" isn't helping on that. Your wish to hurt the other side is making your goal even less likely because the side you have to support for that has terrible policies.
    12
  71. What does it matter [for us] how many followers David has? Only his content is important [for me]. Having followers/subscribers does not mean people agree with the content-creator they just want to be informed when new content is available. So why complain about it and allege bots? Is that envy?
    12
  72.  @zogar8526  Why do you accept anti-democratic practises just because they have become a tradition?
    12
  73. What they show is "cognitive dissonance" It's when people have contradicting stuff in their heads and cannot make heads or tails out of it anymore. It's like a rupture in reality and brains have a hard time dealing with this.
    12
  74. That's a joke right? I mean this like god testing if Donald done his homeworks this time and learned something.
    12
  75. Fox-News are millionairs paid by billionaires to ensure the masses have the "right" opinion based on false or missing facts.
    12
  76. I think YouGov should have ask differently like "Do you want a Civil War?". I'm pretty sure a lot of people on the sane-side only said "yes" to the poll because they think the others wants a Civil War. Another question I would love to hear about: "Would you personally fight in a Civil War?".
    11
  77. I just seen a video about the Theory of Stupidity. And it's scary how close the definition comes to reality in America.
    11
  78. He is also the Commander in Cheat ... that's why he is not used to being one himself. EDIT: BTW "Commander in Cheat" is the name of a book describing how Donald Trump is playing Golf. If you read that you understand how he usually makes sure he is winning and how desperate he needs it.
    11
  79. Reagan-omics had more than 40 years to show it's working. It's not! ... Time for something new.
    11
  80. Have you not heared? They have visited just this week. Today in Bidens Press Briefings Journalists being there actually ask questions about it. On another more human note: Imagine you are sitting in those facilities. Do you really want to be filmed by national TV? Watched like animals in a zoo just with a mobile phone or even camera?
    11
  81. Maybe brocken clocks are right twice a day but in 99.861% of the time they are wrong.
    11
  82. Interesting little side-information: BioNTech the german company actually doing the science was co-founded by scientists who are children of turkish immigrants and an austrian cancer expert. Once more prove that people should not be judged by their origin or race.
    11
  83. He got away again. This guy never faces consequences. Rule of Law in America? Where is it?
    11
  84. Not sure about federal workers but on private companies there was always anther angle to this. Rich people own office buildings and lease them to companies for top dollars. Companies needs office space for their workers. However home office means you need less office space or none at all. So the establishment is actually not that happy about home offices. And there is more to it. Restaurants and Bars in the city for lunch and dinner after office, Ueber and Lift losing potential customers. There is a lot of profit tied to you going to the office.
    10
  85. The right is about choice? Like a woman's right to choose over her own body?
    10
  86.  @ItsGulfofMexicoDump  For? What is the crime?
    10
  87. Ever heard about the "Sunk-Cost-Fallacy" the more you invested into something the more you are willing to invest more and do everything to ensure it's success. And people invested a lot into Trump. Not just elections and donations but also friendships, relationships, partnerships and even family over a decade. It will be very hard to let go and accept falling for the con.
    10
  88.  @davehallett810  Yes ... for possession of mariuhana. Not criminals.
    10
  89. Sure there are. But Trump more and more ignores them. And ignores the justice system who still enforcing them. You have to seperate between the different roles here. The judiciary with their courts, judges, supreme court and the executive with the DOJ, FBI, Marshal service and the white house.
    10
  90. He is not attacked for advocating to use paper ballot. I can even support this idea personally. He is for being obsessed about proving a lie and being obsessed about getting confirmation for something he already believes. And being close minded and stubborn about any reasonable counter argument.
    10
  91. Germany mandates everyone to have a personal-ID from the age of 16 or higher. It's the basis of your national (and now also EU-) identity and work even as a passport in the EU. If you not have enough money to pay for it you are being supported. And it's used for everything else requiring ID from opening bank accounts to unlocking mobile phones even your drivers license is deriving from this. With this you are auto-registered for voting. No extra registration, no extra costs, no extra paperwork, no extra IDs. You get the voting-papers right send at home with the option to request mail-in ballots if you want to. It's easy, simple, equal for all and fair and it doesn't discriminate (besides people who live illegal in the country and have therefore no ID but which makes them easy to spot as well).
    10
  92. Solar- and Wind are currently the cheapest form of energy. Cheaper even than Nuclear. Why don't we use it more? It makes sense ecological and economical. I also think we need a mixed approach since Solar and Wind are still fluctuating with weather. So I don't say never use nuclear, but don't treat it as the only answer.
    10
  93. I'm afraid not. This would mean admitting to have been conned. This is hard for everyone but especially for people who live in denial about Trump for 10 years.
    9
  94. I think the true source are economical and financial problems in society. Leading to anxiety, fear, hate, potential existential fear. This makes it easier to make more anger and direct the anger to wherever an whoever media wants to. And for that you need to lie and as it so happens the Truth is treated badly in media.
    9
  95. The right is about choice? They constantly trying to make voting harder and in favor of the GOP. Not really looking like giving you a choice or making it easier to choose. And their favorite model is for you to not have a choice at all. About the candidates to choose from, the party, your religion, your speech/opinions, about what you read, what gender you have, what schools you can go to. The list goes on an on.
    9
  96. Williamsen has 14% more than most of the Republican primary challengers. And even Cenk Uygur managed to get more than some strange Governors who run in the Republican primary at the beginning.
    9
  97.  @whyamimrpink78  I'm afraid you have a lot to learn about critical thinking and the difference between facts/informations and opinions. You may get two different opinions, but not different sets of facts. There is only one set of facts we call it reality otherwise known as the Truth. All other are lies (intentional) or misinformations (unintentional).
    9
  98. And admitting to not know is okay as well.
    9
  99. That's why the US Democracy should not used as a role model. It has way too much flaws being 200 years old and especially the last years show more and more it's weaknesses. And there are way to much similarities to the mother of all Democracies Britain. And oh wonder, Britain has similar problems as the US. Have a look at Germany, it's also Federal and it's their 3rd Democracy already and it was made Fascism-proof after the last guy 70 years ago.
    9
  100. Gas Prices - Maybe you should give some examples about foreign gas prices to give a perspective how distorted US prices actually are on this. It's ridiculously cheap in the US ... no wonder noone wants to talk about climate change when it's so cheap to make the problem worse.
    8
  101. Frankly this is disturbing. I will advocate for progressives to seperate and make their own party. I am aware of the vote splitting and what this all means but this is unacceptable in a system which is designed to be 2-parties only. It means there never was a democracy in America and the game was rigged from the start. We will see how the Democrats can survive without the progressive voters. And if this means the Republicans will win for a while or that even Trump or someone like him comes along ... so be it. It is time for reforms.
    8
  102. Don't call them stupid. It only pushes them further away. Don't try to ague with them based on facts. It pushes them only further away. They can't defend themselves against you that's why you only push people further away. If you make a mistake and argue wrong you can even make it worse. If you really must than argue from yourself by explaining why you think what you think and how you come to this conclusion. That way you do not attack those people directly with arguments and appear less aggressive you open up a way for them to understand you without being coerced into it. Try to make a connection on the emotional level. It's the only way to get through to them. This is especially successful when you are family, related or friends. Make them understand what effects their thinking, saying and actions have on you and your relationship with this person. To most persons family or friendship are more important than political opinion. If you can try to avoid political subjects, again try to connect on personal, emotional or family level. Try to seperate people from political media but carefully not by forcefully taking it away. Offer them something else to engage them in something more intresting for them. The longer you can keep affected people away from any political news and opinions for a while the better people change and even might lose interest. If you yourself are affected by this. Just try to ignore all political media for 2 weeks. Just shut it all off and do something else the world can and will continue without you. You lose this feeling of "missing something important" this strong hunger for more input after some days and you have a chance to go back to a normal level. And be absolutly honest to them. Don't try to hide things or even lie it can destroy every progress you made if you are found out. If you don't know anything be honest and tell them. People can understand that you don't know things but making something up or lie can make it worse than before.
    8
  103. The thing with the "everyone thinks it, so it must be true" has actually a name: Confirmation-Bias you could also call it "group thinking". But it's a terribly unreliable and dangerous especially with channels like Fox, OAN, Newsmax around who all say the same and all who confirm you watched the same channel. This is actually the reason why the same people say: Don't watch CNN or MSNBC or Left Social Media because they actually say something else and might give you an information the other hide from you.
    8
  104. "People prefer a comfortable lie over a hard truth."
    8
  105. And they wonder why people grabbing for the pitchforks in America if this is just ignored and allowed.
    8
  106. More like an excuse so their own or their donors taxes are not increased. Still not realized, but taxes reduce inflation.
    8
  107. When misinformations and lies costing lifes ...
    8
  108. Sometimes even a calculator is not helping. Simplest case: How much percent is 7 out of 83? If you don't even know how to handle this question even a calculator is not helping. And it's similar with even more complex matters. How do you check facts when you don't know how. How do you detect lies when you fail at simple logic.
    8
  109.  @uncockblockable1235  If they don't pass this the Republicans can continue to use the state legislature to undermine the democratic vote ... and they (Democrats) are potentially not elected anytime soon. It's as simple as that. Even the centrists should have an interest in passing this or the Republicans will make sure the Dems are not voted anytime soon again. I would expel everyone from the Democrats who do not vote for this bill. They are either corrupt, secret Republicans or simple have the wrong mindset for the Democratic Party. In any case they support the Republican party indirectly and vote against democratic principles and should therefore be banned from politics ... at least on the side of the Democrats. And everyone from the Republicans not voting for this are against fair and correct elections and are therefore against the US Democracy ... no matter how much they say they want to protect it. They simply lying. This bill contains laws which are standard for most of the western democracies it's strange the US still havn't them.
    8
  110. Why the hell not? These are just laws. Laws can be ammended.

  111. I have two theories on this: a) Matt Gaetz will make a plea-deal to escape prison and deliver a larger fish to the prosecutors. b) Matt Gaetz has a pardon from Trump he didn't showed anyone yet and his lawyer will present on trial. By showing it he admits crime and by using it to get a jail-free card he admits guilt. And even implicates Trump to a point because he gave thim this piece of paper. Either way, his career is over and his reputation will haunt him for the rest of his life.

  114. I saw an informative 22 min video about the Theory of Stupidity yesterday. And I immediatly recognize what this is. They checking up if Gibson belongs to them or to the "others". They checking if he is subscribing to the groupthink. I have to say I always thought malice is scary but not as scary as stupidity.

  128. I wonder if the stigma of quitting in the anglosphere also has something to do with the language. Other languages have different words for ending your job and "giving up" which gives quitting a different undertone. You not see it as "giving up" but as finding a better opportunity or as said ending one path to begin another.

  129.  @whyamimrpink78  Thanks for confirming my opening comment. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Now what would happen if person A gets the real facts and person B slightly changed or even totally made-up ones. They would made their opinion on them and come to different opinions and they will debate until hell freeze over because they started not from the same base information. This is why lies or misinformations are dangerous because they create debate, division, anger and hate ... because both think they are right and based on the facts given to them they may actually be ... but one person got false facts.

National money printing is bad enough but leaving it to private person is of which the richest have the easiest way to make more it corrupt. And I have not even started yet talking about Climate Change, Tax-Avoidance, Tax-Fraud, Illegal money tranfers, terrorism, illegal goods payments, and and and. But I will no continue here and now to discuss it because it's offtopic.

  136. What I would want is that all wages, benefits and pensions are bound to the inflation rate. Meaning they have to rise at least by the inflation rate automatically. This would make inflation neutral for people on earned income (working people).

  139. Germany and the UK have publicly funded media. They collecting funding directly from the population in some kind of mandatory fee for people to fund themselves this makes them independent from special interests and from the government. Two factors are essential here: 1) Funding has to be collected from the public without government involvement or involvement from companies (via ads) or even outside private funding for example from billionaire or they have leverage over the media 2) The management/control of the media has to be outside the influence of government. The latter is currently a major issue because in the UK the BBC managers are appointed by government and the current Tory government gone a little overboard with their attempts at taking over. Ironically this is exactly what David Pakman or other channels like TYT do just on a much larger scale.

  140. He hasn't noticed but it all goes down to wages (income) and that there is not enough of it due to inflation. This is because wages do not rise at least the same as the inflation rate and this is happening since the 70ties. However not all wages mid and low wages. The high wages however exploded. And now we are back at income inequality and the question how much of the revenue you make with your work goes to you. And this looks awfully bad in favor of shareholders and owners. In short ... greed and unwillingness to fairly share.

  141. There is a movie I really like which seems harmless if not even naive at first view but it perfectly represents what is happening in America. Maybe in slighly different topics but you can find all elements. This movie shows it in the most American way possible. I highly recommend watching it and think about the parallels: The movie is called "Pleasantville".

  143. Title of the video is exaggerated. I didn't hear lunacy or insanity but I got the feeling this called starting to feel something is not right with Trump otherwise he would not have considered apologizing. The problem is not Trump the problem is the caller. Admitting what Trump is requires admitting Trump conned you and betrayed you and considering how many years and on what cost for Americans and America this came it is not easy to admit especially if you actively helped him on social media and also voted for him. It will take time. Trump will be gone one day and America will need decades to deal with the aftermath.

  156. Can you exchange the word belief with "opinion" here please. "Belief" has too many things attached. But what you describe here are Opinions and Freedom of Speech is sometimes refered as Freedom of Opinion. EDIT: And when you want to make me really happy, than you also explain what Facts are compared to Opinions and that both are not the same. And how you can lie about facts, but not really about opinions. And that there is only one version of the facts (we call it the Truth or Reality), but everyone of us can have a different opinion on those facts. And if you want to round this up you can mention that impartial media or unbiased media is media which is not mixing fact and opinion and optimally only give you the facts and leave opinion out of it.

  158. Compare this with a diagramm of Income Inequality in America and you will find they coalesce. The next thing socially on this compare the numbers of low-, middle- and upper-class households and you will find, that over the decades the middle-class diminshed significantly. Why is this important? Republicans get their donations from super-rich in exchange for tax-reductions for them and to ensure minimum wage and minimum worker rights so their profits max out. And Republicans get their money from the middle-class which gets smaller and smaller who fears to lose what they have achieved and because they think voting Conservatives would "conserve" their wealth and status as middle class (status quo, they want to maintain what they have). And this fear of losing your status creates fear and anger over time when the situation does not get better. They look for a reason for that and a direction to where to direct the anger. And to prevent the middle-class from seeing the truth that the anger should go to the people who sits in government they preemtive give them another target to make sure people never find out the Republicans are actually the source of all problems. And suddenly immigrants and illegals are made public enemy no 1 as well as all people who are not white. And since Republicans cannot make people vote on the basis of good policies anymore (all policies are not for the middle-class anymore but for the super-rich because they donate the most to the Republicans) the only way to keep getting elected is to fuel this anger-directing at "people who are different" and saying "They make the problems. We get rid of them if you elect us." But it's a lie. That THOSE people are the problem in the first place and that they actually want to end the problems. Without problems no anger, without anger you need another reason to still being elected. That's also why Republicans always and only talk about the future. The only thing they can do is promising about tomorrow, but they never deliver. They cannot deliver because as soon as people have no problems they no longer have anger and without anger they no longer need a target to put the anger at. And without that Republicans cannot win elections anymore because their policies are actually against the middle and low-class own interests but people ignore this because "they are on my side" or so they think. It's a vile cycle of lies and blame-gaming. And people continue to fall for it thanks to so called "News Channel" (actually Opinion-channels) owned by the super-rich to ensure Republicans are still voted and to "form" and "direct" public opinion and especially to make sure the anger of the people is not directed at Republicans. And this is also the explanation why those Opinion-Channels try to direct anger at intellectuals as well and all people who are able to make things better and especially all News-Channels and people who would be able to tell people the truth about all of this. Because if the people ever found out how far they have been betrayed by their own kin they will probably end the GOP instantly and never vote them again.

  161. Humans normally go through 5 phases of acceptance (or grief): Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Very often "Shame" and "Regret" is a feeling at the end of this process. The strength and duration depends on how much problems, damage and costs you caused over the 5 steps. They can reach from hours to lifetime especially if it involves actions which cannot be taken back like leading to deaths and suffering of humans. Don't take those feelings lightly they are designed as a reminder to not repeat this again.

  163. European here. The Brits currently tend to drift away especially conservatives there. He is a typical Tory Brit nowadays: Long Long Long Windy Talking ... no substance and not able to focus on the question and not able to admit that Johnson pushed the Brit Conservatives extremly to the right since 2016 (the Brexit Referendum) and completly changed the Conservatives to something barely resembling what Conservatism was. The good conservatives - the ones people voted for 70 years - are gone. Expelled from the party last year while placing country before career in preventing a so called No Deal Brexit (Leaving the EU without any agreement which has serious economically consequences). If you think you get a European average opinion from a Brit especially a conservative you couldn't be more wrong. The fact of the matter is, the so called Brexiteers in the UK are strong Trump fans because he allows them to live out publicly their racism and hate for foreigners because they think they are ones why the country has so many problems and getting rid of them somehow makes their lifes better and moreso Trump as President in a way allow them to live out their ignorance as well like: He is ignorant in public and he has power so I can be and have too. He somehow gave them a freepass to spread around their bullshit so society is more and more drowing in ignorance and it deepens the divide in society and ignorance as always creates all kind of problems especially with Corona around because ignorance cannot solve problems it only creates them. There is support for Trump across the continent, but almost exclusively from extreme right parties because they hitchhike to grab power. However since most of the continent has proportional voting (not the UK ... yet) the political spectrum is full of all kinds of parties from the left to the right. People have much more choice. But the most right ones of them are the only ones who would vote for Trump the rest not so much not even the Conservatives. Mrs. Merkel from Germany for example actually is a Conservative.

Education changes need 10 to 20 years to effect society, but if you preserve and protect the truth even a Trumpist suddenly can make reasonable decissions. But not as long as Fox and Co and Republicans at the same time filling them up with lies all day. Create a "Right for Truth" as a human right. It creates a legal basis to make people who are lying responsible for it and as a Human Right it can limit the use of Freedom of Speech to justify the lying somehow. (Only Human Rights can limit Humans Rights).

  197. 1) People are angry at the situation they are in or the country is in. 2) People seek the right target for their anger to improve things. 3) Fox and the Republicans make an "enemy" for people to get angry at anything as long as it's not the Republicans [who arguably are the real problem and the only way to make things better] 4) Fox and Republicans: "Vote us. We promise to fix all this." 5) Republicans get elected and never plan to fix anything. Fixing things would take away the reason to be voted. Back to Step 1. Rince and Repeat.

  198. Trump is not the ATM you are. The billionaires pay Trump so he gives them the opportunity to use the normal Americans as an ATM. Reducing their own taxes on your expenses, government contracts for them, subsidies for them, insider informations for them, rules and regulations gone or added that helps them making more profit on your expenses, among other things.

  199. What I noticed generally is that those channels all day trys to aggravate people, to make them angry at something, to force them out balance out of calm, to increase the blood pressure. And than between the lines hardly noticeable pushing this anger into a certain direction the channel wants. Controlled-Outrage or whatever you want to call it. This "directing" is very subtle controlled away from Republicans, away from policies the American Oligarchy don't likes towards a target of their choosing. And this is repeated all day every day until people have seen it so often that they think it true and was always the problem. I'm a 100% sure this was tested before in so called focus-groups with the same audience to know excatly which buttons you need to push in order to achieve that. It's one of the highly sofisticated ways of manipulation psychology has to offer. The only thing which resembles this would be subconcious messages which never really worked, but this thing on Fox it almost as good but works. And people don't realize this. The longer they watch this the more their opinion is "formed" in the way the channel wants. I'm actually now at the point that this type of TV should be banned as a threat to national security. It's influencing the Free Will of people subtle but noticeable.

  207. How to solve it: The Truth needs more protection. That's the short term solution.

How to check statements for truth. How to detect lies. And so on.

  211.  @smcdonald9991  I agree. Humans usually prefer comfortable lies over cold hard truths. However lies have the unfortunate tendency to never deliver (since they are not reality) and falling apart over time. And let's be honest noone really likes being lied to not even Trump supporters. They all think (for now) Trump, Fox, Newsmax and the Republicans are telling the truth and the rest of society is lying. The only reason why people watch certain Social Media channels, Fox and Co. is because they constantly telling them not to watch CNN and Co and because their channel are telling them what they like to hear (comfortable lies instead of hard truths). And people never ask or think about why.

  214. Maybe a model of mine helps. Until some years ago I saw politics as a half-circle or a line with left and right. But I found that model inadequat and changed it. Now for me politics is a circle with Freedom/Democracy at the Top and Control/Autocracy at the bottom. Starting on the top you can go left or go right on the circle but the more you move on the circle the more you move to the bottom and evtually you end up in the same place down below no matter if you move via the left or the right side. According to this model Dictatorship-Mode Communism and Facism are actually close neighbours and check the society of those political system from history, they are very much alike.

Russia was communistic encomically and politically until the Cold War ended but that was 30 years ago. China calls itself "communistic" but since the 90'ties the country adopted capitalist policies and turned into a One-Party Capitalistic Autocracy there is nothing left of Mao's communism. Admittingly the current leader Xi Jingping comes from the more communistic wing of the party more aligned to Mao and even tries to push to go back to Mao-Era more these days, but ironically what they actually do is moving even more to Facism or a distorted form of Stalinism. Are Russia's or China's government any good? Hell no! They have a ton of problems and only maintaining power and control over the people by censorship, massive propaganda, violence and bullying and choke on corruption.

  228. Because now the government did confirm the intelligence. Trump obviously never allowed this to happen under his own administration. And without governments permission intelligence services cannot release anything. This is maybe something Biden should change. Something which makes sure that national security threats can be made public without the presidents approval if maybe some kind of bi-partisan commission is deciding this ... in worst case even against the presidents wishes.

And if the IRS would get the money to find these cheaters who havn't payed at all especially among the 1%. It's rumored there are over hundred billion in evaded taxes each year.

If people would do that they probably would be appaled how their own representatives voted against their voters interests. It's labeled "Republican" and they vote it no matter what's in it. But there are even some Democrats who should be hold to same checks and proved to be establishment almost Republican in how they vote for policies.

  243.  @july8xx  Actually now that they have the financial market they don't really care about old-school economics anymore. Too slow for them, to hard to manipulate, too low profit margin.

  245. I've learned recently on a radio-phone in called LBC in Britain that Canabis is available in so many different variations with varying degrees of THC content that prohibiting canabis in total is more or less the same as prohibiting all kinds of alcohol from beer, over wine to spirits, whiskey, up to the real strong stuff like Absinthe. And all is prohibited because of the existence of Absinthe. So the argumentation is: When people can control their consumation on alcohl to for example only drink beer people can do the same for canabis products. I don't smoke (or drink for that matter) but this explained the idea very well for me.

  254. The irony: The other side is thinking this too, but was told Biden and the left are the problem while being talked into a frenzy of fear, anger and hate. And in this wave of emotions and the wish to protect America they destroy the very thing they want to protect and betray the principles America was founded on ... even Hollywood could not write a better drama.

  255. The problem is that people have opinions on things they not really understand. The opinion was created because someone told them to fear but they don't know why or of it's even justified. We need to define and understand different terms and concepts to have any meaningful debate. Capitalism - Market Economy - Planning Economy - Social - Socialism - Socialist - Communist - Communism If you know what these terms are and mean we can make a reasonable debate about what is best for you and best for us.

And vote in the primaries ... only in the primaries you can choose between more of the same or real change.

Just take away this ladies pipes in her home and ask her again if pipes and water are infrastructure. Take away her internet and ask her again if this is infrastructure. Take away her electrical power and ask her again if this is infrastructure. Suggest to her she can have the pipes back but only if she takes the lead-variation. Furthermore. Tell her her walls and ceilings in her home and workplace are going to be insulated with asbestos and if she is willing to continue to work and live there (and ask her if her healtcare plan includes cancer).

  261. You know in Europe the "libs" (the Neo-Liberals) are not leftists, they are centrists almst right, people standing for bussiness and self-employed people so actually more what the "Republicans" are. Liberals are actually that what Republicans are. They want low regulations, lean state, low state influence and minimum taxes. That's EXACTLY what Republicans want. So re-align your political compass and check what you say. "Liberals" are not what you want. Their goal is to cheat on workers, consumers, customers, taxes in order to maximize profits this is what they call "liberal" = free to do what you want (to maximize profits) = free to exploit and cheat the system without someone restricting them.

  262. I suggest you watch the video a 2nd time because you clearly got some facts wrong. Where do you think is the money the US treasury can send out come from. Mostly of blue states. Because blue states are net contributors. Meaning they have more income than they need. Red States have less income than they need and always need federal help which is coming from blue states and some rich red states like Texas or Florida.

  280. From my observations of American politics over years I noticed one thing: Missing consequences. You can apply this to almost all facets of daily and political life. Cops running around with immunity, politicans doing bad politics and still getting elected, rich people getting away with crimes or weak punishments, lying on the media without consequences, lying in campaigns without consequences, lying in congress and government without consequences, corruption barely enforced and if with weak consequences, bussiness breaking regulations without consequences, white collar crimes has barely consequences ... and when there are no consequences or only weak ones people keep doing it. Whenever humans are freed from the consequences of their actions it is exploited and begins to corrupt.

  281. If going with loaded weapons into the Capitol, overwhelming the police force and the protection force and make them retreat. Shooting, trying to destroy doors and gates to reach certain politicians and threaten them even with hanging them or kill them when found ... If that is not sedition, what is? Does it really need to succeed first to count as sedition? Would a hanged or shot VP be enough for this, a shot lawmaker?

Is it possible history is repeating itself in human life-cycle spans so every 100 years because the 3rd generation after the generation which suffered 100 years has no personal connection anymore through time? For the 2 generations before they were children and grandchildren they still had someone in the family from that era. Does humanity life in cycles? Do we never learn and always need to learn it the hard way?

  286. Trump promise them supremacy and a solution to all problems - him and a return to old glory. And people fell for it. Quite frankly almost everybody can fall for it unless you know what Trump really does. Use the opportunity to grab power but not intending to solve anything. He makes it even worse and that's intended. The more problems there are the more likely they look for him as the person to solve it. Be very very careful here this is important (!): Trumpism does not come from the poor although it sometimes looks like that. Trumpism comes from the middle-class seeing the problems in the country and getting scary they lose what they have (!). I can't point this out enough. The same mistake was done in Europe in the United Kingdom. The middle-class often wealthy enough to provide the private funding for that is fueling this! And it arises from people who have a good life but see the problems and fear losing it! That's why they pick on the foreigners and immigrants. That's why they pick on the poor (if they get worse I get better) because they look for reason. And that's why Trump has an easy game because THEY are wealthy and can pay him to protect them for it ... or so he says. Please don't make the wrong assumptions here, or we are all doomed no matter if you are in America or Europe because the same is developing there as well.

  287. People blame Biden for Inflation while the Corporations doing this to increase their profits. (Prove: Corporations have higher Profit meaning the costs have not increased meaning they exploit the market. People blame Biden for the higher gas prices. While Biden has no control over the OPEC which increased their prices to offset losses on income in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. People blame Biden for Shortage of Goods, Trade Problems and Higher Prices. But the problem comes from greedy See-Transport Corporations who created an artifically bottleneck on the logistics chain. People blame Biden for not Delivering on his agenda and worse for not even trying. See Build Back Better Bill. Problem: Corporate Democrats are bribed by Corporations to pass as little as possible at best nothing because everything more could lead to increase in Corporation Tax and lower profit margins for the Corporations. People blame Biden for leaving Afghanistan while Trump negotiated this and not complying would have meant war with the Taliban and the US staying in Afghanistan. People blame Biden for opening up new Oil-Fields for investors. But Biden is not at fault here, Trump made this deal Biden is now legally bound to do them but the media is blaming him. People blame Biden for making an Open-Border Policy to Mexico. But in reality he didn't changed a law of Trump although people on the left want him to. Result: The Right don't like him because of a lie, the left don't like him because he did not change anything since Trump. The list goes on and on.

  288. Don't underestimate the opportunity. For Chinese People "face" and money are two of the most important topics. And the absence of the US because of the Uguire-topics, the lack of Human Rights, Democratical Principals, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press and the Rule of Law would be major embarassement maybe even insult for the CCP in view of the hole world. They will distort the olympics to a major propaganda event for the Chinese Government that is absolutely sure. To show the world how "advanced" how "good" they are. The Chinese Government is paying billions every year in Softpower measures around the globe to actively influence the worlds opinion about the Chinese Government (they will say about China, but this is only about the government not the people). And they will place their glory and prestige AND power over the intent and spirit of this event. In a way they even corrupt the purpose of this event: Peaceful, equal, open and fair competition. [Open (T...wan?), Fair competition? (IP Theft, Destruction of the Biosphere for Profit, Exploitation of humans and nature for profit) Don't make me laught.] The more I think about it, the more the world has the duty to not take part not with diplomats and not with athlets. Western Democracies would like to continue to trade and cooperate with China but only under one condition: That China starts following the rules the rest of the world operates under and stop cheating for profit. At least Human Rights, the Uigure-issue and the Rule of Law should be uphold. Asking for Democracy might be too much at this point. It might be good for the Chinese People but never for the Chinese Government as it would end their grip on the people.

  299. Maybe you should re-read how Hitler get into power in the 1930'ties. There are some similarities and noone could ever imagine before what would happen later. If you want advice. Start to see Trump as a child and treat him like that. Noone really recognises this but most of his popularity comes from exactly this without people noticing or only unconciously. Ask geriatic experts (experts for old people) they will confirm you that old people mentally start turning into children at some point and the best way is to start treating them like that again. It turns out they even like it. That's why Trump admires strong-arm/authoritarian political figures like Putin, Erdogan like some fathers would be to his kids. However the danger is if you treat someone like that as an adult or if you give him to much power. Now add one element to it: Trump is a spoiled brat, pampered all his life. What happens when you have a child like that? The funny thing is, the evidence is right before us, the way he speaks, thinks, deals with rivals, deal with friends, ex-friends and experts telling him what to do and like he deals with problems is exactly that of a child. Look closer and you will find the child in all of it. Hitler was also a child but was not recognised or treated as such with devestating results. You should ask youself do you want the most powerful man in America, maybe even in the world, who is actually a child, having so much power without any feeling for responsibility? And there is another danger. This mental condition makes him prone to outside manipulation especially from people in his personal surroundings. I especially think about e.g. Kushner here a psychopath if I have ever seen one but I bet there is a long line of people trying to manipulate him in their favor. If I were Biden I would strongly react to Trump. Confront him. Try to intimidate him. Acting like a adult would with a naughty child. This would not only help with Trump, but also with his supporters because they suffer from a similar problem being childs needing strong leadership and a direction. They think Trump is this, but don't recognize that he turned into a kid already. Their subconcious have recognized this that's why he gets extra sympathy because their subconcious tells them "he is just a kid". A deadly combination (political speaking).

  301. * You cannot convince them with facts or reason. Don't even try, it's making it worse. * You may be able to connect with emotions but only if they really like or even love you. Show them how you worry for them, how their position is affecting you emotionally. And what might happen to your relation with them when this continues. * If can try to cut off those people from political media for 10 to 14 days ... everything. Maybe a shared holiday or a deal with them (if you shut off your phone and computer for 2 weeks I will xyz) or something. But they need a break and come down from their angry level and eventually even addiction to news and anger which media especially Fox and Co is maintaining. Eventually their anger-level subside enough so that their reasoning sets in again and you can talk with them ... carefully. In best case they reflect and look back and start feeling shame for before. * I don't recommend it, but if you really want to talk to them based on facts, reasoning and logic than don't push it. Explain to them how you got to your personal opinion you now have. Explain/Show/Demonstrate how and from where you got your opinion so they can check this and go the same way if they want. Don't force anything on them, they must come to the conclusion on their own. So make it easier for them to find their way but don't push them or force them or even present them only with the final conclusion without the way there or this fails and may push them even further away because they think you want to manipulate them.

  304.  @smcdonald9991  The first step to make anything better and/or getting anything done is to acknowledge that there is a problem. A lot of people do anything including lying to others (which is actually lying to yourself) to convince you that there is no problem. And why: Without a problem there is no reason to need to think about it or finding a solution and actually start doing something. So in the end it's a form of lazyness. A wish to stay passive. But nothing will get ever better with this approach and nothing will get ever done. For that you need to have courage and face reality.

And there are still crazy people like MTG, Cancun Cruz, DeSantis, etc. And the things happening in Florida, Georgia, Arizona let outsiders look more cautious on the US if the return to old values like honesty, decency and integrity with the Biden-Administration holds or not.
    2
  310. True. Everything which they disagree with is labeled "fake". They lost the ability (or perhaps never had) to distinguish fact from opinion. And noone told them lies are only applicable on facts.
    2
  311. Indeed. Maga has won. And now for 4 years you will hear the consequences of that and an occassional "we told you so".
    2
  312. Once you learn to devalue other people you can devalue anyone whenever you feel the need to even people close to you.
    2
  313. This is why the Republicans will in the end drop Trump as soon as they not get too burned by their voters and go with Biden because their capital income will more like increase and taxes will not really change for them as the rich deciding the tax-rules for rich in the Senate not even if Democrats having half of the seats because there are a lot of Wannebe-Republicans in the Senate so called Establishment-Democrats.

  314. Your assumption is that NATO ever planned to invade Russia. A ridiculous idea for multiple reasons. 1) Western Nations no longer use military conquest to expand territory 2) NATO is defensive only 3) Russia is a Tier 1 military nation 4) Russia is also a Nuclear Power
    2
  315.  @anonagain  You have to understand Putin. He said himself decades ago that "Ukraine is not a real country". Add to this Putin's regret of the end of the Sovjet Union and his ambitions to revive Russian Imperialism. Than add to this that Ukraine was a Free, Independant, Democracy and more importantly Prospering Democracy right on his front doorstep telling all Russians: "See the gras is greener there" and you have a more realistic picture why Putin needed to do something. All those arguments and lies about NATO and "Denazification" and Buffer-States is bullshit. Cheap excuses for Putin to allow him to justify an invasion and ensure in case it fails that Ukraine never becomes NATO member which makes a later invasion almost impossible for him. Ukraine never asked to be NATO member until Putin invaded and stolen Crimea. And than Donbas and now the rest of it and it will not end there Moldova will be next also not a NATO member.

  316. I disagree: It is the fault of people in Texas! They voted for the Repulicans in state government/administration. Those people who ruined the electric grid by shouting "free market" and "less regulating" and with that allowed the electric companies to go cheap and unrealiable.
    2
  317. It's actually dangerous. Human brains are not made to hold contradicting thoughts at the same time. It leads to a condition called cognitive dissonance. It feels like "thinking without keeping a proper footing". Cognitive dissonance is the first step to mental issues. It errodes trust in reality and your own senses and ultimativly clinical insanity. EDIT: This is why most humans naturally try to avoid these and react avoiding, rejecting or even aggressive if facts are presented to them which threatens their choosen idea/view in their heads because it makes them more insecure and unsure again. The alternative is to assume you "might be wrong" and "don't know all". This is what we call "being open minded" or even "humility". It allows you easier to adopt a new view when the facts change or your hear something new or as here ... detecting a contradiction. And exactly THIS is missing with a lot of Right-Winger. They are so sure of themselves and not allow even themselves to challenge them. Or as Shakespear formulated it "This above all: to thine own self be true"
    2
  318. They are all hypocrites and so selfish they would never not help themselves. Trump got his vaccine even before Biden AND tried to keep it secret because what he says and his actions are completly opposit.
    2
  319. He is not the only one. Half the Democrat Party thinking they can stick to the status quo and let the donations flow as usual while facing potentially the last period of democracy.
    2
  320. And the next topic you can talk about is fracking and how much the state subsidize fracking in order to make it financially viable. The US energy production, the wish for energy independance and the wish for cheap gas prizes has a high impact on environment and long term effects for the next 50 years or more. And I don't even talk about climate change here just about water pollution, desertification and such things.

  321. It's real name is "Fox Opinions".

  322. Ever noticed that the people not using the word "patriotic" are the real patriots (thats called modesty) and the more often someone needs to use the word the less patriotic they actually are.
    2
  323. Because capitalists still think lefties are nuts despite evidence for the contrary.
    2
  324.  @snc0023  You think incumbency is helping? You mean like Trump in 2020?
    2
  325. Motivate people to vote. The only reason why Republicans often win is because the people who could change that don't go voting because they have been told "it will not make a difference" but this is a trick and a lie. The only real power average people in the country have is doing this little cross every now and than. If you don't vote you allow others to decide over the future.

  326. So she is campaigning on the promise of beginning political prosecutions and witchhunting like Stalin and Hitler? And I thought she is against this.

  327. I wonder what Trump will say when Putin takes Trumps Hotel in Moscow.

  328. May the 4th be with you.

  329. Having more choice is good. This is what is missing in the US ... more than 2 choices.

  330. The world is mildly entertained and somewhat confused at Americans caring about "woke" beverages and wondering what Americans prioritize these days.
    2
  331. In a Democracy the majority decides. 1) Bills are passed in the House with a simple majority 2) Bills are passed in Senate suddenly only with a 60 seat support However 2 only works when the party has either 60 or more seats or when people acting reasonible in the minority and put country before party and actually vote for it. If you don't like this, make better policies so more people vote you. ... Or Change the system of lawmaking meaning the Senate-part which is so obviously undemocratic when a single senator from a single state can block everything.
    2
  332. Funny I noticed something in the comments. Contrary to all the other video comment sections I saw in the last 5 days they no longer attacking the message but the messenger (Cenk) which means Cenks arguments were pretty good but they try to find a way to dismiss them.
    2
  333. Trump has one of the richest mans and biggest globalist on the planet next to him and he even put him in government and you really think this will help the average American?
    2
  334. Trump and his war against wind mills. And all because of a disagreement about view and golf on his resort in Scotland. Since then Trump is doing his own little play called Don Quixote vs. windmills.
    2
  335. It will fail and backfire. It will fail because the people listening to this are easily bored when everyone is agreeing with them. It will backfire because it will be so terrible in content, that the government is forced to introduce regulation for ALL social media plattforms not only this new plattforms. I could even imagine that some countries on the world ban it completly and/or sue the provider for the content there if they completly go overboard. I actually don't mind, it's time social media gets regulation it was wild west until now. The Scandals regarding misinformation especially facebook and targetted political advertisement also used to manipulate elections by manipulating the voters shown how dangerous this wild wild west for democracies actually can be.

  336. Callers need to learn what a question is. 2/3 of them just stating opinion and hoped for a confirmation.

  337. Go to wikipedia and start reading a bit. You embarrass yourself!
    2
  338. Doing that to themselves in one thing, but making others do it is coersion. And NO this is not a normal protest. They should get a fine for that and when they try again a courtcase. Wearing masks is not taking away any freedoms, besides the freedom of feeling a bit silly maybe it's a measure to be on the safe side. If just one kid gets Covid because of them they should see a prison from the inside for assault.

  339. Even 74 mio are a minority, when the majority is 80 mio.
    2
  340. It's not loyalty Trump wants it's devotion (blind love/support). Loyalty would include that you help that person when the person is about to make a mistake, disagreeing once in while maybe even prevent some actions but Trump wants none of that just blind obediance and devotion.

  341. See this touches the core here because they see bullying as strength.

  343. Fake candidates or bribes (or both). This is criminal and anti-democratic and highly corrupt. She should lose the right to run for officer ever again and immediatly be dispelled.
    2
  344. The problem are false positives and denunciation.
    2
  345. There was a fair amount of misinformation from the guy on the right. Why is it Davids jobs to fight them. The host could and should fact-check it and say "no budy not here not now".

  346. Golf, Youtube, Twitter, Golf, Youtube, Twitter, Golf, etc. I mean it's almost like we have his playlist from yesterday. One Twitter Message each.
    2
  347. If proven correct with solid evidence this could be the biggest scandal in American history. Especially considering that a hostile takeover and dismantling of the justice system, legislature, law enforcement and government is taking place right now. Would also make a hell of a Hollywood movie.
    2
  348. Why Do people believe a good footballplayer makes a good politician? If you need surgery would you go to car mechanic? Or would you discuss your financial planning with a doctor? Or let's reverse it: Would you want Trump to play football quarterback? [fascinating material for comedy aka "If Trump would be a quarterback then ..."]

  350. Let's just wait and see shall we. And I hope you change your mind about Trump Maga and the GOP over the next 4 years. Try to keep an open mind please.
    2
  351. You could also argue it removes all filters and limits we put on ourselves about what we think.
    2
  352. 3 years is a long time in politics ... a very long time
    2
  353. I find it insulting to expect me to think Biden is fit to serve for another 4 years. Compare 2012 with 2020 and 2024 the difference is devestating.
    2
  354.  @truth4004  And you deny reality out of fear about Trump and allow this emotion to control your better judgement.
    2
  355. "Trump back in office" in august ... yeah right. An office in state penitentiary maybe as things are developing.
    2
  356. Well the Republicans can start working for the wide public again instead of their wealthy donors. Win by police again as it was before the 80'ties. More people happy means more people voting them fair and square and exactly like Democrats. It's not that Democrats had all the time an advantage. Democrats always fought an uphill battle against Republicans on the Hill (litterally).

  357. For some reason Star Wars IX comes to mind: "Hello? I want to talk to General Hux. .... Hux? .... Okay I wait."

  359. David talked so much about this topic it has become boring. Hunter was bad. Trial him. Convict him. Punish him. As it should be. But you better have solid evidence about any criminality about Joe Biden and there isn't just any. They looking for 4 years now and the evidence is always "on the horizon". Without it it is a political witchhunt against Joe Biden. And might I remind you. Even if there is. And it is solid evidence. And it is enough for an impeachment. And it goes through the Senate somehow. You only making Kamala Harris the first female president of the United States.
    2
  360. Some maybe because we have still some compassion left for those people who just want to build a new life in America. Your heart is stone cold. There is only a growing empty hole which is consuming you slowly.
    2
  361. Fair enough: But would you also vote for another Democrat? Does it have to be Biden and noone else?
    2
  362. Biden as well. He is as much against illegal immigration as you are. And he is not opening any gates as the Republicans are saying. The basic procedure at the border has not changed from Trump to Biden since Biden is only 6 weeks in. He changed a couple orders from Trump by executive order but the hole system from Trump is still in place and need Congress to be changed or the Supreme Court can overturn it any time.
    2
  363. Owning property in Russia would you immediatly get the label "Commie" or "Rusky" or even "Spy/Traitor" in times of McCarthy.

  364. Ask her how much money she gets for this. Apparently Morality is at an all time low.
    2
  365. Imagine if Soros had made an independent super-department under Biden and broken into the US treasury and IRS like Musk has. Shutdown government programs, fire 30,000 federal workers and vets and threaten to cut or end social security, medicare and medicaid. The right-wing would go amok by now good that the left is much more tempered and reasonable.
    2
  366. Come on. They were 20 years (over 235 months) there. What difference does 4 months make? You got what you wanted. At the beginning of this week you ranted that Biden will never bring them back. And now that he does you still not satisfied?!
    2
  367. Have you noticed that noone from the right is mentioning this decission was unanimous. The judge even ask everyone individually in front of the camera. If anyone of them would have had objections they had a chance to say otherwise.
    2
  368. He probably is not a single-parent having to grow up a child alone. And never needs to work as blue-collar worker somewhere he just sits at home or office once in a while.

  369. In the absence of truth or trust only reality can change people's mind. And it will but it will also cause a lot of avoidable suffering. I hate that about humanity. That we always wait until the very last moment one step away from the abyss before we find our better selves and change our mind. And often enough it is too late even for that.
    2
  370. I guess not having personal property in the country you talking with is helping with that.
    2
  371. Even that is a defense of the lies ... or better a defense against admitting to be wrong.
    2
  372. I'm not supporting this idea. It's shortsighted and ignorant. But to be fair: Ask the Indians. No wonder they think that. THEY DONE IT TO THEM. I don't know what this is. Maybe fear of history repeating itself?
    2
  373. We will apologize of course if we were wrong. Can you say the same?
    2
  374. I hope it's enough to end private gun ownership in the United States. It caused enough problems in the last 200 years.

  375. No need for larger debt making. Just tax the upper 5% like the other 95%. It cannot be that a billionaire only pays 7% income tax while everyone else pays more than twice as much.
    2
  376. Same is true for the guest who apparently not done it either.
    2
  377. At least Trump is robbing the morons who still trust him. I pitty them but I also not lose any tears over it. We tried to warn them for years they wouldn't listen. I can only hope the next 4 years of living in Trumps America will change their mind about him.
    2
  378. David is absolute correct: Under Biden America drilled more oil than ever in American history and more oil than any other country on the planet. That's not opinion, just counting. So do you feel "energy independent" already? Because if not the problem must be something else.
    2
  379.  @pickledellies  That's rubbish. You vote a party not because they are left or right you vote them for their policies. If a right-wing would make sensible policies I had no problems voting them. And I also have no hesitency to not vote left when they mess things up. If you blindly vote because you "feel" you are "ideological" more inclined to them you make yourself hostage to them. That's wrong in so many ways. Vote by policy, not by ideology.

  384. Oh lovely she brings up the blackmail which is running in the background and we all avoid to talk about: Vote Biden ... or otherwise. What Do you think voters feel who are forced to vote Biden? Don't you think some of them say eff you and vote the other guy in protest?
    2
  385. The only way to get back to the 50's is to vote Progressive from now on. What America ripped apart since the 70's are drugs and the worse and worse income inquality especially starting in the 80's and reaching it's high this and last year actually. America is of all countries on this planet the worst regarding Income Inequality. Twice as bad as the UK, 4 times as Central Europe and 8 times as Scandinavia. Result: The richest and poorest people in all western countries live in the same country, state and even region sometimes only a couple blocks apart.
    2
  386. Not quite. Europe is peaking currently that's why most of the countries there are in their 2nd or 3rd lockdown now or a lightweight variation of it. You must keep in mind it takes 2 weeks before a lockdown begins to affect the numbers. However if this continues unhinged in the US the situation will get out of control and the hospital begin to get overwhelmed to breaking point. That's when also people not having Corona starts to die because they don't get their treatments or emergency operations any longer.
    2
  387. The EU actually doing pretty well on the manufacturing import/export thing. Maybe a good case study what America can make better to bring manufacturing back. Their comprehrensive free trade deals demand to adhere to Single Market rules regarding product quality, worker protections, fair wages, environmental standards (now also climate gas emission limits), rules of origins, and soon also fair taxation in the country of origin. This is called the "Brussels effect" the EU is practically making the world better by requiring same rules when you want access to the richest and largest market on the planet. This diminishes the cost-advantage you have by manufacturing in a low-regulation/low-wage country to the point that companies consider moving the manufacturing back into the EU because it is cost-wise almost equal but you have less paperwork and lower transport costs and modern infrastructure. It's like an encouragement to invest in the EU by creating a level playingfield. It's also the reason why there is no Free Trade Deal between the EU and America, because America is not willing to introduce these EU standards / minimum regulations. And it would ruin the "buy cheap somewhere else" model.

  388. Hi loser. Only Trump and the 1% win here.
    2
  389. Biden was old and slow granted and he should not have run in 2020 but not dement and certainly not insane.
    2
  390. Solution? I don't want a stubborn "Do as I say" nor an annointment. I want a small piece of democracy left in this primary by an open convention. And if Biden thinks he still has a chance he can make his point there too. I want the convention to allow challengers to make their case, I want the convention to vote a nominee for the good of the country (not party or donors) and I want unity at the end and focus on Trump.
    2
  391.  @nostrum6410  Trump instead declared war within the country against Americans. And next time inform yourself better who and why Biden is actually allowing Air-Strikes. He is defending American Troops. Do you want to tell me you are against them defending themselves?
    2
  392. Fox often have different opinion and everyone can have one, but allowing someone on the show and clearly directly plainly lying, e.g. HR1 is the "For-The-Politicians"-act not the "For-The-People"-act without any corrections is not okay. And this was the just smallest lie here. Fox of course swears it's innocence because it was not them who told the lie but a guest. But they didn't correct it and allow it to air unhinged. This should be suppressed by a court. 2nd degree lying or something. They now used this tricks a couple of times to avoid a court case.

  393.  @laurab7215  Most of his viewers trust him implicitly. They take everyone what he says for true without checking it or even apply a healthy amount of mistrust.

  395. Collusion of politicians with members of the Russian Oligarchy are not new. The UK released a part of it's own issues between UK politicians and officials and Russia a year ago. A report the current Primeminister Johnson like Trump with the Mueller-Report tried to block and burry twice but due to a little trick by very clever people who place country before career was released anyway. The public unredacted version of this report is only mentioning one person explicit name "Aaron Banks" who is I'm sure not completly unknown in the US. The other names are in the unrelease part of the report which is still classified.

    2
  399. There are a lot of people among those 59% who cannot even write "Election" without spelling mistakes. So I prefer the other 41% to a degree. Stop evaluating people after their color evaluate each one individually. And there are much more decent and hard working people than in the 59%.
    2
  400. The technical term for the debate thing is "false equivalence". In simpler terms it is "balance gone wrong" and is used to introduce a wild theory to give it more plattform. If 999 scientists say yes and 1 says no there cannot be a balance at 50%. It helps a wild outliar to appear as equal and valid when it should be dropped.
    2
  401. So who will certify the election 2024? Mike Johnson? Why Do I get vibes of a retry of Jan-06 fake elector scheme?
    2
  402. Trump does all the unpopular stuff and none of the popular stuff. Kind of like an Anti-Populist. And the stuff he does in the most incompetent way possible often having the opposit effect of what was intended.

  403. Unfortunatly the people have a short memory. And if "Republican" is written on the box their voters never look inside and buy it no matter how expensive it is for them ... even if it turns out the box is empty or full of s...t.

  410. America has had capitalism for 230 years and Trickle-Down-Economics for 45 years. How much longer do you want to pretend this works?
    2
  411. It was better than now ... but this was also before Covid so you cannot really compare those two. And I can remember even back then not everything was as good as you describe it. In fact America was directly before a recession caused by 2 years of Trump.
    2
  412. US citizens trust in government is the least among all modern democracies I noticed of all major modern democracies the US has the least trust on the government. People in the US always assume the worst motives from the government. That's why they want to keep their guns, that's why they mistrust any actions concering the wider public even if it's in order to protect people from a pandemic or other threats and that's why they want the government to be small and not involving ("regulating"). In other countries this is totally different. Scandinavia, Taiwan, South-Korea, Japan, Lituania and Germany for example show an implicit trust to what the government is asking the citizens to do. And sometimes this mean even things people may not like but which are necessary. Sure this also has cultural reasons and for sure historical background but the baseline is, the better the government the more trusted it is. And here is where I come back to the US. Because US Citizens have more than enough reason to mistrust the government in the US. They give them constantly reason for this, especially during Republicans presidencies. There is corruption, greed and opportunism in all areas. Member of Congress seem to vote differently than what they say and actually vote even against the public interest. Add to this Insider trade, Bribery ... I mean "Donations" and in-party fighting. And the country is stagnating in the status quo of corporate exploitating not matter of Democrats or Republicans are in power and hardly anything ever changes. So this becomes a self-sustaining cycle. Bad Government -> No Trust -> Less Government -> Even worse government rinse and repeat.

  413. The real name of this is: Social-Democracy

  414. Replaced by Fox and Newsmax and Right-wing social media. They do the thinking for them.

  415. Assuming this is actually true: Why are such facts not shared on MSM? When people begin to understand the full background they can begin to see the manipulation done to them and for what reasons.
    2
  416. That's not even a policy. That's a fear-making topic. They don't even have a solution for it because they don't want to. If the problem would go away there is no reason to vote them. So they promise and promise and promise but never intending to solve anything really.

  417.  @peaceandllov  I asked if you would give this school your kids everyday. This is a simple yes or no question. And please be honest you will not lose your Maga membership by saying no.

  418.  @sylviadeklerk6268  Unfortunatly voters have the memory of fruit fly and the behaviour of moths to a flame.
    2
  419. In the absence of trust and knowledge people believe what they like and don't believe what they don't like. A vicious cycle because truth is more often stuff you probably don't like. And reality (truth) doesn't care what you believe if you go against it you lose.
    2
  420. An american EU? Maybe between Canada and Mexico, but not with US they will never be willing to give up any sovereignity. It would be a perversion of the EU-model, a "peaceful" takeover by the US. Actually the model the UK tried to implement but the EU not cooperated. I have a simple test for this: Ask any american if he/she would be willing to accept that some regulations (laws) are influenced if not even made by Mexicans, or Canadians for that matter. Because that would be the requirement to accept that you are just one voice in a chorus.
    2
  421. I was wondering about Trumps hand gestures lately because I see them so often. They remind me of catholic priests. It is possible Trump was so fascinated by it in his youth that this somehow was engraved into his psyche and later unconsiously adopted in public speeches to give it more gravitas?
    2
  422. What is that? Biden Derangement Syndrome? He didn't ran. He is ending his career and retires. Congrats you won. Trump and Hegseth are your prize.

  423. Ranked choice voting is only a workaround for a real Proportional Voting System and still not 100% transfer how the people vote to how the parliament should look like.

  424. I disagree. Jan-06 was a failed violent Coup-Attempt directly on the center of Democracy to overturn an election-outcome the Wrong-Wing didn't liked.

  425. The number of Flags you have or the number how often you listen or play the national anthem does not define your patriotism. Arguably the more you have of that the less you are.

  426. Yes. To save democracy in this country.

  427. I wonder what this host thought during this interview. He must have been fuming hearing this and in that tone and prevented by Fox to speak his mind. Besides that I would remark. John F. Kennedy would rotate in this grave.
    2
  428. Is it possible all this comes down to hating to admit being conned and being wrong? It it possible all this is just because humans don't like that? And how long you keep up the resistance to do that before finally giving up and simply say "I was wrong."
    2
  429. They did not get a fair chance. MSM and DNC suppressing it as much as they can.

  430. It doesn't sit well with me when people say "why don't you talk about Trump instead". People pretending America wouldn't do that for the last 10 years. This year is particular bad with Trump occupying 50% of all news. Do you think if the polls are still 50-50 after this much coverage there is a real last minute change towards Biden?
    2
  431. Trump: "Good boy. You get an extra 1,000$ for saying that. [quite] Maybe."
    2
  432. The problem is at some point you reached the bottom of what's possible. And if you continue to cut down spending it leads to more criminality, more healthcare issues, more decaying infrastructure, and and and basically the whole society is starting to fall apart and people notice and want a change and they take whoever promise improvements. But last time they fall for Trump who only made it worse so now the left has a chance ... and using it.
    2
  433. Argueably the US first needs 50 years of Democrat leadership before it's ready for that.
    2
  434. Not loyalty, devotion and obediance. Loyalty includes telling you when you make a mistake to protect you from it, but Trump doesn't want to hear it. He sees it as disloyalty if not even betryal disagreeing with him. Hence this is not loyalty but devotion.
    2
  435. Biden was old and slow but not dement or insane. Trump is both.
    2
  436. Sometimes I wonder if the GOP makes life in red states intentionally worse for normal people so the smart ones move to blue states and they can keep their power in the Red State. And the superich only need some peasants to clean their stuff and serve them food. The last thing superich need are smart guys who tell everyone how bad they are.
    2
  437. Regarding clickbait - A word of warning. I started to actively ignore videos where I spot obvious clickbait title even from progressive channels like yours or BTC's. You both overused this technique over the last 2 years and I fallen for it 2 or 3 times. I just tell Youtube "ignore video". As a result your channel is much less often suggested to me even being a subscriber and watching for over 4 years.
    2
  438. Simpler. He wants the viewer to get angry about something even if unfounded or ridiculous. Angry people are easier to manipulate. Angry people are less reasonable. And Tucker ensures there is always something to get angry over.
    2
  439. Prove it by example ... or it didn't happen.
    2
  440. Yeah. "The Chosen Race" and "Purity of Blood" is not far at this point.
    2
  441. They are not really stupid, but they allow Fox and Tucker to do the thinking for them.
    2
  442. Keep angering Denmark. There is already a NATO base in Greenland. Perhaps he wants it closed by Denmark out of anger. I wonder which countries would love that?
    2
  443. Why not? Should voters not have the chance to say if they want to keep the candidate or have a new one?
    2
  444. I can see only a sorry loser who hate that even more Democrats pop up. Washington D.C. is not a nation of it's own. London is also not a nation of it's own. It's part of England and votes with England. The Vatican is indeed a Nation on it's own from the Catholic Church. Rome however is not. All European capital cities are either their own federal state or part of a state around them. If it's federal at all not all are Republics. You are a sore Republican who see Republican influences further diminished by giving a large part of the population who was ignored for so long a voice and a vote.
    2
  445. Question: Why does the US think it is okay, that the state knows who you usually vote for? I mean this information is used for targetted advertisement e.g. on Facebook or Neighbourhoods, it can be used for Gerrymandering and other purposes. In most countries in Europe this is a private information noone especially not the government get this info.
    2
  446. Rubbish! The super-rich added 1 trillion dollar to their wealth right in the pandemic. It's only a question who and what you tax but the rule should always be: Tax the people who hardly feel it anyway and take the hit without problems.
    2
  447. Regarding the amount of money spend - Don't forget the number being thrown around are over 8 years. The US has yearly expenses of 4,400,000,000 $ (data from 2019). If you multiply that by 8 years and incorporate that better infrastructure leads to more jobs and more bussiness than you could even make an argument it's still too little. Besides Biden is not planning to make more debt, but to tax fair again.
    2
  448. You sure? People vote against Trump but not against another Republican.
    2
  449. He has 25 years of experience in politics, call it learning by doing but when you do this over a decade you get fine nose for how things develop. And reality not always works like they tech in school.
    2
  450. I can understand why. It would look really suspicious to just idly sitting around while real white collar crimes are happening. So they pretend to be busy with this 21st century witchhunting.
    2
  451. Wow he talks about healthcare, medicare and drug-prices (all things Republicans want to make more expensive or eat least not change) and in the next part of the sentence talk about "estate rates" something which have nothing to do with it. Fox must really take it's viewers for gullible fools. And the worst: They take it!
    2
  452. There is one thing more bad than lying. Lying and later being found out about lying. Noone ever trusts you again even if you are telling the truth.
    2
  453. First because his lawyer argued he was president. And now because his lawyer argues he is no longer president.
    2
  454. Narcissists have a consistent pattern on this. They do something called "testing the waters". They try something and check if it works or if there is resistance or consequences for them. And if not they go further next and try again.
    2
  455. Sometimes I really wished you could do all what the right wing wants to do and let it simmer for 50 years (probably less with the serious issues with it) and ask them after it how they like it. Maybe Hollywood can pick up on that idea ... at least until we invent the Holodeck.
    2
  456. In other words it pointless to even suggest bi-partisonship because Republicans have become a party of Nay-Sayers no matter what.
    2
  457. 3 trillion more debt is a very conservatives estimate. I heard often 11 bn sometimes even 19 bn over the next 10 years. America simply cannot affort so much debt. The yearly interest payments are already at 883 bn/year for the existing debt.
    2
  458. When you see the end of Bin Laden and his organisation as a success yes. Wasn't that the original purpose after 9/11?
    2
  459. Than give me an example for something good the GOP has done. And I mean something substancial what is actually helping Americans not this bs hatred stuff about trans or woke or DEI noone is interested in anyway. The reason why so often the bad stuff of the right is on the program is because they do new sh1t every single day.
    2
  460. They never actually define it. Wouldn't that be borders you don't recognise. Europe has this in the Schengen area. You can drive on a road or highway and suddenly cross from Germany into the Netherlands or France or Austria and you don't notice it. Best case you notice the language and color of the signs changes telling you you are somewhere else now. But noone ever asked for that in America and even the EU has "normal" borders to the outside.
    2
  461.  @SSubersive  Yes indeed. The border of american states to each other. These are real open borders. When there is practically not much more than a welcome in sign.
    2
  462. I think one puzzle piece should be added to complete the picture. Drilling oil in the US is a little more expensive than elsewhere because of terrain, type of deposits, cost per workhour, etc. If the world market prices was too low drilling was not profitable enough. The industry fought that by introducing automation. 61% of the workers lost their jobs, not because of less drilling or "green energy" but simply because they were made redundant for profit.
    2
  463.  @krimmer66  I know. Me too. I'm pretty sure Tucker in not intelligent enough to talk like this. It's scripting and you can literally see him reading from the Teleprompter showing his "I'm-stupid-face".
    2
  464. How many people in the US only have a gun because others have guns?
    2
  465. Needs a new word: "Tumber"
    2
  466. It's an universal rule that before discrimination or even violence devaluing of people always precedes. They have to so people are discouraged from empathizing on this group and to allow the buildup of anger and ultimativly hate. In an optimal world we would value every life as much as our own.
    2
  467. I observed something over the years whenever people like Trump think they use sarcasm or try to be funny they suddenly say what they really mean and add a lol to it. It's like inverse satire saying the truth to tell a lie.
    2
  468. Not always, but reviewing yourself, analysing what has happened is important to learn from your mistakes, improving yourself, make better decissions and have better strategies. It is resourceful to do that.
    2
  469. Why should Biden be president again? Just because he is not Trump? Sorry but this is not enough.
    2
  470. Harris is as much "far left" as Trump is honest.
    2
  471. Yes and no. They do when emotions are involved. This is why even well educated people fall for Trump out of emotions. But this is not unusual. We humans tend to do stupid things out of emotions. Everyone of us done it. We know something is not good for us even before we do it ... but we still do it.
    2
  472. My guess is: The little voice of the producer in his ear told him "CUT HIM OFF IMMEDIATLY! Our little house of cards is falling apart if this guy continues".
    2
  473. The last shooting which managed to cross the pond was Uvalde ... in Texas.
    2
  474. Yes this is the big tax saving lie. People are told saving tax is good. But in the end most save 100$ in tax per year but pay 3000$ in all kinds of extra costs and have absolutely not safety net when something goes wrong.
    2
  475. What I not quite understand is the concept of a right-wing jew. First all Nazis in the US are right-wing, the Nazis were themselves right-wing, all Anti-jews sentiments come to 90% from right-winger. The evangelicals control and influences huge parts of conservatism and the right-wing and they all hope for the jews to be ended by god or something so they can flourish. You sure you joined the right ^^ side?
    2
  476.  @tiffanystrand4423  I agree. Get rid of the mid-terms and make elections for everyone once every 4 years like in all other democracies on this planet.
    2
  477.  @dafttool  All nice and thanks for the sources, but I still find my simplified approach a little more ... ehm ... practical ... "ergonomic" (?)
    2
  478. Indeed the DNC used a trick to avoid a primary in Florida. They put a deadline on a registration without informing potential rivals to Joe Biden. So he ended up the only one being on the ballot hence the primary was canceled. Some states accepted registrations from Biden challengers but they called off the primary AND not given back the registration money of up to 50,000$ which is criminal in my opinion. There is something to it. It is another form of "rigging" the election by making sure there is only one candidate on the ballot.
    2
  479. Who says he is "our" guy? You need to learn that reality has often more than 2 possibilities.
    2
  480. Maybe we should not give them ideas please.
    2
  481. First thing: Do not use your old social media accounts create new ones. So the algorithm needs to learn what you like from the start. And I have a Tipp: Browser provide an anonymous mode (InPrivate Browing, Private Browsing) in this mode the Browser forget everything when you close it and it does not send any indentifications. Try to surf Social Media in Private Mode it disables all bias by default because the Social Media Platform does not know who you are anymore (as long as you don't log in).
    2
  482. I have to agree David. You doing good clips and don't need to exaggerate. And I know clickbait works for a while. But everytime I notice I got duped I trust the channels videos less and consequently tend to ignore videos. The more often I do that the less often YT suggests videos from that channel. With BTC it got so bad that I refused to watch any of his video for a while because he overused it so often and still does.
    2
  483. Not even that just anything "different" and unknown/unusual. That's why woman, gay and transsex, as well as Non-Christians are also hated. Because they are different. And our genes tell us "what's different may be dangerous". It's up to your head to control this impulse. But if you are not opening up yourself to the outside, not talk to those people, not know anything more about them how can you get ever be used to them and see that they are not a danger to you ... or maybe you don't want to stop seeing them as danger as a target for your anger you have about yourself?
    2
  484. How can you be too woke? Woke = Being aware of social injustice and being against it. How can you be "too much" of this?
    2
  485. And the real chaos has not even begun yet. Wait until his cabinett is fully established and this chaos multiplies in different departments. This term there will be no guardrails, no filters, no safeties whatever bad ideas they have will fall unhinged and raw onto America.
    2
  486. Great talk for people getting the real facts of poverty. What I'm missing is the discussion why the right peddles lies about poverty and try to shape public opinion in the way they do. What consequences it has for them when society realizes the truth about it. Understanding the motivations for this and what effects the current rhetoric has.
    2
  487. The fastest way to solve this it to force the vaccination on her and I sometimes ask myself if this would not be the best solution for this particular problem ... some people need to be pushed to move. The political correct way would be to just leave her alone (with the risk that she spreads her misguided beliefs to others and even endanger people, e.g. her own kids in denying them vaccination). How does she learns? Maybe by watching others not dying from it and not being affected at all. But drop any argumenation with facts or real evidence ... it's pointless they never belief it. It is even enforcing their views because you try to convince them activly. I really wonder if at this point the free will needs to be overwritten by society. When someone intends to harm themselves have society not the duty to somehow protect people from themselves?
    2
  488. Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean it stops being true. And in the end there is only one truth ... but OAN ... OAN doesn't provide it! They treat the truth like an absusive husband treats his wife.
    2
  489.  @terrencemcparland7927  Sure it is. Read up "Iron Curtain", "Cold War" and "Fall of the Berlin Wall"
    2
  490.  @CodeLife_12  Putin is indirectly helping Right-Wing groups in Europe and America and Putin is bribing politicians in the West to weaken their government and push them to the Right. He helped creating the excuse he uses to attack Ukraine and the West ... but his plan failed the West was not as willing to allow the Nazis in as he wanted. Trump was his greatest success and under Trump NATO become weakest almost to breaking point. What he did no planned was Covid. It ruined Trumps 2nd term because Trump decided to downplay it. Brexit was also influenced by Putin and by infiltrating all levels of British High Society and politics with his Oligarchs and tons of money. Brexit helped dividing Europe politically (still is) but it was like Trump not as successful as planned and even had the opposit effect the support for the EU even grew. Same as NATO.
    2
  491. One lemming to another: Today we are close to the edge tomorrow we are one step further.
    2
  492. How is discussing all 4 possible outcomes an echo chamber? The problem of an echo chamber is you rarly or never get a disagreement. But providing ALL possible outcomes can by definition not leave anything out. Besides there are tons of people from the right here disagreeing. They have rarly any arguments, sources or evidence for what they say just an opinion but they breaking the echo if there even is one.
    2
  493. "Stop the Steal" was in 2016 as well. Introduced by Trumps Friend Roger Stone he later pardoned from Prison and like in 2020 they scammed money from supporters to "Stop the Steal" or so they say while keeping some if not even all money for themselves.
    2
  494. You mean "Fox Opinions" The real name of this channel. They say so themselves before judges.
    2
  495. I'm actually astonished the US still has asbestos and lead-pipes. Europe banned these in the 80's and 90's already.
    2
  496.  Deen Hill  I have 10 different news sources 4 are from the US the rest is international. One even in another language. And you?
    2
  497. Why August in the holiday season? It makes no sense. If anything happens, than I would target Jul-04.
    2
  498. I think they are just not ready to admit to themselves they have been wrong about this guy and have been betrayed on a monumental scale. And as long as they are unwilling to admit being wrong as long they will support Trump.
    2
  499. There is only one party on the right. So of your course Trump is with the Republicans although they have more and more an issue with this. Trump would need his own party for that the Trump Party maybe. Similar to Farages Reform Party is about to re-create to syphon off more public money and make sure he stays relevant after Brexit turning sh...t next year.
    2
  500. Sorry, but this boogeman of hyperinflation you guys really love to say at this point has no basis in reality. Germany is doing much much much much more even than Biden for over 50 years and has the same inflation rate as the US but much much much much much less problems in all aspects of society. It could be better, go to Scandinavia countries who go even a step further.
    2
  501. I really hope the Greenlandians are a little smarter than other countries regarding their land and resources. Please take Norway as a role model in how to do it right. Don't sell land or minerals rights lease them. And tax all profits made with resources by 73% to pay it into a national develoment fund to pay for an universal income, subsidies, healthcare, education to build state owned homes and regional development. Consider maybe even join NATO and/or the EU to not be swallowed by big fishes out there America, Russia, China. If they do it right they can become a kind of Wakanda of the Artic.
    2
  502. Or in other words "People prefer a comfortable lie over a hard truth"
    2
  503. You really think Trumps bad stuff is not affecting you?
    2
  504. What happens when the liars convinced you everyone else is lying?
    2
  505. The only thing which makes Biden appear somewhat acceptable is when he has a teleprompter (= someone tells him what to say) but when Biden has to speak freely like in debates or q&a segments you notice the issue.
    2
  506. David clearly had respect for his guest, but in my opinion he gave him too much credit and could have been a little more like himself.
    2
  507. "How did that happen?" famous last words. See 2016.
    2
  508. Of course it is. Fox is know to instantly ending recording or even in live-streams when people do not say what they supposed to say. Wasn't it David himself who mentioned that this week?
    2
  509. Video-Clip: Just 3 words from him and he already showed his ignorance. China is not Communist, maybe by name, but they couldn't be further away from it. They are a capitalistic oligarchy if not even dictatorship. It's unhinged capitalism even more than in the US. I think it deserves a new term: State-Racket. Using a hole country like a mafia clan. And if the Republicans have it their way the US will adopt the China-model. One Party-system, no elections, no (fair independent) courts, total population control, total internet control, total political opinion oppression, all media controlled by the party, all companies controlled by the party. It's a nightmare even surpassing Orwell.
    2
  510. After all it also makes voting harder for conservative voters who don't want to be bothered with extra hurdles. Voting is already a nuisance for most any obstacles for it only make them vote even less.
    2
  511. Tell me a country besides the US who legalized gun ownership in the way the US has? And no ... other countries have democracies as well. And "Red Shirts" retaking a newly made democracy are nowhere to be seen in the last 200 years ... and even if ... the military will deal with it. A normal citizen has no chances against drones and military-grade weapons nowadays anyways. They are only good for shooting other citizens. And 4 out of 5 gun owners only have guns because others have guns too. Guns are now an end in itself.
    2
  512. Heroes? Yes Jan-06-like-heros ready for a orange jumpsuit for betraying the values which are the very foundation of this country.
    2
  513. Wrong. We criticise everyone even Biden if he makes anything wrong. That's the difference to you, you see any dissent any disagreement about Trump or his policy as an attack. You pretend he never makes mistakes and excuse everything no matter how bad it is. That's why Trump actually said at one point he could shoot people on 5th avenue and the people would still love him and vote him. Blind following, worship even this was. Only dictators get such a devotion and you have been fooled and conned by him. If Biden makes bad things, he is toast. That's something you are completly unable to do with Trump.
    2
  514. To be fair there are a lot of broken promisses in Biden 1st term. He not even managed half of what he said he would. Still if Biden is the nominee there isn't much of choice is there. I know it sucks and feels like blackmail by the DNC. Become politician ... change the system.
    2
  515.  @patriarch3056  Trumps government wants to abandon and defund the department of education because they see education as a threat and because it makes lying harder to get away with. You really think this will help kids?
    2
  516. Just because you have a public health care system does not mean democracy and capitalism is thrown away. They just take the "social" out of socialism and add it to democracy. Therefore policies like this might be called social-democratic. And there are lots of countries having this and being far from socialistic. UK for example has a state national healthcare 100% payed by tax. Countries across Europe have for more than 50 years public healthcare systems ... without changing the political or economical system. There is nothing to fear here but so much to gain for normal people. The most important: You are free of the fear of going bankcrypt when you or someone from your family has an accident or getting ill.
    2
  517. Reminds me of the movie "Captain America 2" with Alexander Pierce. He denied the Peace Nobel Prize and than wanted to unleash a fascist group on the US.
    2
  518.  @jajmagoo1548  He doesn't like what he sees in the mirror David is holding up. David hasn't said it out loudly but this is: "We told you so!"
    2
  519. Nah, that's just European influx here raising the level. And the guest was so long talking and boring - even for Europeans - no wonder most of Davids subscribers fled the comments.

  522. China is pretty bad. But it's a cultural thing noone else on this planet is so openly talking about it. And they can't see it as a problem it's normal for them due to the isolation from the west that's why they are so open about it. If you have that all your life around you and the media is showing nothing else it becomes normal for you.
    2
  523. But only for luxuries. And you don't wait endless.

  524. Has her studies on rallys included a candidate who is primarily fighting his own inadequacies and which are used against him by the other side. I really dislike arrogant scientists who assume they factored in every variable and stumble over such a simple overservation as this.
    2
  525. You think undocumented people get money from the government? Mate it is in the name "undocumented" they don't go to authorities to ask for something. They work for a living.
    2
  526. And I would ramp up the Drug testing. You can be sure China will try every trick in the box to get as many gold medals as they can.
    2
  527. The persons who cry "foul" the loudest are usually also the ones benefitting from it the least. Either because they don't have to work or have a save job they like or are so dissatisfied with their jobs that they wish they could stay on benefits. And I agree every system has the drawback of people trying to cheat on it but some hundred cases cannot be the reason to drop it for 20 mio people.
    2
  528. Plus a strong tendency to believe/hope and a lack of stochastical math.
    2
  529. Only people who cheated on taxes have to fear the IRS. Everyone now complaining about the IRS should be audited first.
    2
  530. Telling a Trump supporter to drop Trump is the same as asking a christian believer to drop god at this point. This is what devotion (blind love) does to you.
    2
  531. 23 children per class instead of 45 might help too.

  532. Trump calls everyone criticizing him having TDS. The motive is clear if you cannot argue devalue the person.

  533. Never trust people with simply arguments for complex problems.
    2
  534. This sounds not okay. Finding a legal settlement for money - tax-payers money - so an officer can get away scott-free. I mean imagine the irony. The parents of the victims pay with their own taxes for releasing an officer from consequences from their sons death.
    2
  535. Prices are not controlled by government. If you want that you need planning economy (like it was under communism). The solution is not to try to lower the prices which will never happen (inflation = how much prices rise, they never drop) the solution is low and mid range wage people need to get a larger percentage of the revenue they make.
    2
  536. I actually agree on that. Democrats have a lot to learn about messaging. Republicans are far ahead on this ... it's what kept them far longer in power than to be expected.
    2
  537. Trump did start a war ... with the American People by ignoring Covid and letting it run free. Total loss: 400,000 souls just on his watch. Avoidable deaths with better policy. And more casualties than all wars before that together.
    2
  538. Dairy itself is not the problem. The draining process from the utters is and how the cow lives. This is not like they imagine almost clean cows on green fields. This is cow standing in batteries between their own shit and they are not cleaned properly before they are milked by a machine or so fast that "particles" come into the milk container of all cows.
    2
  539. Trust is the basis of society. We only living together based on trust. It is an intrinsic part of complex societies. When you trust nothing anymore and believe nothing anymore how can you ever build anything more complex than what instinct and feelings allow?

  540. It's a hostile takeover. Everything the framers were afraid of and warned about.

  541. Make sense: Dead cannot pay

  542. I don't know David but my subtel warning bells going on with your guest. A brit advocating for oligarch sanctions are popular but bad? Someone saying "American politics is good", someone saying some form of autocratic leaderships are good or "we need the minority to have more to say" ... leave a lot of ambivalence open so I am careful with this guy his british exceptionalism shines a little bit too strongly through.

  544. FYI: Yes it's "Sir" Kier Starmer. He got his "Sir" as honor for his work in public prosecution. It is not an awarded or "buyed" title via the House of Lords. And he is not bragging about it or using it often himself.

  545.  @stefanlempen4346  I'm not a friend of enclaves of foreigners, they tend to isolation and reduce integration in the country they choose to live in. I can understand why (language, culture, religion) but the only thing they create is little islands of where there coming from and this is not good. Integration in the country you live in is important to reduce tensions between the people. The people there need to start knowing each other, communicate with each other, learn from another otherwise it creates only tensions on both sides.

  546. Don't let the door hit you in the back! And take your comment with you! No littering here.

  547. Well Trump admired Vladimir even. I guess he reminded him of his uncle who made him the amoral person he now is. A father-substitute.

  549. Trumps crime were real. They all had grand-juries who found the evidence convincing enough to indict a former US president. Sadly we never got the trial for them because Trump managed to escape by becoming president.

  550. Greenland is political part of Danemark, which is member of the EU. Greenland itself is not in the tariff zone of the EU ... yet ... but political associated with the EU via Danemark. Trump is playing with fire here. Danemark is financially supporting Greenland with 500 mio € every year. Some money comes back by sharing gains from mining resources. It's clear what Trump wants, exchange an exploited Island for a new one promising riches for the next 100-1000 years. Well there is this little issue the 3000 m ice shield on it which needs between 2000 and 50.000 years to melt depending how bad climate change continues. And have I mentioned this would increase the world sea level by meters? The way Trump handles things he would probably artificially warm it up to get to it and drown New York in the process.

  551.  @OHYS  I don't think so. Especially now that all three institutions are now controlled by democrats. I just hope they are clever enough to abolish the most egregious change the Republicans done in the last 10 years. If they just let it pass/stay as it is the democrats are doomed. Alternativly the democrats could introduce proportional voting this would completly change voting dynamics.
    2
  552. If the Republicans have it their way the elections ends up like it was in East Germany 30 years ago when only one party was on the ballot paper and you could only choose this party or not vote at all. Result for this party 99% every single time.

  553.  @americatruecrime  If you stick to the logic yes wages would even go down during deflations. For the interest rates nothing would change however since inflation is neutral to working people federal banks can ignore this component and concentrate entirely on investment/growth, the financial markets and the amount/price of money. Inflation would only be a problem for money hoarders. So even inflation rates of 10% would not be problematic but would force money hoarders to invest which in turn leads to more growth.
    2
  554.  @americatruecrime  Since mortgage rates are bound to the base interest rate the same rules would apply ... the lower the base interest rate the better for homebuyers and investors because money is cheaper. Extremly high inflation rates should be an exception even if wages are more protected from the results. Which brings me to a final remark. Even if wages are bound by law to inflation rates there are of course still relation between working people and the base interest rate. For example on mortgages but also on unemployment rate which is tighly connected to investment/growth. This policy would only make sure workforce value is not constantly deflated by the value of inflation creating all kinds of other issues for society but it would of course not be completly isolated because everything is connected in one way or another.

It was not really about you personally but something the trolls do recently in numbers leaving "I am unsubscribing" posts and having an account barely a month old [I checked yours you were not] just to somehow disuade people from watching it. They often have randomized numbers like you in the user-tag. And I guess I was in a adversarial mood yesterday normally I wouldn't care must been the current news which left me somewhat aggravated about the stupidity of humans. Besides trolls wouldn't bother defending as extensive as you did. So ... never mind.

  559. China has a shortage of coal. It is usually delivered from Australia in gigantic amounts. But China started a punitive Trade War with Australia this year for political reasons. Result: Coal Price exploded and is rationed. And since China made a lot of power by coal, power is shut off in less dense area of parts of the week and sometimes even in denser regions leading to production outages which have effects on the whole world economy since we were so stupid and let them do the manufacturing ... just because it's a bit cheaper.

  561.  @johnv9594  Sooner or later you have to change to electric vehicles anyway. No matter if you start expanding nuclear or regenerative energy or even if fusion makes it one day ... they all rely on people moving over to electric vehicles. Besides when you also put solar panels on your house and/or a wind turbine or water turbine on your property (if possible) you are totally independent AND create clean energy.

  562. Good job and welcome to the World of Normal. And just a remark here: This here is not "Extreme Left" as so many say . For that you need to find the last Socialists in Europe who are dying out at the moment. What is considered left in the US is centric in Europe. And we have no conspiracy therories here and do it as you learned to do it. Check everything for Truth. The more you know for sure, the easier it gets to do it and to spot lies. And we don't have any conspiracy theories about anything it's all factual. There is no rabbit hole here just wide open space. The last left conspiracy theories died out with Socialism and Communism 30 years ago after the Iron Curtain fell. Both proved to be failed politicals models against the architecture of human nature. The closest thing to a theory might be "Egoistic Altruism", but that's more like a realistic approach to increase wealth without going against the human nature. If you want read up on it there are some pretty good videos out there. It's just a model how to grow without exploiting someone else in order to increase wealth. And a lot of countries in Europe and the EU itself now changing to this approach simply because wars, class systems and worker exploitation are no option anymore.

  564. Everytime the Republicans (or anyone) reduces corporate taxes. The billionairs and multi-millionairs starts funneling money info fake investments from their offshore accounts at minimum taxes. If the bussiness thrives or not is not that important, but the money in now laundered and part of the real economy. If the bussiness thrives so much the better but in normal cases they just sell it to turn it into clean money.

  565. All the lies unfortunatly have one final cost on society: Loss of trust. One of the core foundations of society. It makes you doubt everything and everyone. It prevents you trusting people when you should and makes you expect malice and deception on every action.

  566. Do not try to argue with facts. You will only push him further away. Try to seperate him from his media sources for a while if you can. Maybe you can make a holiday trip with him or a longer travel. Just try to give him an incentive to not listen to any political news for a while it changes peoples perception and addiction to News and Hate. Maybe you can make a deal with him somehow like: You stop listening to politics for 2 weeks and I give you X in return. Or "Come on, let do this or that for a couple of days/weeks" or something like that. When you really want to argue than try not to convince him directly by attacking his position but by explaining how you do come to the opinion you have. Understanding is everything and people are more willing to listen like that instead of a frontal assault on his beliefs he may not be able to defend properly. If it effects you badly in some way than explain this to the person how his political opinion / standpoint affects your emotions or life and his opinion may make you engaging with this person even less if this continues. Normally emotional attachments, friendships or even family are worth more to those people than some political position. But your main goal should be to somehow make the person stop listening to the Hate-Generators in Form of so called News Channels or Social Media. And just staying away from it and doing anything else is reducing this hate feeling people get addicted to.

  567. Trump was also encumbant in 2020 and the economy was still okay because Covid just started. It still not helped him win. I think encumbancy is overrated and economy number-wise may be good but the people not really feel it. And keep in mind elections are rigged in favor of Republicans due to gerrymandering and Electoral College. The Democrat candidate needs at least +8 points to win.

  568. A week has passed. Trump done all the bad stuff and none of the good stuff. For right-winger: All of the stuff you hoped he "didn't really meant" and none of the stuff you expected him to do. Remind me: Why did you vote him?

  569. Never thought I would agree with Bill Maher on something but indeed you vote for whoever you disagree with the least. And you will never be happy unless you run yourself.

  570. And there are even people who argue Healthcare should be part of this selection. And it can easily be proven: Imagine there would be no private healtcare anymore because noone can afford it anymore and all hospitals close down. Postal Services argueable as well. Imagine no company would be there for mail and packages. Impossible in an online-based economy. Oh and I forgot to mention education of course. When people are incapable companies need to open the border for more immigration to get able people. A Society can actually stop working when personal no longer understanding how things are done or even if there are not enough people anymore for a specific job.

Don't allow any private healthcare besides it, don't allow multiple-insurance trusts to appear. One for all from the federal government and make it mandatory for all citizens WITHOUT exceptions or the rich will try to escape. Only pay services in public hospitals, and make the funding independent from the current government or they will seek ways to undermine it and end it (see UK). Don't allow a think-tank controlled medicine approval mechanisms. Europe is experimenting with Health-Care for over 50 years now. Please don't repeat the same mistakes again your next generations will thank you for it.

They pay between 5% and 11% thanks to various tax cuts, loopholes and the fact that most of their income is not based on earned income and therefore not part of the income tax. Or did you wanted to tell me income tax is higher for high earners? I did knew that, but there is a reason why most executives not get payed in wage. Want to try again?

So you keep believing what you want and I keep searching for a better answer and until then I stay where I am. Good day. P.S. Attacking the messenger and not the message is a sign of a weak argumention. P.S.2: The average tax rate for normal workers in the us is between 27% and 22% ... not 4%. Every normal American can confirm you that.

  589.  @yeboscrebo4451  I can see what you do. You mixing tax rates (what people actually pay in taxes relative to all their income and the only thing what matters ... How much of your income goes out in taxes) and % from total tax income of the country. Or simpler put ... you mix apples with oranges and try to tell me you are right because of your oranges while I say I am right with my apples. And with that ... muddy the waters ... as always. Ironically you proved something else right for me thanks. The most extreme income inequality on the planet. That the lower 50% have barely enough income to be taxed. Really interesting is in any way just the top 1% and the remaining 99%.
    1
  590.  @yeboscrebo4451  And there it is again. You keep repeating the same misleading comparison. Your number/comparson is completly void of meaning because it compares the percentages of total tax revenue and not the tax each person has to pay from his income. I give you an example how ridiculous your point is: Imagine a country with just 2 citizen: Imagine Citizen A has 100,000,000$ income and a tax rate of 1% paying 1 mio in tax. Imagine Citizen B has 100,000$ income and 10% in tax rate paying 10,000$ in tax. The total tax income would be 1,010,000$ The "lower bottom" 50% would be 0,9% of this and 99,1% would be the top 1% in this. This is what you are throwing at me all this time. The tax-rate of the low-wage earner would still be 10 times higher than for the rich guy although the rich guy earns 1,000 times more than the other. Meaning the poor guy has to give up 0,10$ from each dollar he earns while the rich guy only has to give up 0,01$ per dollar earned. And that considering that the rich has no issues paying the same tax rate or even a 90% tax rate would not have any impact on his life and still earn 111 times more than the other after taxes. He would just get richer a little slower. This is the unfairness. The same unfairness which exists in the US.

  600. There are advanced countries, who are like the US also democracies have the rule of law, etc. but have no juries. In Europe in particular. They have judges, lawyers, witnesses, etc. and all the procedures ... but no juries, no jury duty and so on. It changes a lot and lays much more weight on the judge and on the arguments and substance of the lawyers. Less social hacking, less manipulation, less biasness by selection, less gaslighting since judges can see through them much easier. However it also makes the judges role and ability much more important ... and I'm not sure American Judges who are often political appointees and not always selected for their abilities, experience and objectivity would be a good idea to be implemented in the US since it gives potentially corrupt judges even more power.

  604. Some people on Trumps side want democracy replaced because it stopped delivering for them. This is why they accept a "1-day dicator" ignoring the dangers with it. They see good economic numbers but they don't feel it because their inflation-corrected wages did not grow since the 80ties. They want change and Biden only stands for the old for more of the same. Trump promisses change radical change and they take it no matter where it leads because status quo is not an option anymore. How is his model of "Keys to White House" incorporating this?

  624.  @caesium404  If you think "lefties" like CNN or MSNBC you could not be more wrong. Both channels are Corporate Channels. But watching a channel is not being in a cult. Noone forcing you to watch it and they do not tell you what to do (well not directly anyway). So no not a cult. And for now you can do 1. You can post critical statements there and you are not suppresses or punished for it. Not believe me read the comments there. However on 2 you are partly right. They sometimes lie in order to push for a corporate agende since their advertisers and owners are corporations and extremly wealthy individuals. On the other hand there are much worse channels out there who manage to put 2 or 3 lies into the same sentence. If you want to know what a cult is: Following Trump is. You are extremly attacked if you say something bad about Trump and lies are more often than truths. Logical errors and lack of reasoning happening all over the place and calling them out brings you in big trouble.

  626. Most countries would actually see this as a breach of privacy. How you vote should not be known by anyone unless you tell them yourself. But the information what you vote can only be used to manipulate voting boundaries e.g. in gerrymandering. The information what you vote should be made secret like it's in most modern democracies and especially the state/government should never get the information how you vote, especially in democracies which don't have proportional voting. Especially in modern times with Internet and Social media this information can and probably is used for targetted advertisement e.g. on Facebook. People have no idea how dangerous this is nowadays. Some parties in other countries pay millions to get a hold on this information nowadays and need to be very careful not to get caught doing this because most countries have forbidden this kind of databases.

  630. You know the Bills are actually made by the Democrats in Congress (since Republicans voted No to all them) ... not Biden. There is a peculiar mixup in American Politics. People think Congress and Whitehouse are the same. But that's not so. Congress makes the laws, the Whitehouse applies them hence the names legislature and executive. Biden has no part in making the laws even if he signs them in the end but this is a formality. And still for some strange reason most Americans account all what Congress is doing to the president. I am not a friend of this mixup. A clear seperation of powers and responsibilities is important. It is also important to understand who is to blame for things that did not happen. Especially the Republicans are to blame here because they also prevented even better things for example in Build Back Better.

And the examples from CNN doesn't even come close to the ones you hear by FOX. And more important. CNN/MSNBC are not stocking up hatred. You can watch it without an increasing blood pressure. Fox is acting like those Trolls on Social Media: They don't really care what opinion they have but they carefully select what and how they say it so people get aggravated. Internet Trolls just want an emotional reaction from you but Fox use it to "push" people's opinion in a direction they want.

  647. You just need to name "Defund the police" to show how terrible Democrats are. A 3-word slogan which need 3 paragraphs and a "but" to not be misunderstood. Ridiculous stupid decission it should never have been used. Republicans are very good at campaigning with more or less nothing. They either have no policies to work with or their policies are so terrible that everyone actually reading it will vote against it. Republicans also never talk about the past and about their achievements because there is nothing or it's so bad that it's better to not talk about it anymore. Nerver noticed, but Republicans always talk about tomorrow, they promise the world for you and the pot of gold is always behind the next hill at the end of the rainbow. But they never deliver it's a lie, an illusion. Republians also like to campaign on fear and anger. It's their most successfull strategy for elections. Make an enemy (trans, culture war, woke people) or exaggerate an existing enemy or prejudice (immigrants, "metropolitan elite", The Swamp, socialists/communists) and promise "to deal with it" and to protect voters from it. Do they ever? No ... or lets say they make it appear like that. Solving it means you cannot use it for the next election. Despite all those negatives and more or less nothing substantive (and real/truthful) to campaign on Republicans manage to get elected quite successfully by appealing to emotions, especially anger, hate and fear. They have a short direct language mostly short 3 word slogans people can remember and use even if they might not fully grasp the meaning. And the Democrats could learn a lesson or two. And this is the what Democrats need to change. Appeal to emotions. People like hope, passion, empathy more than hate, anger and fear. Point out achievements people liked or even loved. Keep reminding them of the good stuff. And use the policies you plan to introduce to work for you most of the policies the left suggested are liked even by Right-Wing voters.

They promissing the world for you, to "deal" with the people who don't like, to "go back to the old ways", to give you everything you want ... if you just make your cross in their box. But they never give you details. They never tell you why or how and this is how you can detect them by a lack of detail and reasoning and a lack of honesty.

  655. I think the unlikely case of Democrats keeping the house and getting the senate will be happening. And here are my arguments for this opinion. The current round of Republican candidates is terrible, they are even rejected by moderate Republicans like Trump has been in the 2020 elections. And they are much worse than the ones of 2020. Taking away Freedoms and the in particular the right to decide over your own body is terrible. It turned most Republican women away because it affects their freedom as well. The risks of losing the right to decide for yourself will encourage voters to vote especially in Red States because those families already suffer under the consequences of overturning Roe vs. Wade and the extreme laws the Republicans made. This is the first true Post-Covid election and Republicans indirectly killed a lot of their own voters by seeding doubts about the vaccine and the lies about it and Covid handling. Student loan relief is very popular ... even among Republican students. Lower Drug-costs is very popular ... especially in poorer Red States. Therefore ... I expect a surprise win for Democrats. And I expect that all unexpected wins will be declared fraudulent and challenged by Republican candidates in the extremists way to the point of civil unrest and calls for violence. I even expect that some elections in Red States will be activly ignored/overturned leading to a constitutional crisis and civil unrest.

  656. The GOP's fate was decided on Trumps 2nd impeachment in the Senate. It was a golden opportunity to get rid of Trump for the good of the party and the country. Now they are chained to him and he is dragging them down with him as his past is catching up to him.

  658. The Republicans moved so much to the end of the table that they now are in risk of falling off the table or they are so heavy that the hole table is turning.

  659. About the Inflation Argument - The Stimulus checks are not new money pumped into the system. It's money the tax-payer payed into the system and are now just payed out again. See it as a payout from a long-term investment-plan. It's your money you get back nothing more, not new money which wasn't there before. The money payed out is also not available for the government to spend somewhere else. So the hole system has not become "havier" so to speak. And if it helps prevents that some people go hungry, ill, bankcrupt, homeless and preserves the status quo a little while longer it does more good than bad for the economy in the future. This is the very thing people tend to forget. The 400.000 excess deaths by Covid Trump could have been prevented will have opportunity costs for the US in the future. Those are people from all age groups now missing from the system. Humanists don't like it very much but it can't be denied that everyone of us is helping the GDP in one way or another. So yes you can place a value on every citizen how much every contributes to society at least on average. And this makes the economic damage of dead people calculateable. A sell for one is a purchase for another. And now 550.000 potential cpnsumers and workers are gone within 12 months. It WILL have an impact, especially if experts and high-qualified personel is among them. But even if not companies starting up again now need to find new suitable workers and it will disrupt chains and well oil machinery of economics to a degress and create costs. And the simulus helps to mitigate this loss somewhat.

  660. I agree. Democracy only works with aware people. Meaning people who are exposed to the truth, the truth and nothing but the truth. Trump happened because media is not reporting the truth but what billionaires want them to think.

  661. So what is the correct handling of these types? Argueing don't work. Ignoring maybe? Try to cut them off any political media for a while? Must it be really a war first before those people come to their senses. Germans lost their hold by Hitler over them with the 2nd World War because attrocious things and losses happend. Originally I thought January-06 would be bad enough for people to wake up but apparently it wasn't enough. I can't believe those people would support Trump up to the point to destroy American Democracy and with it the The United States of America as it exists. Do we really need to lose things before we start to value them? Deceny, Integrity, Honesty and Empathy. Those are the values America was founded on and to get away from Britain who had with the monarchy nothing of this. And the Republican party lost almost all of this as well with the exception of Liz Cheney today who at least preserved honesty and integrity on this occasion.

  663. We have to do something about the misinformation and lies (one is not intentional the other is). It's eroding trust a core pillar of society. I personally would suggest a new human right a right to truth. Everybody wants it except the liars. It will not end the lying but it makes the liars responsible for their lies and create a legal basis for liability which goes above defamation.

  680. The only positive long-term solution is to make her understand. But it's important that the person makes the conclusion not yourself or the person thinks you force your opinion. You done the research, why not sit down with her and showing her how you come to your own conclusion and like that helping her make her own. This way she not only understand how you come to your opinion and that it did not come out of the blue, but it makes it easier to convince her in the long term and it build up trust between you. Now if she denies even this opportunity or concludes differently than you can deal with the fallout and decide further measures. However if this fails you have to consider this will be just the start and there will be more topics with unreasonable disagreement.

  681.  @joc.1353  There is a board consisting of members of different parts of society, politics and culture they are like an oversight committee for the media setting general directives and appointing and approving managers and holding them to account. Other than that the different public channels are managed like every other bussiness however with the premise of cost-coverage not profit-making. If there are profits for example licensing content they go back into media for investment/expansion or being used to reduce the fee.

  686.  @TheTruthTeller99  I'm not ignorant, especially not as a European looking from afar which provides me with a unique perspective on you guys without a political stake on either side. I watch and listen and I'm not blindly accepting everything someone says not even if it's David Pakman whom I found just recently and watch now and than because he provides a more "grown up" view on politics than most and I can't stand the other channels like Damage Report and similar. If you have something negative about "the left" give your statement, provide a source for your information, arguments, reasoning so people can be sure they are true and understand you. And than people will debate about even them. Noone is excempt from this not even people from your own side. And I like to remind you: One positive doesn't negate one negative.

  687.  @TheTruthTeller99  I don't know much about this so I will not pick a side on this. My first question would be: How did it come to child trafficing in the first place? Is there something which made it possible to happen in the first place. Maybe an existing law or regulation, underfunding of law enforcement, understaffing? Missing checks? We just see the result/consequence here, but what if Trump is only cleaning up something his government causes in some way or another or even just made it easier to do it and get away with? Noone should get bonus points for cleaning up his own mess.
    1
  688.  @TheTruthTeller99  Well you explained it and I already said: "Noone should get bonus points for cleaning up your own mess" on that thought I welcome that he tries to fix things he has broken and not just leave them broken, but he has only done the minimum what everyone is expecting of him fixing up his own mess what he is actually there is not make mistakes and make it right and better from the beginning. And what he did not do is explaining why that happened and apologize to the victims that he made it possible in the first place. Therefore absolutely no bonus points from me, but if he continues to fix his mess and maybe makes something right from the start, than I'm willing to credit him bonus points. Look it is a little different. If he would get bonus points for that, he could just continue to break things to fix it later and call himself a hero. Don't you see why nobody could be rewarded for this. They would continue to break things only to fix them. This is like a car mechanic tweaking your car in a way that it breaks down in 1000 miles so you come back to him to pay more.

  690. People keep defending Trump because accepting Trump is a criminal would cause a mental breakdown. They sacrificed years to him, donated to him, listened to him, helped him, voted him, defended him. Families broken apart over it, friendships, collegues people you know. And if it turns out all the time they supported a conman, a criminal and someone who destroys America from the inside they will feel a betrayal on a personal level noone ever seen before. I would even go so far that it may make some of them so upset and out of mind that they try to take revenge directly on Trump. And maybe Right-Wing advisors see this too coming and want to prepare a believable story in advance.

  695.  @thefirstMorganLeFay  Let me rephrase that. There is something people prefer more than anxiety and anger: The removal/release of it. It's not quite hope directly but it's leading to it. Therefore Democrats main-goal should be to remove and alleviate anxiety and anger wherever possible. That's why what Manchin and the Corporate Money-Taker in Congress done to make the recon-bill smaller or even bring it to 0 is so badly. It's completly the oppossit and leads to even more anger because politicians (Republicans AND Democrats alike) done this to personally benefit from it. People who are already extremly wealthy and get richer on backs of people on the existential minium.

  701.  @johnathancreque8303  This has nothing to do with "better" or "worse" it's part history and part practical. English is one of the easiest languages on this planet perfect for an international basis. So trade, air traffic, sea traffic, space traffic, even Scientific Papers are spoken and written in English. A lot of people still prefer their own languages and english might be simple, but it's also limited in a lot of ways. People who speak foreign languages know this very well. Sometime there are simply no words in english for some foreign words. I'm also against that one language should replace all others. Keep the lanugages they are a cultural gift and should not be forgotten. For the EU multi-lateralism and multi-culturism is very important so they funding programs to rescue minority languages and even dead languages of some regions in Europe to avoid losing them. So yes ... a global language like English is helpful and needed to communicate, but our history, culture and sometimes even our identity is bound to our lanuguages and nothing should be lost. See this here for example. For me English is my 3rd language in my life. And now that I'm older my 2nd most important one I need almost every day.

  702. Even if the DNC would hide Biden for the next 4 months and noone in media would from now on talk about "Biden's issue" and people would turn blind and deaf to everything they see and hear from Biden ... Trump and his campaign will make sure everyone sees clips everywhere. And they will use the silence about Biden and frame it as deception and also use it to convince independent and swing-voters.

  703. I would actually welcome if they would ban all private healthcare or let's say make "public healthcare" mandatory for everyone to pay in but you can have more by paying privately as well. Important is that noone can escape the public funding because the current system is failing because more and more people decide to go for private only.

  709. Just simply expanding is way to shortsighted. What's preventing future presidents to just do the same until 99 judges sits there ... for life. It needs much more reforms, reforms which are fair for all no matter who is president or which party have the majorites. Politics must somehow get out of the Supreme Court it's supposed to be a watchdog for the constitution and a firewall for democracy against the executive (president) or legislation (Congress) to make sure noone is above the law and noone tries to overturn the system. To make it more clear for normal people. It should be the umpire of the game. And what happens when the umpire is partisan? Yes outraged fans and unfair decissions.

  722. The issue is that people see how Democracy in the US is corrupted to the core, stagnating and simply no longer working due to obstructionism and the unfair Senate-hold on the country. Just look at Biden desperatly fighting against his own party members to get anything done. So people have more than enough to reason to say "Democracy [US Democracy] is no longer working maybe we need something different." And since people tried to vote Republicans and it got worse, now they vote Democrat it is not getting better they are justified to ask if it needs something more extreme something else than Democracy. The last outcry on that was the election of Trump with his "I'm against the establishment" ... of course Trump himself was part of the establishment but people swallowed it anyway.

  734. People using the term "Cancel Culture" = People who are afraid of changes = Cowards = CON-servatives = (often) Republicans In the end those people just fear we canceling them as well. This actually happens especially with old people who feel threatened by the young. Or rich or powerfull people fearing they lose their wealth and/or power. Fear is the underlying problem source. And some people try to use this fear to manipulating people to give them power (and money) by saying "I protect you from that." or "I make it better again" or even "I make it great again" See now how this all connects. It's unfounded fear and people exploiting this fear to get money and power. All dicators do that, all corrupt people do that. High-level manipulation of a human weakness called "fear". But they are not planning to make anything better, they just want the money and/or power when people realize this, it's often too late.

  750. The Reason why Republicans don't have any policies is, because they turned the US into their dreamland in the last 50 years since Reagan. The only fear they have now is losing what they have, that's why they only attack the Democrats, Biden and their policies because everything now coming is not in their interest. And to every Republican voter: You must be happy with the US as it is. It's Republican paradise including illegal immigrants (Republicans love cheap labour willing to get paid even less than minimum wage). If you don't like it then maybe you support the wrong party.

  751. I agree it can't hurt to take a little credit and than for their work. If they don't do it, the next Republican will do. And saying "And the stock market is doing well" exactly like Trump did would probably freak them out. And keep reminding people what people said about Biden, about a Democrat democracy, about the predicated and impending doom and communism being introduced. People must realize they have been lied to in order to manipulate them into voting Republican.

  752. Trump and Ring-Wing Populism thrives because of support and collaboration or willfull ignorance of the wealthy middle-class. If you not realize this from the start you already lost the battle. Yes there are poor and desperate amongst the supporters as always but the large majority who are listening to people like Trump or Johnson are people without any money-issues ... they only fear to lose it ... especially since 2008 and with Corona. That's what making them support those people: Fear of losing what they have. THIS is actually what CON-servatism is all about: I vote you (I donate to you) and you make sure I stay as I am. And the more threatened the status of the wealthy middle-class is the more they are willing to support ... to not lose what they have left. The sad thing is: In order to try to ensure their economic wellbeing they support people who actually threaten it even more ... but it takes a while for them to see this ... too late for most. And there is always the risk you getting someone getting so influential or even powerful that you have issues getting rid of him when you want to. Trump being a good example now.

Imagine what happens, when they realize they have been lied to and conned for money so Trump can continue his lifestyle of Gold-plated toilets and so on and that Trump gave a flying flamingo about them. He only wanted their money, their vote and their devotion to bolster his ego. The American Wanne-be Monarch.

In exchange I demand that you admit Trump been a serious mistake when he fails and makes it worse. And that you join forces when he tries to end America as you know it or really becomes a tyrannt.

Normally this should be enough to not vote Republicans but for some reasons people only see the 3-Gs and seem to think it tops all else. It's completly counter-intutive. The only argument to explain this remotely for me is: Fox doing a good job into creating fear. So much that people are willing to vote against their interest.

  788. Try to fight wage inequality it's the source of all problems. US has the worst of this world, twice as much as the UK, 4 times as much as Germany and 8 times as much as Scandinavia which counts to the best countries in the world to live in. The model is rather simple: Instead of on super-rich employee earning 10 mio per year, he get's 1 mio less and for that 1000 average citizens get 900 $ more wage. If the super-rich is getting 10 mio or 9 mio will not really hurt him, but 1000 families can live a better life and more importantly can spend the money back into the economy for property, to create saving, to invest or to consum. There are more measures here which Europe (except UK) is using, but when I name them here I'm called a Socialist.

  790. NEVER allow anyone to talk you out of voting! You may think or even have been told you somehow punish politicians with that but that's not the case. It's even worse you allow someone else to vote for you. You give away the only real power you have in a democracy - making this little cross once in a while. Even if you don't like the candidate you voting for unless you are against ALL of his or her policies there is no reason not to vote him. And keep in mind you voting the party not the person. This one person you vote for is unable to make policies alone the party is important and their numbers. See it differently: If someone has 10 promisses for improvement, but you don't like 2 of them? Is that a reason to drop the other 8 as well? There is a saying: Never allow perfection to be the enemy of the good.

  796. All wages, pensions and benefits should be bound by law to the inflation rate. - Meaning they have to rise at least by the inflation rate automatically without negotiations. This ensures the real wage never goes down. And inflation becomes neutral for working people on earned income. And inflation is only a problem for money hoarders.

  804. My theory it's a lack of empathy. You cannot be funny if you arn't able to put yourself in another persons mind. They have to fake emotions as well (besides anger) which makes every normal human cringy when watching this. Like a 15 year old on his first date. Have you seen a funny right-winger ... ever. Can you imagine Hitler or Mao making jokes, probably extremly bad ones at best everyone would be appaled. Even Trump when trying to show emotions or makeing jokes were cringy. They just can't do it. It always feel insincere and artificial. There is a little test to this. Barly noone notices this. But watch closely when sociopaths get applause. They tend to applaud with the audience for themselves. They applaude themselves without realzing how cringy this is for everyone to watch. All Dictators, all autocrats, all sociopaths and psychopaths doing this. Keep an eye out for this. However if you ask why, please ask someone with a degrees in psychology. Maybe is because they just copy the emotional reaction around them due to absence of their own sense for that and don't realize that in this case it's inapporiate. It's a serious lack of empathy (or social competency if you prefer).

Another question: How would more Republicans voting for this bill would lead to lower inflation?

  808. How many people live in Washington? How many of them actually work in government? Why should millions of people not have a vote and say in national matters? Washington D.C. has more citizens than some other states. It's undemocratic that they pay tax, work, live like everybody else but have no say. In a way the US is occupying them no different than Britain occupied the US colonies more than 200 years ago.

  809. Everyone has a bad day once in a while, but when age-related fitness is your problem these things are more the rule than the exception. Everytime I hear Biden having to speak freely without a note or teleprompter the issues reappear I seen it for a while now and it scares me. It scares me how Trump can use that because this is not a lie for a change everyone can see that and Biden cannot explain it all away. And when the left lies and pretends all is well the right will use that too like "see they lying to you and probably lie on everything else".

Being a member of the intelligence committee I hope she not just believes, but actually knows. It's a small but extremly important difference especially nowadays when so many lies are around. It's the difference between fact and belief which is the fine difference between Biden and Trump, between lies and facts, between true informations (=facts) and believable lies.

But Harris no not really. But I have to admit I can't quite put my finger on the reason for it. It's just some resistance I feel in my stomach. I don't mind that she is a woman, I don't mind that she is a person of color ... I don't care. It's something else.

  829. Sometimes I wonder if the Democrats want to lose or maybe are payed by legal bribery (donations) to lose intentionally especially when progressives getting too influential. Progressive Democrats do not take Corporate PAC money they can do what their voters want. People who take Corporate Money are not free they need to give something back to the donor (Corporations, Wealthy individuals) or the donations will dry up next time. Republicans always take any donation they can get a hand on. So for Corporate Democrats (the so called "moderates") Corporate Republicans are closer to them than Progressives in their own party who not listen to Corporations like they do or Republicans do. So is it so unlikely that some might prefer to lose to Republicans than lose to Progressives? Progressives if they ever have enough influence will really drain the swamp and dissolve this corrupt system of legal bribery and will introduce complete transparency. All things Republicans and Corporate Democrats hate.

  830. People have been told about a terrible thing in a box. They plastered the box with labels to stay away from it, to never dare open it and about dangers in it but noone actually know what's in it. Maybe "socialist" should first describe what they are aiming for. The goal, the world and ways how humans would live in it because noone actually knows this people have only been told it's awful but if you ask them about it they don't know. Having said that I'm not a friend of extreme socialism. I like some of it and society need some of it, but not all of it. Socialism as a system especially as a political system is not compatible with the human nature (not as much as Communism). Why repeating history? Look at Germany after WW2 meaning 40 years long until the iron curtain fell. East Germany tried real socialism as Marx and Engels postulated (not Communism like in the USSR) and West Germany sticked to social democracy. Germany until this day is trying to revert the mismanagement of those 40 years and although 30 years have passed there are still some things no yet normalized. Learn from it. Take the best things of market economy/capitalism and the best things of socialism and you get social market economy, the thing Germany is running now for 70 years and altough it's far from perfect it's much better than what the US having right now in some kind of elbow-society where your worth and living-standard is based on how good you can exploit others, hurt your rivals and lie to your benefit instead of truth, honesty, dialog, cooperation and consensus to work for the greater good.

Global warming is only the engine for it and heating up all water on the planet by 2° has it's drawbacks (ever tried heating up just your swimming pool by 2° than you know how much energy that eats ... try that with 4 oceans). But climate change ... well changes the climate. Unusual weather, temperatures going to extrem both extrem warm and extreme cold, jetstream stuttering leading to extreme dry and extrem wet periods of weather over longer times. It can go all ways the point is we heated up all water by 2° and the energy is in there and now screwing up all weather patterns on the planet. Of course storms, hurricans, taifuns and tornados as well ... the energy need to go somewhere.

And while they all failed, the danger from within since Trump brought the country to the brink. It turns out lies and misinformation are in the end more dangerous than weapons.

There are 3 goals for Republicans and their donors funded media like Fox (Murdoch) #1: Distract people from the popular new laws/changes Biden is doing. #2: Distract people while the election law is changed in favor of Republicans or in other words rigging elections before they happen. #3: Keep people angry so the anger can be directed. If they wouldn't do it people might actually direct the anger where it needs to be and where it would do the most good ... on Republicans.

  858. The so called "Free Market" and also the "Less Regulation" stuff is only there to allow companies to cheat. To cheat on price, on service, on quality, on security, on rivals, on taxes, on the customers. Both is only there to maximize profit on the costs of others. Best most recent example Texas power grid but the downfall of heavy industry and manufacturing is the same thing just going back way way longer. "Free unhinged trade and Less Regulation" without a level playing field like the EU enforces are actually both job killers. They need some time, but over 10 to 20 years the jobs will go in such scenarios and the only winners will be the owners and stock holders. Customers are cheated, jobs are transfered to the cheapest countries where cheating is easiest and the price is lowest and the environment is irraparable damaged. The US is the best of example for that how disastrous and destructive this policy can be.

  859. If impeachments and/or indictments are political motivated or not can be easily detected: On the presence of solid evidence. All impeachments on Trump needed days and weeks even to present it all and it was solid stuff they even left out some weaker stuff. And the same will be true for his indicments. They even limited themselves to charges which are easier to prove the list could have been a lot lot longer. Hillarys computer, Hunters laptop, the "stolen" election of 2020, the alleged Bidens crimes all of them ... no evidence ... not even weak evidence. Trumps own appointed judges thrown him out of the courtroom for being empty handed.

  874. We cancel the Republicans. That's what they are afraid of. We cancel income inquality by raising the minimum wage. That's what they are afraid of. We cancel inequality by making elections fair and equal. That's what they are afraid of. We cancel unfair taxation. Make the rich pay at least the same as everybody else. That's what they are afraid of. We cancel tax avoidance by giving the IRS more budget and removing all laws making tax avoidance easy and without punishment. That's what they are afraid of. We cancel private health care by introducing public health care payed by tax. Tax they will bear a larger sum on than paying only for themselves. That's what they are afraid of. We cancel gun violence my making guns harder to get. We cancel corruption. That's what they are afraid of. Cancelation on itself is not bad or good. It depends only on what you cancel. And noone is really intrested in Mr. Potate or Dr. Suess kids can continue to read and play with it. But canceling racism, inequality and unfairness ... thats something good for 99% of Americans but nearly half of them don't see it yet and think it's the end of America.

  890. It's all terrible. Introduce PR and Proportional Voting. This allows the creation of more than 2 parties. The voters decide exactly which party can say how much by percentage of votes. Parties can consider making a coalition if having less than 50% of the votes and being political compatible. Introduce a minimum hurdle of small parties of 5% to get any seats (this prevents that too many micro-parties come up). Get rid of the Senate. You don't need it, one legislative chamber who decides all is more than enough. The Senate is designed to protect the status-quo and to allow the minority to control everything which is inheritly undemocratic and make control easier (and cheaper in regard of legal bribery). This will end the binary two choices and allow all kind of flavors to enter the political arena. Passing laws means you have to cooperate making the laws less extreme and longer lasting because the laws will not be undone in full once the leading party switches. Will this eventually allow extreme parties on left and on the right to come up? Yes surely. I would expect the progressives to make their own party, maybe an even further left party but also a Maga-Party on the right will surely be created ... however voters will decide how much influence each party will have.

  893. If I were Biden I would now throw the idea of Proportional Voting into the room. It would get Bi-Partisonship from all parties because PR-Voting allows a Multi-Party System.

  898. If you like David, than there is a phone-in host called James O'Brien from the UK on LBC (Leading Britains Conversation) you will love. He is one of the very few reasonable phone-in hosts with like David left tendencies but I would call him moderate left. His topics are of course often concentrated on the UK but roughly 50% of it applies to the US and the rest of Europe as well. Why I mention him: Mr. O'Brien did wrote some books because he is doing political phone in for a long time now and collected a lot of experience and knowledge over the years and one thing he mentioned which applies to this channel was similar to: "If you stick to the truth, even if you are the last one, you never go insane." which I think applies here. Just hearing the truth is almost a luxury in the US nowadays but that's the reason why so many people like it here.

  902. Agree on all points with you. Yet 50% of the voters disagree with you. Do you see the problem? They live in a Fox- and Maga-created reality in which Trump is the oppossit of all you mentioned and Biden is all that and just blames all on Trump. You cannot argue with reason, you cannot argue with logic, you cannot argue with fact, you cannot convince with fear. You may convince them with hope but Biden isn't that because Biden is the bad guy doing all that to Trump (in their view not mine).

It can mean "don't go against Trump" or "don't get caught taking foreign money" or "they investigate you already" (but only if he didn't lied about being part of FBI) it can mean anything. And as such it creates way too much speculation. It invites people to show what they wanne think/assume (see even I did that a couple sentences above). So please limit this until we have more context.

  908. Sorry David it doesn't work like that. Britain used tactical voting this time. It means some candidates from left-leaning parties stepped back to give a more likely candidate a chance to win against the Tories and Reform UK (right and far-right parties). The same was done in France. Center and Left coordinated some candidates and dropped out so only one non-right wing candidate remained. This doesn't work in America because there are only 2 parties. Edit: Okay to be fair. Yes vote-splitting can be a factor when you have 3rd parties/indendent parties/candidates involved but in America there rarly reach signifcant numbers so in the end it often goes to just 2 candidates from 2 parties.

  910. Right-win media convinced Republican voters this is only to keep Trump from the ballot including the court-cases. And more and more people want change but don't get it. Neo-liberal Democrats and the GOP largly just want to protect the status-quo because the system is perfect for the 1%. And they are the ones who donate to politicians. The 99% want change but don't get it, so some beginning to consider any change, no matter the direction and even considering that democracy is a failed model.

  921. Electoral changes are extremly hard to achieve because they require at least 2/3 of the Parliament and sometimes even include constitutional changes. If you as a party manage to get 2/3 of the votes you will be inclined to not change anything because it will cost you votes for sure. And if another party managed to get 2/3 of the votes they will not give this up either. So changes in peace times are extremly unlikely. So the only other option is that all opposition-parties form a pact which has only one goal: Electoral reform. This might be the only viable way meaning the opposition makes a pact to do just this and nothing else allow voters to vote strategical and to allow parties with different ideologies to cooperate because they all get something out of it. There is one country where you might be able to see this in reality next: In the UK. It is closer than ever to doing just that because people are sick to the stomach of the Conservatives and the unfair electoral system. To my knowledge no country ever managed to change it's electronal system without a war or civil war which destroyed the former system allowing to make a new constitution including reform of the electoral system Germany here being an example. I for one can't wait so see if a country ever manages it to achieve this in peacetime. I actually doubt it but I would love to be wrong about this.

It cannot be that the largest danger to the party are some party members.

You only get to know the challengers when you have debates and town halls and only then you have news coverage and voters realize there are alternatives they might like. By suppressing the primary you not only keep voters uninformed but you activly take their power away they only have every 4 years and you making sure noone get a chance at challenging DNC's prefered candidate. This is how autocracies work by giving people no real choice.

Question: Are there communal elections in New York soon? I found this all very familiar in London is also a "progressive" major and the conservatives in London, and in the UK Parliament and even the PM himself are trying their best to smear him to somehow get rid of him.

  953. There is a fix to this situation. A fix which does not require years of education or even starting from scratch. But it's currently impossible to implement because "the well is still poisoned every day". The solution is to stop the lies or better to implement more protections for the Truth in our society. Even people with low education can make good decissions when they are only confronted with truths. Best example for this are court cases as jury. The people listening all day to truthfull statements (mostly). It's enough so even their limited critical thinking is able to make good decissions. But as long as people lie without anyone pointing it out, as long as political opinion channels like Fox, Newsmax and OAN poisining the environment with lies there is only a little chance of this fixing itself. Mostly in cases when those channels go too far and people realize something is off. What we actually would need is some kind of guarantee that we are not being lied to and that people who do lie are responsible for the use and all consequences. Sadly at the moment this only happens when someone has a financial disadvantage through lies. We call this defamation. But we would actually need something better, something more general, something a little like in courts where intendly lying can bring you in serious jeopardy. And it would need something which is limiting Freedom of Speech. And since the only rights which can limit other human rights like Freedom of Speech have to be human rights as well my suggestion would be to implement a new human right a "Right for Truth" alongside "Freedom of Speech". Legally it creates a basis, a framework to make liars responsible for their lies. It will not end lying, but people who do better have a good explanation why and are in any case responsible for their lies.

And to be honest I would prefer hearing that before I make a cross or I have to live with the bad conscious of making a criminal president.

  957. Ignoring the pretenders from the right who want to keep Biden in because Trump only has a chance against him .... every other group wants to win against Trump. The people just debate what is the best way there. And what this episode is showing us is ... serious and constructive debate is no longer possible in America not even on the left. The trust is gone, even into the own political side. Dissent is seen as deception, ploys or even treason, people become blind and deaf to facts when they dislike them. And there are way too many emotions involved and not enough critical thinking. It is sad to watch. If not even the left is able to fix things with itself how do you want to fix things with the right? Trust is a core foundation of society. And all the deception, the misinformation, the lies, the broken promisses all erodes this foundation ... and here in this very example we see the endresult. We really need to protect and respect the truth more.

  958. My advice would be concentrate on one key state. Make a detailed analsis and recounting there to see who was purged unjustly from the voter rolls. If the numbers are significant bring it to a federal court to force a checking in all states.

  959. So you either waste your vote or let someone else decide? Either way you help the Republicans to win and I'm not convinced you like that. Am I agreeing with your assessment? Hell yes America deserves better and there are 10 or so Democrat Senators who are a real pain in the ass. I know it sucks but voting Blue is the only way to prevent it getting even worse.

  976. Careful. This is tested in the UK for half a year now. Something new from the right-wing. It's called "saying Heads and Tails". The source is saying both things shortly after each other. It creates chaos and undermines trust. It's much more destructable than it seems. On first view it's harmless because 50% of the time they say what you think, but on second view it leaves the viewer more unsure than ever before and forces them to trust nothing and noone. And the source can later say: "It wasn't them" (because they said both) or they say "We were right" (50% of the time). It's a way to be right if it's a success and escape responsibility if it goes wrong at the same time. It's the material to destabilize a country even faster than always lying. Not only incites this heated discussions between viewers about what is true and what is not, the chaos also makes people less confident and unsure of themselves and humans starts to trust only themselves and their own potentially distorted views and beliefs in those cases (Humans prefer a comfortable and/or exciting lie over hard or boring truth). The only known remedies are critical thinking skills, self-confidence and truth and all 3 are treated badly in the US for decades. In this case it may also be designed to encourage Trumpists to go even deeper into social media to potentially reach even more problematic channels than before. Don't think for a second this is accidental. The channel owner holding the reigns at all times. For Trumpists this is also playing with fire. Because they not only destabilize moderate people with not enough critical thinking skills, but they also destabilize themselves with this potentially to a point of no return even for them.

  977. What I don't understand is how Trump could be talked into doing the ethnic cleansing for Netanyahu? Is he really this senile and easy to manipulate to do the very thing Israel failed to do for over a year and which would spark outrage and political consequences worldwide perhaps even start a wider war in the middle east?
    1
  978. He couldn't imagine losing. I watched some documentations about Trump recently. And I'm now convinced Trump has seen the US as his company. And elected politicans as his employees. Noone votes the CEO out of his own company this didn't quite fit into Trumps mind. That's why he is in reality denial until this day. But no, that's not really why he lost, it may made him a little blind and careless maybe, but the real loss started when he downplayed COVID instead of playing "Americas Hero against this Virus Invasion" and take it serious and listen to the experts from the beginning and doing what would have been necesarry. A wasted opportunity and it costed him the election.

  979. Fox is not really dependend on advertisement revenue. They have carrier contracts with the cable network providers. Fox managed to make itself the 2nd most expensive cable channel after ESPN. While normal channels get something between 0,10$ and 0,30$ Fox gets 2$. Per Subscriber per month no matter if people watch it or not. Now there are 90 mio subscribers on cable networks but only 3 mio of them watching Fox all day. You can make the maths I guess. If you wanne help as a cable subscriber than remove Fox from your cable box. It might lead to the Cable providers to offer a smaller carrier fee to Fox or even cancel the contract.

  980. There was once a guy in a prison who thought about this: "How could people become like that." And he was executed shortly after for conspiring to assassinate Hitler. But managed to smuggle out his notes. His name was Dietrich Bonhoeffer he called it the "Theory of Stupidity" You cannot reach people like that with facts, reasoning or logic. They think on emotions alone thats why even otherwise intelligent people can be like that. Arguing with them can even make it worse and they might include you as part of the conspiracy. You may reach those people on the emotional level if you have a strong connection to them and they realize how their behaviour is hurting you. But this only works when the connection to you is more important to them than the topic of debate. And even if you manage to reach them emotionally than ask them only to suspend political news and commentary for 2 weeks or more. Maybe a vacation or holiday with no internet or newspapers and TV, or a deal in which they let it go just for this time. The idea is to cool them down from the anger and hate and break the addiction to news and even to anger. If you think they are somewhat reachable sit down with them and explain how it comes that you think as you do, where you got your information from and how but leave them otherwise alone and not force anything. Do not talk about their opinion and do not argue about their opinion just your own. Let them come to their own conclusions. And react only if they come to you and ask questions that's a sign that they are willing to listen. This is my personal strategy on this assembled over a couple years. I'm not an expert.

  989. Consider the approach called "Multi-Lateralism". It not only has the advantage of more international cooperation and with that more stability but can lead to more strength and less costs at the same time through unity. There is just one little thing on this the US might have an issue with: The US must accept to be only one voice in a chorus. A strong if not the strongest one, but only one amongst others. And it must live with the fact the this means sometimes there are group-decission the US not fully likes, but the group decided on together. Multi-Lateralism is the complete opposit of what the US was doing in the last 50 years ... playing world-police and doing most things on itself. US has full control on this, but also full costs and rarly help from the outside or even opposition (see Iraq-War). Multi-Lateralism is the only approach strong enough to keep China and Russia in check even if they make a Lateralism of their own. NATO is for all intense and purose a multi-lateralism approach but it was designed specifically for the Cold War and only for defense so it needs an evolution.

  990. But this is the very problem: Thinking "noone but Biden has a chance" is like a self-fullfilling prophecy. I think what this needs is a massive media campaign to show yourself. Something insane like Vivek is doing. He is talking 95% bs but he gets attention. Biden polls at 37% it's easy to convince Democrats to vote for someone but Biden but they need some reassuance that this candidate is trying and may have a chance.

  1002. You are scared to lose what you have. Completly understandable. You want what everbody wants, a decent life, not too much worries, good education, safety health for you your family and friends. And the protest are creating even more fear. The horror stories of communism feed to you by the republican party for 70 years makes you think the progressives will disposess your wealth and say goodbye to capitalism ... or at least create unbearable taxes for you. Well I can say it's vastly exaggerated to fear you into voting Republicans since WW2. The Democrats have no plan whatsoever to do that. But they will have to increase the taxes somewhat and for the top 5% of you extremly to stop the problems which creating your fears in the first place. And in return the protest will subside, public spending can be increased to fix the roads, bridges, highways, railways. Modernise the transport and infrastructure and reduce the risk of going bankcrypt when your or your family has a serious health issue. Increase security by properly fund police and fire departments. Increase and expand education potentially even free university for all? Isn't that worth some extra tax when all the anxiety creating issues are gone, you can life your live as you want with a little safty net provided by the state in case something happens to you and the quality of live overall improves?

  1003.  @MrHeavychevy86  So you decide to not even give them a chance to prove you wrong? And you actively prevent them to change things by voting against them? Do you know what a self-fullfilling prophecy is? When you indirectly lead yourself to the unwanted outcome you expect.

  1004.  @MrHeavychevy86  There is no Communism it's dead for 30 years. Noone not even China has it anymore or let's say in name only. Socialism is also dead for 30 years. Noone wants it it's a failed model and Europe is laughing what the US call Socialism. Even the most progressive democrat barely registers as something else than a Neo-Liberal (a Centrist). To simplyfy it for you: Even with Demcrats the US is not changing it's core design or it's economy let alone abolish capitalism. This is a lie told to you to fear you into voting Republicans and with that continue the establishment. YES Republicans ARE the establishment.

  1006. @ So you really think you can compare Pre- and Post-Covid with each other with any issues? The core problem is that only higher wages can offset times of high inflation long-term. And noone got raises according to inflation rate between 2019 and 2024 or did you get a raise by ~15-20%?

They even say it when Democrats have all power and it does not happen. So if you are "trained" to fear the Democrats which party do you vote even if you are not happy about it: The Republicans.

  1036. Inflation is not controlled by Biden. And wages are not controlled by Biden. The minimum wage is controlled by Congress (and state legislatures) which happens to be controlled - or should I say obstructed - by the GOP for over a year now. Do you want the government to control prices and wages now? This is done under communism/planning economy I thought America hated that one.

  1037. It's not so easy to compare. Britain has FPTP as the US but they have multiple-parties on the left and right which complicates this. In fact the voting system is hotly debated because it was so extremly unfair this time (Labour has only 33% on the public vote but 2/3 of all seats). And Britain is special anyway because of 14 years of Conservative rule and Brexit in particular turned out to be a big mistake. France has a proportional voting system and really a lot of parties and a particular splintered left and a very persistent right-wing which is family bussiness. The main point to take away from both elections is: Be careful of populism. It thrieves in times of problems and dissatisfaction and is currently riding high on the waves. Be careful of social media misinformations, bot attacks, potentially AI and targetted advertisements.

  1038. Prove it [before court] or shut up! And if you aiming at "moving to Georgia". 2 more votes hardly makes a dent in a race between 2,472,182 Biden votes and 2,458,010 Trump votes. For you that is 0,00004%. Covid alone will kill much more Trump voters until January (and Biden voters but maybe not as much because they are careful and wearing masks currently). How much? Hundreds until election day.

  1044. 1) Divide and rule/conquer. 2) "Chaos is a ladder" to 1: It's actually a little more complex. The real battle is actually between the 99% and the 1%. The 1% have a serious issue: In a democacy they have only 1% of the votes. So they need media companies to convince at least 50% to vote like them. So what to do? Divide the 99% in two camps and let them fight each other. Makes it easier to reach the 50%.

But at the same time the same media is pushing axiety, anger, fear and misinformation to direct the existing anger to anything the far right wants. This diverts the anger from the right-wingers and to something which is useful for them. Hitler used the same trick 85 years ago but social media makes it much easier.

  1069. The alternative to Biden is not Trump. Period. Voting means voting for the guy you disagree with the least. And Biden - with all his flaws - is still less disagreeable than Trump is. Would Democrat voters prefer someone better and younger than Biden ... sure but the DNC is not giving voters a choice about this.

  1070. A child-tax credit is a step in the right direction however it has a serious flaw: You only benefit from it when you pay a certain amount of taxes or any taxes at all. Much better would be what some European countries implemented a monthly payment for each kid. Germany for example raised it this year to 270$ per child per month. These are the things which really helps especially poorers parents, single parents, etc. and convince some of them not to abort a pregnancy.

  1075. There are only two options here: 1) Continue as it was. Meaning McConnel only passes what his donors want to pass. Meaning tax-cuts for the rich, deregulations of banks, finances, industry, dismantling of consumer rights and protections and worker rights and protections in order to maximize his donors profits. And of course no 15$ minimum wage. So the same which happened for 70 years now in the US and which is holding the US back from getting better. 2) Getting rid of the Filibuster or at least restrict it make it painful for lawmaker who use it to delay or block new laws and changes to existing laws. McConnel lose his only weapon his only power, the power of blocking and delaying. I think the decission is simple. The only reason why he is threatening now is because the Democrats are about to put him back to his place amongst the mortal. His current behaviour was showing he as a single senator of 2 senators from one single state in the US ... was able to stall the hole country and brought only problems and misery in his 50 years in politics. And he is not the only Republican Senator doing that. It shows the hole system of lawmaking in the US is seriously flawed. No wonder the people getting angry at politicians that "nothing gets done" with people like McConnel working as a roadblock with more influence than the House, more than the President even. Put him back where he belongs as 1 of 2 senators of 1 state from the US ... and not even the one with the largest population nothing more nothing less. The Senate should only confirm and Review what the House is doing but they currently have more power than anybody else in the US including the president.

  1082. Noone accused him of anything ... yet. For now there are suspicions and indiciations by his accounts and the things he told about the so called blackmail attempt which true or not would not free him from charges. However his old friend has 23 indictments waiting is now talking for a plea-deal to the authorities to provide them with a bigger fish. And I listened to a prosecutor today: There is the possibility Gaetz will do that too in order to get his ass out of an orange jumpsuite and deliver them with an even greater fish. However his carreer would be over. Even if he pulls out a pardon he did not told anyone about.

And the audience watching Fox Opinions is not able for that level of thinking thats why they watch Fox Opinions in the first place. Everyone with a shred of critical thinking is turning Fox Opinions off immediatly. So unless you can invite Kamala Harris and Invanka Trump for womans ketching on Fox ... Fox'es usual audience will not come.

  1086. You are wrong. Biden is a Corporate Democrat and with that not that much liked on the left he is half-way a Republican. But he does a worlds better job in being president than the imbecile who preceded him. Do we like all? No! Do we ignore things he screws up? No! Do we call it out when we don't like something? Yes!
    1
  1087. The problem is that Trump allowed them to live out their racism and anger to the different and their ignorance in public. Before Trump most of their stuff was suppressed by political correctness and society pressure to behave and control yourself. Trump destroyed this barrier by being the same and worse ... as president of the united states. That was so dangerous about Trump. Giving other the impression it's okay to be like that.

  1092. Question: Is there any chance Biden will introduce proportional voting (PR) in america?
    1
  1093. I think this is the problem. This guy is 77 and at the end of his career. His theories are obsolete and no campaign books him for advisory roles anymore. His book drops in sells. He is too scared to disappear so he tries desperatly to go on because he is afraid what happens when he stops. The same issue as Biden actually. And he never learned how to properly live this is why retirement is not an option for him.

  1096. People wondered how Germans could ever voted Hitler into power. Now the US know how: Exactly the same way Trump was and potentially still is and by a lot of lies, hatred and anger while the country was drowning in poverty and problems. The only difference: Trump and the GOP made the problems and the poverty Hitler only inherited it from WW1 and used it to grab power.
    1
  1097. Trump has the Whitehouse, The House, The Senate ... pretty hard claiming the Democrats blocked him somehow when he has all the power. Last time he needed to invent the "Deep State" to explain why nothing improved while having all the power. He will find a scapegoat again.

  1099. Do you see the Newsticker below it?! Two gun manufacturers merge together to a bigger company and they saying "Buy a gun now". This is fearmongering, profiteering and potentially even stock manipulation. They want that people buy stocks of both companies now because THEY already have their stocks and just waiting for the price to jump up.

  1100. Thats okay and fine ... until their choice hurts others. Their kids for whom they do this decission as well, or friends, family, co-workers, school-kids who contract Covid because they had their personal choice. The Freedom of your will ends at the point where the rights and freedoms of others are hurt. And that's the point where society must act even against personal freedom, especially if the life is endangered.

  1103. Be very careful. The Wrong-Wing often tries to reverse the roles and push the "Burden of Proof" to the other side. For one because they have nothing and because they are lazy. Don't fall for it. If they challenge something, they have to show how and why and need to convince. It cannot be that the other side need to make the work to validate what they want.

  1105. The really problematic thing is some of the stuff Trump is doing is starting to cost lifes, spreading fear and uncertainty. And this is where the fun ends. Airplanes colliding because air traffic control got some of their staff fired. Tubercolosis epidemic in one state ... and the CDC was ordered to silence is not good. Stopping the funding of suicide hotlines, help centers, medicaid temporarily and then even messing up the reinstatement causing worry and confusion. Trump is an uncontrollable and unpredictable menace.

  1109. China has even too many overqualified people. The one child policy made parents put all pressure on this one child and there is an important test you have to do. And the other is chinese workplaces work based on years on the job largely and they had too many young people and not enough jobs for them so they massively expanded higher education to delay the need for a job. But after a couple years they graduated and there were not enough jobs needing that level of education.

And some are so potent that even a small amount can be enough. Vice-versae a small amount can be benefitial it's a question of balance.

  1112. Question: Assuming for a moment there was a bribe to Joe Biden: For doing what? What is the crime? And would you risk your presidency for a couple 100k? Besides bribery is legalized in America (in form of "campaign contributions"). If this were illegal you would have to arrest 95% of Congress. For presidends the additional rule is no gifts unless approved by Congress. Trump did get 7.5 mio (that we know of) without asking Congress. What is Bidens crime?

  1113. Noone ever wanted an open border. And such a thing never existed in the first place. A normal border with normal checks and normal security to catch people who try not to go through border posts. Altough according the to refugee act of 1980 even that is okay as long as you go straight to the authorities to get yourself registered. Only if you want to live in the US without going to the authorities you are technically an illegal.

  1119. I'm sure Trump wants to be a hero/leader. But his personality flaws, age and incompetency and ignorance causing the very oppossit of what he wants to achieve. Plus he supports outdated and obsolete ideas from the 19th and 20th century which are no longer applicable. Trump just belongs in another century and the sooner he loses power the less damage he can cause to America.
    1
  1120. Funny I would use that to describe right-winger. I mean just look how little it needs to get them outraged and they constantly complain even if everything is as they want it they find a reason to complain. And Trump is the worst of them all. Trump even complains when he wins.

  1124. And on top they want to privatize this very profitable bussiness ... for decades. And a private company would be even easier to manipulate (e.g. losing/delaying mail-in ballots) than a public company. And DeJoy is the worst of the worst. He invested heavily in rivals of postal service and now is in control of the postal service. What better way to protect your investment by activly demolishing your competitors.

That Biden within 6 weeks of being president not only move into the White-House, make his Cabinet and Administration, dealing with Covid and Relief Packages and immediatly start building larger facilities within 6 weeks?

  1128. It's the first excuse from racists they gave to avoid admitting or at least saying they are racists even if just a little. Ask a racist if he is a racist you will get to hear "no i'm not i'm just against immigration." And if you ask a little further at some point you hear something which nails it. The economical argument about immigrants is difficult to measure. Immigrants are often young, healthy and willing to work after escaping from whatever they escaped from, happy to have a safe spot and a chance to start a new life. They are often more productive than some natives. Why do you think companies especially in south are prospering so well with immigrant workers. Why are the fields especially in the south are full of immigrant workers? They do what natives don't want to do.

  1133. I think most people have similar goals in life. Health, work, enough money not to worry about it, decent home, decent neighbourhood, safety, healthcare if necessary, affordable care and education for the kids and for the elderly, some basic luxury and an occassional vaccation. My problem is the rights ideas to get there were tried for over 45 years now and it is less likely now than in the 70ties so their policies clearly fail. And yet they still stick to it and even double down.

  1141. What Trump and in extension Maga showed is that the current system of politics is no longer fit for purpose and desperatly needs reforms. The honor-system no longer works in the executive, legislature and even the judiciary. The system simply cannot handle the destructive lack of scrutiny, transparency, accountability, integrity, decency and honesty. Trump showed the cracks and deficiencies lingering under the surface for at least 40 years if not even longer. It is now up to us to fix it, make it more robust, fair, free, open, transparent.

  1143. Quite unfair. It's called Income-Tax for a reason - to tax income. If you have losses from your wealth that's your problem of risky or wrong asset management, but it should not be offset your normal income-base. If the US want tax cuts for everyone earning less than 80.000$ per year I have three words for you: Progressive Income Tax starting to hurt at 80.000, Wealth Tax, Inheritance Tax (everything above x must be taxed progressivly) and Financial Market transaction tax to reduce speculation and make the fiancial market create tax income. 90% of people in the US will not notice any of it ... and the last 10% will notice it, but will not end on the streets by it and can continue their wealthy life as it is with maybe just one Tesla per year not 2.

  1153. Everytime a shooting takes place the companies the NRA is lobbying for probably sell another 10.000 weapons because there is more fear out there. Don't you realize it's an endless cycle for violence, shooting, anxiety, more weapons, more violence, more anxiety, more shooting and so. And the only ones winning here are the NRA, the gun companies and the republicans exploiting the fear politically to direct the anxiety towards foreigners, black lifes or the so called left (actually moderates) and to be able to say "we protect your right for weapons vote us". And to top it all of the criminal found and arrested are imprisoned in private prisons of companies payed by your taxes. It's an evil cycle of greed, fearmongering and violence.

  1155. This is why they pvrged the party from the people they labeled RINOs. But what remains has no resemblance anymore with the Republican Party.

  1158. I suggest you improve the wages of the volunteering professionals, the living-standard of military-facilities and help for veterans first to get more personelle. And stop funneling everything to private companies who are not interested in service but in profits and are always more expensive for less results.

  1159. You don't seem to understand "drop out" means replaced by another party member. The irony is Trump needs Biden to win and Biden needs Trump to win. Polls have shown any other Republican candidate and Biden loses and any other Democrat candidate and Trump loses. ... However recent events not included.

  1160. He doesn't care if his party is the majority or minority he just wants his "safe seat" and safe income, access to high-level donations for obstructing on the Democrat-side (same as McConnel). He is at best serving himself and at worst his donors which are probably the same who pay McConnel.
    1
  1161. How can anyone still vote Republicans? They are not intrested in policies for normal people. They are not intrested in Corona-stimulus helping normal people. They are not intrested in Infrastructure giving thousands of new jobs and pumping money into the economy. They are not intrested in safe, secure, fair and equal elections for normal people. They are not intrested in removing the things which blocks progress in this country. They are only good to appear in corruption-affairs, scandals, legal-grey areas, stir up hatred, division and ridiculous things to distract people from the really important things happening. And they are good in making things up and grow things out of proportion to make people angry and fearful only to promise to fix all this again a minute later ... if you vote them. But they have no intention to fix things they are even intrested in having more problems so they have more opportunities to promise things. Never noticed this? The only thing they do is promise, they never deliver. And the fix for the problems is always just around the corner. Like a bucket of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Now remove the inelligable people like asylum seekers, children, convicted criminals in some states and people who apply for citienship and you reach 245 million people who can vote in the United States. 90 mio people not voted in 2024. Is it so unreasonable that in one year some of them decide to vote?

  1165. Well the numbers are there. Why don't you tell us which state, we have a look for the numbers.

  1166. It probably backfires. Those who want this already voting Trump they will never be convinced to vote Biden anyway. But those who are on the fence will not like an inquiry without a case. Especially since Trump and some in the GOP already threatened to do this more often. Turning law enforcement against the innocent while letting the real bad people run freely.
    1
  1167. What America needs is a reset for politics. A new beginning. A switch to proportional representation like most of Europe has to allow for a true and fair multi-party system to have more than just 2 flavors ... alternatives. Which also brings more stability and less extreme policies and a switch from an adversarial system to a system of compromise.

Those are basic things everyone needs to know in the age of Social Media.

  1178. What we see here is called "Devotion". You can describe it as unconditional and blind following. It overwrites reasoning and logic and makes you only want to get attention from that person by any means necessary so you do almost everything for this person even if its damaging or dangerous for yourself, even the personal life is sometimes offered as you can see in religious motivated attacks. In my opinion the only way to sever this connection is to somehow show the victim that it never will get any attention so the person loses interest. But with reasoning, facts/truth you have no chances to convince those people. You might even make it worse because the person thinks you want to remove the chance for attention by your interference. You might be able to do something on the emotional level but this only works when you have a strong emotional connection to this person or the person to you. And the victim is not willing to sever your connection for the connection with the devoted person. Alternatively you can remove the person who is devoted. Turn off social media, TV. Go to holidays for 10 days or more. Twitter removing Trump in that regard was extremly helpful because people tried to get attention via Twitter and Trump kept the connection alive via Twitter. That's why for Trump the Rallys were extremly important to hold and constantly being on the mainstream media with "bad news" or "outrage" was also helpful for him, as well as Twitter of course. That is how Trump managed to maintain the hold over people and even expanded it. It's ironic, but by reporting news about Trumps newest mistakes, behaviour and whatever the mainstream news actually helped him without realizing.

  1180.  @shlockofgod  You kidding me right? You call this US system "highly regulated"? It's only a fraction of what the rest of the world is doing and look where it lead the US economy to an economic wasteland exporting jobs by the millions because there are no regulations preventing this or punishing this. Take your backwater obsolete and failed 20th century economics to your grave. It's time for something new.

  1181.  @shlockofgod  My point is: Another system might have created larger wealth. THIS is the great lie. Saying "It created huge amounts of wealth" while leaving out that another way might have lead to much more and much less problems. The point is it must create wealth for ALL not some extrem wealth for some on the costs of the other. In any case: 70 years if you leave out the World Wars which did not take place on american soil argueable for 100 years this system lead to so many problems today. And there is no indicator that even less regulation make it any better. There is one indicator who is showing how "well" an economy + society is working and how good the living standard is: The Income Equality. And the US is the sorry last place on this planet. Lay over the other socio-economic indicators and you can see a pattern.

It is such a simple and straightforward case half the country has seen the evidence already in photos the case could have been completed in 2023 if it weren't for Cannon. I think there is criminal conspiracy indictment to be considered here by now including Judge Cannon Trumps own personal appointment. Which is also new, that the defended gave the judge her job as if this wasn't just "appearance of conflict of interest" but actual one.

And polls actually shown that the people are willing to pay more tax if they get something in return for it.

  1188. Boris Johnson did the same last december to get elected in the UK. Although he is a Tory (Conservative) and the Tories are more than 10 years in government already they gave the electoral the impression "He is the new thing" and not in government although he was even before the election. And I also have to warn you: It works a lot of voters fall for it. The best thing you can do is: Point out the lies. As often as you possibly can. People must realize that they are beeing manipulated and being lied to. And try to appear as impartial as you can, if you appear too partisan those voters will see it as a football match and even accept and like being lied to because it's "their side/team" of the football match doing the lying. It's a real thing at some point they don't see it as a lie to them, but as a lie to the other side as strategy and they start liking that your side get enraged about it and overlook they are being lied to as well. Lookup "Footballification" and "People like being lied to". As someone analysing the psychological reasons for Brexit for a year now I can see it all the way through the Brexit referendum of 2016. And I have another recommendation for you: Work with emotions not with reasoning on Republicans. You cannot reach them the more you try to convince them with arguments the more you lose them especially since they cannot win on arguments because they are based on lies and they are almost always not able to argue adequatly and will only block up at some point. But on the emotional level you can still reach Republicans. Trust me, Brexit teached me a lot on this.

  1196. Germany generates 41,300 MW Solar Energy (2nd only to China) and 55,600 MW wind energy. And Germany is not really know for continuous sun and has almost no undeveloped area or even semi-deserts to be plastered with installations just by placing Solar Panels on Roofs. Every year Germany produces 27.2% Energy from Wind, 10,5% from Solar, 9.4% from Biomass, 3.8% from Hydroenergy. That's 40% renewable. 12.6% from Nuclear. The Rest from Fossil (Coal and Gas). When Germany can do this, the US can as well. And it created a lot of good payed jobs.

  1197. The Right-Wing Playbook 1) Wait for times with a lot of problems when people begin to feel afraid maybe even fear. 1b) If you can enhance the problems so more people feel afraid, fearing or having anger and make people more vulnerable for point 2 and following. 2) Ban, hamper, ridicule, discreat all information sources and people who are able to tell people the truth. This is a necesarry step for point 3 and following. If you can own and/or control the information sources so you can form the opinion yourself. 3) Give people a target for their anger, so they not by accident turn it against you or against something you don't want to. If you can try to make everything from point 2 a target as well. 4) Exploit the situation by leading the anger-crowd, fuel their anger so it may grow to hated. Make them their hero, their leader, so they give you money, power and control over them. 5) Maintain your position by repeating point 1b to 4.

  1198. There are two ways to counter this strategy - which is by the way used for millenia. Only the means and the scale changed through the centuries. A: Ensure there are no problems or issues making people (humans) feel afraid or threatened. Give them jobs, happiness, satisfaction, peace. The more you provide the less vulnerable people are. And make sure at no point people feeling "existential threat" which makes them open to the right-wing rulebook. B: Ensure Point 2 from the list above is not possible. Ensure the truth, have freedom of speech, freedom of press and make sure noone can lie without consequences and being responsible for the lies. Ensuring this mean the people can make reasonable decissions and direct the anger to the right target so they can be corrected in case strategy A already failed and there are problems or even fears already. See B as a security net for A.

  1199. Everyone loves policing as long as it is not turned on yourself. It's not my opinion but from someone else I recently picked up which provides an avenue to make people think about what they are supporting. If you want to convince people from something problematic reverse the roles. Give people an example when they would be policed and would experience the problems. And people quickly change their minds. In case of policing: Just for a moment exchange black people and white people. Imagine white were the suppressed and blacks would do the things some white currently do. Would you feel save with this kind of militarization? This is actually an aspect of racism and suppression and inequality nowadays. There is a ton of people out there who only support all of this because they fear if the black take over they will return the favor of the last 200 years. This is again a projection which happens so often on the right. A lot of people think police actions currently are some kind of preemptive strike to prevent them from ever coming into this position. People are feared into racism. And sadly it's not unjustified have a look at South-Africa. To counter this sometimes even intentional fearmaking it's very important that all BLM protests stay peaceful and that black people in power reassure that there will be no revenge or more white are "feared into racism." The problem will solve itself as trust is build up, but it will take time and good faith on both sides to end this prejudice.

  1200. The caller was repeating a lie. Biden actually enforced the boycott for companies supporting and building Nord Steam 2 and repeated his position that he thinks NS2 is a mistake for the Europeans. However this thing is 90% build already so it's unlikely to be not finished like this.

  1201. Actually the president can do more now since 9/11. The Patriot act and all is still there was never abolished. Bush was quite clever to use the opportunity to give him almost king-like powers. Have you ever found someone who was willing to give power back once attained? Especially a Republican.

  1202.  @ricardocabeza6006  I have news for you. The Legislation is making the laws they can do almost anything. They just have to change the laws. And when they decide weapons should not be in the hands of future mass shooter than it's their very right to do so and even their duty!
    1
  1203.  @ricardocabeza6006  I don't take advice from ignorant fools. Do you deny the Patriot act was abandoned under Bush, under Obama or even under Trump? Trump tried to be king he LOVED executive order with that he almost could rule like a king as he saw his position (or by just as CEO). If it weren't for those pescy courts - which Trump try to fill with Sycophants as well ... and what good did it for him. See Supreme Court. See Election Fraud Cases. Cases thrown out by Trump's own judges. And on a final note. I didn't say Exeuctive Orders are final. I'm well aware that those can be overturned by courts as it happens so often (luckily) otherwise the President would stand above the law and would rule like a king. And I never said anything about this. But the Patriot Act gives the president still unprecedented rights to use executive orders ... until the courts say otherwise. Why do you think Biden want to use them as little as possible because he knows they are at best a temporary measure and only legislation (= laws) make long term changes.

  1204. Manchin picks the easiest answer to get away for voting with the Republicans. I thought about this a little lately and thought: How in hell should Machin justify voting down 15$, HR1, Filibuster, Infrastructure to his collegues sitting next to him? He would clearly vote for his doners not for his constituance. And the response is maybe the only possible without outing himself as an Republican Agent. (I think even he is an agent of the American Oligarchy the counterpart to Mitch McConnel on the Democrats to ensure nothing gets passed they don't like.) However it's also not making any sense at all as David described it. You want to know what the real "establishment" is? Well THERE IT SITS.

  1205. Regarding the problem with unemployment. What America is experiencing are the negatives sides of unregulated free trade something the Republicans are very fond of because it creates them extreme gains by cheaply buying/producing outside the US and selling expensive in the US. And it's destroying jobs and the wired thing is the people buying those products in the US are indirectly financing the end of their jobs in the long term. This issue was early recognized by the EU that's why they changed their strategy. They allow extrem free even seamless trade without any tariffs or controls within their trade zone (The Single Market) with strong regulation forcing everyone to apply the to the same rules (The Level Playingfield) pushing for fair competition in the market but allow no cheating by importing cheap goods without the same regulation from the outside. And it's a sucess modell. For a lot of companies producing in the EU cost the same as producing outside (because of high tariffs) so they consider staying in the market and benefit from close/timely transprots and create jobs there and instead try to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. This helps conserving jobs to a degree. The downside. Every outside trade deal especially the free ones must carefully be negotiatiaed to not offset this balance. What I would suggest President Biden is taking one or two pages from the EU's experience with it introduce the same and arrange a Free Trade deal with the EU under those conditions. It will create the strongest and largest market on the planet and will be a new economic engine for the hole planet. The downside for the US: It must learn to introduce and live with customer protection, worker protections and worker rights, environmental protections, fair taxation and more consumer protection and regulation on the financial market to prevent new fiancial crisis like in 2008. The most difficult lesson for the US will be to learn, that not all can be let run free without sideeffects and sometimes a strong state is needed especially in areas which are or should be Non-Profit or base-needs like water, power, communication, transport (bus/rail/local transport), mail/postal, healthcare and education (schools AND universities).

  1224. Because Biden and Clinton and Obama all gave the missing document immediatly back when asked. Trump was asked twice and still not returned it. Then returned some documents while swearing under oath "that's all" but some were still missing. So they were forced to send the FBI. They found more we seen the photos. And the best of it: The national archives still missing documents to this day and we heared now from Ex-Trump employees he still has more and the FBI not checked all rooms during the raid.

And they refuse to listen or accept new or deviant informations and can even get aggressive on them.

  1249. It's the middle class scared to lose what they have. And seeing the problems and instability in the country no wonder they go into protection mode and believe any snakeoil-salesmen coming along telling them "I will protect you from that" only interested in the power and money it provides without actually solving the reason for the anxiety they have and making it even worse. The irony is, they don't really see this yet, but by supporting Trump they actually make it worse not better. However they will realize this only when it's too late and the problems overwhelm the country. Corona began to show this, BLM protests being violently suppressed by the state is another one of these that's why Trump stopped with this. They almost lost control of the situation and would have been uncovered how dangerous Trump and his men actually are even for normal middle-class citizens.

  1254. Biden is not just running against Trump he is running against himself against his own inadequacies. All his public appearances are now under a fine microscope and every fault or mistake will increase doubts about his abilities and in the worst case his faculties. And the other side will pick up this debate and everything which comes after and use it against him in ads and rallies. And contrary to most of the other stuff this is not a lie and cannot be denied because everyone witnesses it. Any denial will be seen as deception on behalf of the democrats who are already under doubt thanks to 4 years of massive propaganda against Joe Biden (not the Democrats Biden!). This is another argument for replacement. That with Biden going 4 years of propaganda against him would be voided and whoever follows him can start on a clean slate.

They pay Zuckerberg from facebook for targetted advertisement and to "adjust" elections and they help fund via pacs and superpacs the election of certain politicians.

This would allow more parties and force consensus among party-wings and parties, coalition governments and such things for more stable legislation and people can choose what they like. The democrats for example could split into social democrats and liberals. The wings are already there.

  1260. You have to live your own life. There is no rulebook how life is supposed to be even if culture, society and sometimes parents or relatives give you the impression you have to follow a specific pattern. You have only a limited time in this existence. Live every day as if it is your last (within reason) because one day it is and noone knows when that is. Find work and activities you really like and in which you are good at or want to be good at no matter what it is, things which makes you leaving the bed in the morning. If helping people with the law brings you satisfaction and fullfillment go for it if you only do it for money and would rather do something else and you see it more as a chore clients may notice and the quality might suffer and you are not really happy in life. With passion usually comes engagement and this in turn raises quality and effectiveness which usually lead to success. And find a way to avoid that you only live to work. Balance is key. If you not know what experiment. Test things out try new activities until you find things you love and enjoy it while you can.

  1264. The simple difference between Facts (which News should be alone) and Opinion is not known to most. They don't know there is a fine but extremly important difference. 1) One is fact or reality what happened or what is - the truth for a better word - and there is only one version of it all other variations are misinformation or lies if you prefer. Informations which are not truthful or also contain "views" (see next paragraph) which were either keept secret, changed or only partial given or worse completly made up. THIS IS FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. Getting the full, unchanged, honest information without changes, additions or omissions. 2) The other is a view on those facts, an interpretation, an opinion on those facts and how to proceed from there, what to do next, how to react to it or an evaluation how bad/good this is. There is only one version of facts out there, but everyone of us can have his or her own view on this or even multiple views. And linked to this is FREEDOM OF OPINION. That noone can force their opinion on you. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. also guarantees you that you can say your opinion without getting punishment for it. But this is NOT giving you the rigth to lie or manipulate about the facts (see first paragraph). What's important here is: If you disagree with the opinion of someone else, it's a disagreement, not a lie. And since everyone is free to have his or her own opinion you can only try to argue/convince them otherwise. But lying has nothing to do with it (unless the person actually lies about the facts). And channels like Fox or Newsmax who call themselves "News"-Channels are actually Opinion-Channels. And they don't want you to know this fine difference. They want you to think both is the same and with that ... that the facts have different versions which is never the case. And to make you attack everyone who disagrees with your opinion by making you feel attacked on the facts. They want to have THEIR version of the facts ... so you get an opinion/view to THEIR liking. This is the great manipulation. And why do we know this? Well because channels like Fox have argued before courts with this excuse. They actually admitting before a judge, that they are only giving opinions (#2) not facts (#1) ... but they call it "News". Legally this get them off any kind of repercussions because well Freedom of Opinion. See how this connects now. If people don't see the difference the "News"-channels and people like Tucker Carlson got away scot free because they tell you their opinion (#2) and you think it's facts (#1). Another problem is: There are a lot of rights for opinions (#2) but there are no strong protections for facts/the truth (#1). There is no punishment for lying (besides lying to courts), there is not even a right for truth. The only point when courts make a ruling on this is when someone has a financial damage from a lie, or another disadvantage or any of the other rights is hurt. But the truth has very little protection. And I think it desperatly needs some. My suggestion is introduce a new human right: The Right for Truth Giving all people a right to know the truth and make all people responsible for the lies they tell if they lie (because they hurt the rights of other people). And with the status as human right, it can limit and override the Freedom of Speech meaning you can have any opinion you want, but you have no right to lie to others. If you do you are fully responsible for the consequences.

  1265. The US media landscape and obviously also Biden is unable to deal with the amount of lies coming from Trump. Trump found out it is easier to hide behind 10 lies than 1 so he uses them whenever it pleases him as long as he tells things which raises "his ratings". And according to himself ratings are everything.

  1266. When you see the ballot as a scan can you see who it belongs to? In other words can they get the info who voted what? If yes than this is the perfect tool to gerrymander, to start targetted advertisement via Facebook and Co and potentially even for voter intimidation. Seriously how can the US allow this to happen? Don't you see that that nothing good comes from this. Today you laugh tomorrow you wheep.

  1273. Prolonged exposure to reality has this effect yes. And the longer and worse it is the harder media and politicans have it to talk it away. In fact the harder they try to lie about that the more doubt you get until the spell is broken.

If you just want to hear what you already believe go to Fox News or MSM - although funnily just now this is not possible if you want to keep Biden ^^ ... I have to say I find the whole episode soooo funny on all the channels. This small debate opened up a new perspective on the left. Some call it Blue-Maga. But I realized the same problem which exists on the right also exists on the left some stubborn almost cultish behaviour leaving out ratio and logic. I understand now better why America has so many issues in politics because the Democrats play with their voters as much as Republicans with theirs. Their is gaslighting and manipulation on both sides and there is only a small percentage of people who actually realize the problem and avoid both traps.

  1281. @Sez B Cancelation itself is not good or bad it just a part of life. You begin things you end things. It depends on what you cancel if it is bad or not. The same is true for almost everything else you do. It depends on what you do if you are acting in good or bad faith. If you want to cancel racism, bigotery, inequality, dishonesty, poverty, corruption and so on what's so bad about it? In the meanwhile dignity, decency, honesty and integrity was "canceled" by Republicans and even some Democrats with barely anyone calling it out or even giving it a name. I take up your point to a degree that they want to ridicule it so people turn against it thinking we want to end the good things which need to stay. On the other hand have you not noticed that in the current environment denial is as good as admitting it for them because facts and evidence hardly counts for them anymore. Even the absence of evidence is counted for them as evidence. So the best way in my opinion is to take what they say and turn it against them and prove by your own actions what YOU actually want to cancel and why and that it's not a bad thing quite the contrary.

  1282. Wow he really desperatly needed the answer to what "Critical Race Theory" is so he can say something about it. Dear fellow humans: It's absolutely okay to say "I don't know". It's not humiliating or shameful. It's the start of knowledge and perhaps wisdom. But pretending to know and even appoving or disapproving without knowing THAT is humiliating and shameful. EDIT: Oh and it's absolutely okay so to say "I don't know. I don't have an opinion." once in a while. You don't need to have an opinion on everything.

  1283. Confirmation Bias - If you hear something often enough from different persons humans are inclinded to believe it's true. Especially if you share this opinion and like it. Why do you think all right-wing channels, Republicans all say and repeat the same lies over and over and over again. Because if you say it often enough people think it's the truth and - and this is the worst - begin to help spread this. People are litterally convinced that a lie is a fact and made to spread this. Infecting family, friends, co-workers and the more widespread it is the more people believe it's true.

  1289. You cannot achieve a multi-party system by offering a 3rd Party for election. The only thing you achieve is splitting the vote on the side which is more likely to consider introducing a 3rd Party and ironically making it even less likely to achieve it. That's why so many trolls try to convince you to vote a 3rd Party because it achieves the opposit. Introduce a real Proportional Voting System and you can have as many parties as you like.

  1291.  @billithekat1088  The political compass in the US is completly misaligned (to the right) but that's the plan. If you make people believe the right is center/normal then everything even slightly normal is left. Add to this a constant fearmongering of "The Left" and people actually think everyone "normal" is left and it helps keeping people away from "normal" because people think the "normal" is the end of the world. Result: Trump and Insurrection. This misalignment is in progress for decades almost half a century already starting with the Cold War after WW2 and created an intrinsic fear from "The Reds" (aka Communism). In addition to that people can only think in black and white it seems. Democrats or Republicans. No shades of grey and worse: So called "Footballification" meaning "all who are not in my team are hostiles" and "all in my team are always good and always right". Both dangerous habits and easy to exploit as Trump as proven. This simple world-view is used for centuries to avoid responsibility (I was only following orders) and to make people overlook that in every group there are good and bad people, that's why everyone needs to be evaluated individually, not by race, color, gender, sex, religion, class, wealthy and so one because bad apples are to be found everywhere, but the right-wing bad apples hide in the masses intentionally because they made it extremly easy to hide among them under the cloak of "patriotism".

  1292.  @BarnacleBoy42069  I know this is not Europe but having a wider perspective is showing you how distorted politics in the US actually is. If you see something from only one perspective you may think everything is "normal" because you seen it all your life like that. You never realize that what you see is actually bad ... because you don't know it any other way.

  1293.  @timothysmith1838  What's the difference between a liar and a total liar? ... on second thought don't even bother every answer you could possibly give is wrong. You need a wider perspective! Someone telling you the truth is not lying only because you don't like it. And it also makes it not a lie just because you don't like it. Keep in mind: There is only version of facts/news ... the truth, but multiple views (= opinions) on this. You can have your own opinions, but the facts never change not for me and not for you ... you can only have a different view on it. You can of course decide to ignore the facts. That's called ignornace. If you know the truth and still decide the facts that's called willful ignorance. Lying is by definition someone who knows the truth (or decides to ignore it) and still tells lies about the facts. Learn the difference! The sooner the better. If you don't like what I say this means you disagree with my opinion, but disagreement is not lying. When I tell you false facts or change or leave out facts ... that's lying.

  1330.  @bubbs313  Maybe. But elections still happen every 4 years not every 8 years. And every 4 years you should have the decission if you want to keep this president or not. The DNC just takes the 2nd 4 years to stay in their jobs they would lose when Biden is not re-elected. This is as much about the people around the president as about the president himself. And this invites corruption and takes the power from voters away who are asked only all 8 years.

Europe had 2 world wars which totally turned societies upside down not so in America. And the 1% learned a long time ago you need to keep the 99% busy and distracted with each other so they cannot join up against you. And Democracy made it necessary for them to convince 50% or more to vote like them so they bought newspapers and television channels and now social media to achieve that.

  1334. The Republicans are evil. Everyone want free, safe, equal and fair elections. But they use the lie of Trump to convince people that "something must be done" so they do something. They make the elections more vulnerable to manipulations without people noticing they use the lie to smuggle in bad laws. And the worst of it the people believe Republican doing something positive while rigging the election. This is double evil with a double lie.

  1335. What you call "Deepstate" is the American Oligarchy. It exists indeed for at least 40 years maybe even longer reaching back into the 19th century and the time of the first US millionairs. It consists of a group of Oligarchs, these are extremly wealthy, extremly good connected individuals from the billionaires in the US. It's not really a secret there are even books from reputable authors about it not sounding like an insane conspiracy believer. But they sure tried to stay in the background influencing the country by donations, good connections and favors and by sending selected personell into politics to both sides actually. People like Rupert Murdoch and the Koch Brothers are assumed to be part of it. Maybe you should ask Joe Manchin about this or Mitch McConnel both have the same employer. However the Republicans are their house-party. They always pushed them, helped them with money, connections and influence. However as you see by Hillary Clinton, Munchin and others the Democrats are not totally outside of their reach as well. Ask yourself: What is the most reliable way of ensuring nothing gets passed you don't like? Answer: By controlling both sides of the Isle. Now who is against 15$ minimum wage, Infrastructure, HR1, tax increases for the wealthy, Wealth Tax (!!!)? Who makes problems with environmental legislation, Green New Deal, more regulation, more worker rights, basically everything which costs employers more money or limits their ways?

Heavy tax increases for 5% of the population to prevent the system from falling apart and closure of Income-Tax loopholes. Closure of corporate tax avoidance.

We don't have the 19th century anymore. There is no danger of a british takeover anymore and other countries around the world have proven for almost 100 years private citizens don't need guns to be able to live in even saver environment than in the US itself. The guns itself makes it less save it causes the very problem is was introduced to solve.

  1354. The Republican Party sealed it's fate the moment they acquitted Trump in the 2nd impeachment trial. They should have used the opportunity to make a final line under Trump. It might have hurt a bit, but they would have had 4 years to fix this. Now Trump will rip the party apart piece by piece in order to stay relevant and to fix his bruised ego and to try to not leave this world as a loser. Add to this the incoming generational change (retirements) and so on in the next years ... and the Republican Party will not even closely resemble what it was ... ever again. The best thing America can do now is let the current Republicans disappear split the centric wing from the Democratic Party to form the new Republican Party. They still hold the values of the Republican Party and they have no place among the Democrats anyway. I would also recommend the US to think about changing the system into proportional voting. This would allow a multi-party system and coalition governments and such things. It would improve the representation of the public according to their preferences. It would give legislation more cooperation on policy and therefore more stable lawmaking. It would end gerrymandering, disporportional represenation in the parliament and a lot of other side-effects of First Pass The Post. It would also allow the upcomming of new parties, e.g. a Green Party, a Party of Bussiness, an extreme left and right party maybe a real Trump-Party as well. And everyone can vote who they want. Vote-Splitting is not an issue anymore.

All extreme forms of Religion or Beliefs have a tendency to be discriminating, ignorant, uncompromising and close minded. And unfortunatly this is all enforced even to the point of violence due to uncompromising and extreme positions.

  1359. I think this is deliberate and mostly coming from the frige left-wing channel which pretend to be left but are actually right. Those for whom income is slightly more important than the truth. How often do I need to see those "Haha channel xyz has currently z live viewers" and all this rubbish.

  1360. Well to a degree it is. The people fueling Trumpism come from the wealthy middle-class. They are by definition middle-aged to old. Having a good job, house, property, wealth, kids potentially grandkids, wanting to preserve what they have for them and their family. So you find a lot of Boomers in there still trying to help their children in the future by supporting Trump in the hopes he returns the country back to old times (which will never come back again, but they don't know it yet. Either the country changes or it's doomed to continue to decay).

  1361.  @brakthalas  Look the main reason why I don't like the word "belief" in this context is you should not belief something, you should know and you can. You cannot prove god, but you have factual political information ... and from there you make your opinion. Besides belief is unsuitable because belief can also be religious belief which has far too much additional things attached. The very wording already show how screwed up politics already is because people don't even know the basics. They believe what they like and don't believe what they don'T like. They think without check if it's true. A recipe for disaster because reality is not all sunshine and sometime you actually absolute not like reality. Still no reason to belief in something else instead just to ignore reality.
    1
  1362.  @brakthalas  I don't confuse them but as I pointed out it can mean it. That's why I suggest to use a more precise term for this and to keep "believing" out of it no matter if you mean believing in religious terms or in matters of fact. And Opinion is neutral.
    1
  1363.  @brakthalas  I knew you would stumble over this at some point. Precisly because you don't fully know the basics. Explain to me how can there be multiple versions of the Truth/Reality? There is only one real thing which happened. Unless you thinking in terms of multi-versum when in another universe something else happend.
    1
  1364.  @brakthalas  Well. Someone liking something or not is an opinion and everyone has a right to have their own. I knew you would stumble over this. You don't realize the difference between facts and opinions. The fact would be that Person A likes blue. And another fact would be that Person B don't like blue. But those two statements are facts not opinions. And when I would lie I would say: Person A does not like blue although he does. You can only lie about facts not about opinions. But hey ... good example. Try again.

  1366. This behaviour is called "Devotion". Like devotion to god or a prophet or a religous leader or even to the person you love. It makes you blind for all the problems and failings of this person. This person is the only thing that matter and the person can do no wrong and you defend it against all and everything even if this person betrays you. You cannot argue on that basis and all facts and evidence is rejected.

  1367. More "Moderate". Thats the wrong attribute. More "Corporate"! Brown was funded by Corporation PACs and even some Republican leaning ones. If you think the "center" in American Politics is moderate you fell prey to a con. A well place one I have to admit and one reason why America has improved so little over the 40 years arguably even worsend. The real issue was, that Establishment Democrats put all efforts into preventing another progressive entering the Congress. One with a rather larger large mouth who will always place People before Corporations and Career. Brown promised to be quite, obediant and do whatever Establishment Democrats want from her. In a way they managed to introduce another Sinema into the game. And that some Youtuber who pretend to be Progressive Left activly made propaganda and even spread misinformation against Turner including the Hillary Clinton stuff did not helped either. There are Social Media jockeys out there who actively help the Establishment out of poor selfish and potentially greedy reasons. The sad truth is: Elections are won by media and campaign money, and Brown was supported by millions of Corporate Dollars. And people still swallow whatever Facebook or MSM (who helped as well) serving them without checking it.

  1368. I think there are three essential things we need to work on: 1) I made a mistake / was wrong -- when you were wrong 2) I don't know / I havn't made up my mind -- when you don't know or not know enough and also 3) I changed my mind -- It is okay to change your mind when the facts change

  1369. Even if they somehow manage it and provide convincing evidence of a crime worthy for impeachment it doesn't help Trump. Trump will still be remembered as the president with the most impeachments in American History and the only president who has civil and criminal indictments.

  1371. The top 1% paying only 7% income tax on average while normal people pay between 17 and 22%. How is this fair. You cannot think in absolute numbers here. Someone with 400k or more hardly notice a tax increase even if it would double. Do the same for poor-people and they go bankrupt. So what. Then the wealthy cannot get 2 new Teslas every year just one ... still one more Tesla than normal people who can only buy a car every 6 years or so.

  1372. And with that you talked about one flaw of real Socialism and Communism. That people at some point had no choice anymore. Eastern Germany had real Socialism and for some years it worked well with motivation to make things better than before. But it was a one party state and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And Planning Economy the idea to control economy centrally by the party by a "plan" (hence the name) turned out to be inefficient and wasteful. Things got worse making people leave so they build a physical wall to prevent people from leaving and at some point even started shooting at people trying to leave. The dissatisfaction about things created anger and protest so they introduced an intelligence network to not only watch other countries but to watch their own dissatisfied citizens right down to the point of neighbours snitching on neighbours. To further reduce dissatisfaction they took over the little media available (pre video pre internet time) and made them party-propaganda full of misinformation to give people false impressions. And the political party involved itself the education system. Made something like the 10 Commandsments of the Bible just for the party and socialism which kids had to recite every day once. And forced all kids to join political youth groups. Religion was not forbidden but suppressed as it was seen as undermining the believe in the party and the country. This happens when you can no longer deliver and people get dissatisfied and you try all and everything to stay in power. However not all was bad. Living was relativly cheap, everyone who needed a place to live got one, healthcare was free, childcare was free and widely available, education was free and pretty good for the time and if you ignore the political indoctrination. There was some baseline luxory but not much. No travel to western counties but you could visit eastern europe but interestingly not the Sovjet Union (without permission).

  1375. Good point. Trumpists tried to take credit for things EVERY president would have done. And as you know you don't get bonus points for doing the minimum. And you also not getting credit for not doing something. Some people actually wanted to give Trump the peace nobel price for not starting a nuclear war with Iran he provoked. Ridiculous.

We need you onboard and back as an ally and friend to deal with a world gone crazy, we need to get Covid under control and the economy back up and we have barely a decade to get a grip on climate change before it will be a runaway. And for that we need reason, decency, compassion, respect for experts and cooperation, not lies, division, hate and anger. We wish you the very best today and in the next days. Please choose wisely.

  1377. Those are Trumps camps. He reduced their size so things gotten so bad. And Biden is barely 6 weeks in. What do you expect. That Biden instead of dealing with making his government and dealing with Covid instead immediatly start building larger facilities and being ready in 6 weeks. What the right-wing media currently shows is actually Trumps legacy.

  1378.  @OPsavaging  Good to hear. But there were more important things. Covid for example, Vaccination, Financial help. Things which also costs life but not lifes of new citizens but of current ones. And you cannot change the system this quickly. You cannot extend or improve the facilties much in that amount of time.

  1380. Hegseth will be confirmed. The Republicans have the numbers and don't care about suitability only not to make Trump angry. The Democrats doing their best exposing how bad he really is by asking good and valid questions and exposing what a terrible job the FBI done on his background and security evaluation but Republicans are blind and deaf to this and simply not care even if this can be a major risk to America or Americans. They serving Trump not America even if the job description and oath says otherwise.

  1381. Mega-Tantrum with Projection Deluxe. This is telling me, the Truth got them already they are just not willing to admit Trump was a major mistake. Especially since they helped the former guy to get into office and invested so much support, time and potentially even money into the former guy who just exploited their ignorance and trust in him.
    1
  1382. The issue is those people have conflicting informations and the human brain is not very good dealing with such rifts in reality a state called Cognitive Dissonance appears. People are not rational anymore, they stop thinking and start feeling more and they are even able to say contradicting things in the same sentence. The brain just can't deal with this. What those people actually need is the truth and trust. And both are under constant attack in US media. Fox and right-wing Social Media is telling them lies and telling them not to listen to the other side anymore. They hear all day only one side which adds "Confirmation Bias" to the already bad situation. It's important to somehow stop the lies. Protect the truth somehow. Challenge all lies. Trust is more difficult to make. It cannot be attained quickly and needs time. I for one think it's time to protect the Truth more in our society. So I for one demand a new human right "The Right for Truth" parallel to "Freedom of Speech". It's the only way we can continue in the age of Social Media. Truth creates Trust and Trust creates Certainty and Safety. Even the weekest minds in our society are able to make good decissions if they are only confronted with the truth. And education. People needs to learn how to get information reliable, how to confirm information, what is a fact, what is an opinion, basic technique to filter, sort and work with information and methods to detect lies and manipulations and about critical thinking. But this takes time. Probably too late for this generation, so the at least the Truth should be protected somehow. But this is impossible with Channels likes Newsmax, OAN and Fox around throwing all off all the time.

  1401. Short Term: Vote, Tell other to Vote no matter how hard they make it. And protect left-wing voters from falling on the lie for voting on Independants/a 3rd Party it only makes sure Republicans win. Mid Term: Ban Fox, Newsmax and OAN. Introduce new laws protecting the Truth and maybe even consider introducing a new human right: A Right for Truth to create a legal basis to make people responsible for their lies. Long Term: Improve Education. More Media-Lession, Working with Informations and Social Media, Basic Principles of Debating, More Truthful History, International History especially of Facism, Critical Thinking and as much knowledge as possible.

  1402. I can understand that when you watching Fox all day you more or less get brainwashed and angry and I could even understand why if it were true and probably would react the same. But I know it's a lie therefore my anger turns towards her for telling the lie and to the watcher for allowing them be manipulated in that way and later help spreading this over the social media, family, friends, co-workers and so on basically helping them to spread the lies. And the more people hear it from different sides the more likely they believe it. That's called confirmation-bias believing things just because multiple sources saying you the same.

  1412. They want to pretend everything is normal and okay. The mask is a constant reminder that things are not normal. First they complain to have to wear mask and everyone wearing one made them angry against the state and thought "those poor people are forced wear them" convinced by media and state. And now that people no longer have to legally but do voluntarily this all falls apart. It destroys their world view on this. All the conspiracy theories around this makes no sense anymore when people do it willingly even if they don't have to.

  1413. The lesson bussiness still has to learn is that "social" is good for bussiness long term. But it is hard to calculate because the benefits takes a) time and b) comes indirectly to you by effects coming from society and market not necessarily by paychecks although this is a sideeffect of this. You simply perform better under "social" money wise, stability wise, workforce wise, growth wise. It's a more predicabtable, a more reliable and a more sustainable bussiness model. But it takes time.

  1414. You cannot convince them with reasoning of facts at this point. But one possible solutions is to stop the lies which keeps them in this trap of lies and mistrust. Protect the Truth more. Cherish it, elevate it, make clear for everyone that the current situation only appeared because we have way too many lies in society. Maybe even make "Getting the Truth" a Human Right to have a balance to "Freedom of Speech".

  1420. If you got the minimum wage and the immigrant besides you get the minimum wage, what's the difference? If your employer pays them not the minimum wage and lay you off instead because you demand minimum wage your employer is criminal because noone can go below the minimum. And if you cannot live on the minimum wage you get. Your immigrant co-worker has nothing to do with it, he get the same miserable minium wage. The wage is just not enough, or your employer is too greedy. Or the Republicans laws they made are unfair to you. But your immigrant co-worker did not made those laws and cannot change anything on this. Unless you two go into a trade union and demand more pay. Or vote Democrats to get more minimum wage, more working protection and more worker rights. But instead you choose senseless anger and vote the very people who keep everything as it is. Don't you realize. Getting rid of your immigrant co-worker doesn't change a bit.

The GOP does what the 1% want in return, but they need the middle-class to vote them. So they tell the middle-class what they want to hear, but in the end only the 1% get something out of it. In the view of the GOP you wealthy middle-class guys are useful idiots for them so they stay in power. And as long as you keep believing the lies from them nothing will improve.

  1423. For Trump supporters Trump is the incumbent since Trump managed to maintain the election lie and half of the country thinks something was wrong with the last election or at least have doubt. How does his model work when you have two incumbants? And: Does he really think people will attribute Bidens achievements to Kamala Harris? Naive!
    1
  1424. And how does this affect the outcome. Biden still had 83 mio votes. That's 8 mio more than Trump (for you this means Trump's 6 mio extra and another 8 mio on top of it). More than any other president before including Trump.

  1428. Consider proportional voting. It can change everything. But it will also help the right side of politics so prepare for new challenges. However it will also allow a complete new menu for voters. Not choosing between 2 but between 5 to 8 parties. So you can in theory vote the progressives in the democrat party directly, or the establisment in the democrat party or the moderate Republicans or the right-wing republicans or Greens, Liberals whatever you prefer. This is like a McDonalds extending his menu from just 2 menus to a hole range. However be warned there might even be a Trump-Party appearing with this.

Still not quite like in most of Europe but better than the UK that's for sure. And I agree with your assessment. The US is lacking the courage and imagination to change things for the better by going steps which seem radical for them, but worked out well outside the US. And for a sad reason they not often look for examples and experience outside america and consider learning from it.

  1435. Ask any wrong-winger you like. You are bombared with the same statements, the same wording even but when you ask question you don't need long to find out there is no substance behind it. People lost the will to think for themselves, they drown in informations and have not the skills to deal with it, they trust their channel and only repeat what they heared. It's treated like ammunition in an information war and Fox is the ammunition salesmen and their main brand is called "Misinformation". They spread this ammunition across Social Media where it replicates itself until it's everywhere and confirmation bias ensures everyone thinks this is the truth. This is how modern information warfare works.

  1442. What a rubbish! Have you even any idea how large the yearly bill for the military is on it's own? This here is hardly making a dent and is an investment which immediatly returns the money by more bussiness and more tax by better infrastucture and because more people have jobs. Your personal balance or that of a company is nothing like public funding. If you don't have a clue just shut up about it.

FYI: I somehow still hope for a 1929-like stock crash so the financial market is reset to healthy levels and lose it's importance and it's character of a modern sofisticated casino and return to the role it originally had a supportive roles as capital generation for the real economy. Maybe it really happens in the same year just 100 year later. And I hope paying in crypto-currency is banned in America and the EU rather sooner than later for reasons of climate protection due to mining, tax avoidance, tax-fraud, circumvention of trade sanctions, payment of terrorism and illegal weapons trade and a ton of other reasons. Don't let the door hit you in the back.

  1448. "Good" or "bad" policies is the wrong wording on this it's "popular" vs. "unpopular" and sadly most good policies are things you probably don't like first but are better in the long term or for the whole of society.

  1449. Just be very carefuly. They will try to exploit this as an excuse to introduce censorship in favor of Republicans if they can. If you not be careful and allow this country to change like it is in China you go to prison 2 hours after you write something harmless like "Xi looks like Winnie the Puh". Imagine someone writes "The Orange Guy is laughable" anywhere on the internet and 2 hours later the police is taking you away for questioning, intimidation and a forced confession on camera for public viewing and threat to your family if you don't shut up. This pretty much is the current situation in China.

But on this it was simple. I know both stories well and they are not that complicated. However one has to do with equality, decency, fairness, awareness and systematic discrimination and the other with the definition of gender and the difference between biological gender and emotional gender. I'm sorry but I cannot see a connection unless you want to start talking about misogyny or transphobia.

  1456. People think or were given the impression you can turn gay or trans by just being exposed to content talking about it or somehow being convinced to turn by people. It's either ignorance or misinformation or actually intentional disinformation to build-up fear and hate. You feel it or you don't there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it. What can be done however is trying to ignore this feeling and activly pretending otherwise. But you will never be happy and probably end up in bad releationships or worse mental problems all your life. And you will inevitable hurt people emotional and maybe even physical around you when this frustration and anger about this suppression of your real feelings breaks out of you.

Your money for paying off his campaign and personal debt by making you donate for court cases and keeping 50% for himself ... and by actually really trying to steal the election with courts. Shame on you guys for undermining and betraying your country like that and falling for this fraudster Trump.

This Cannon case could have been finished last year already it is one of the most serious ones and simplest. This Hush Money case was the least serious trial of them and soon is sentencing.

What is so difficult in assuming they had live animals in the lab and a researcher got infected while working on these animals? The infection was underestimated or not recognized and not got properly contained as it should have been. The authorities don't wanted to lose face to the local government and the local government from the central government so it was downplayed and underestimated on multiple levels as it was by Trump as president in the US.

  1465. @Soda_and_me "Good"? Hard to say when you don't know what would have been possible. I would say decent and better than most presidents before him in decades. He took America out of the Covid-Pandemic and managed to fix a lot of things back to pre-Covid levels. His economic numbers were good the consumption-side of economics still has serious issues. But people wanted more and he was more interested in leaving things as they are (before Covid).

  1472. Fearmongering and fueling hate and anger. They want the anger of the people for which they have more than enough reasons to and noone can blame them for that, they want to direct the anger away from the Republicans creating the circumstances this country is in. Why? 1) Well first to avoid actually getting the anger they deserve themselves. 2) Enforce the prejuduces against immigrants 3) Use the anger to get elected once again 4) Use the election to pass laws on sthe side which makes them richer and/or their donators by tax cuts or favorable laws The things is although they promised "to deal with the problem" they are actually not intrested in them being solved because they get elected as long as problems are there. That's why those politicians always talk about the future, always only promise things but in the end never deliver.

  1480. Good point on the metrics of economy. GDP is or even GDP per capita (head) is no longer a good indicator for a well economy for one reason. Income inequality. It distorts everything and somehow needs to be incorporated to have a true represenation for a good economy. Need an example: Sure. Imagine a country has a GDP of 1 mio and only 100 people. Last year it was a GDP of 950k so we have a 5% growth sounds fantastic. But one of them is making 990,000$ and the other 99 making 10,000$ together. GDP looks good, GDP per capita looks good (10k), growth look fantastic but the income inequality is extreme. This economy is only good for 1% ... like the US.

Are they really so ignorant to assume the "paper" is the only thing which matters? What's with the voter lists, what's with the serial numbers. If this would be possible and as easy to mess up the counting by sending fakes than people would already tried this in the last decades. Even assuming noone checks the mailin ballots: Unless you send in tens of thousands of extra letters you hardly have an impact anyway and at the same time thousands of voters suddenly wonder why they can't vote anymore it would immediatly be detected.

They get rich while all this happens no matter who is in power and the donations keeps flowing and everytime Republicans are in a majority they even get extras. Who is the loser here and who is paying for everything - the normal people no matter if you are Democrat, Republican or Independent. And all because people are unwilling to give Democrats a longer period of time.

  1517. I think Biological Evolution for humans is done. It happens in ranges of 100,000 years or so and humans are significant for this planet for only 12,000 years since we started to construct buildings. We now doing culture evolution and soon engineered evolution ... simply because humans are not patient enough to wait for nature. For humans the biological evolution was replaced by cultural evolution. The more successfull someone manages in society (mostly wealth) the more offspring they tend to create. Sadly also people who can bully, cheat and scam more successfull tend to doing better and procreate more. But it's even worse sometimes otherwise biological good genes are not given to offspring because economical and financial inequality may lead to no offspring and loss of otherwise biological good genes. People who have affinities to be geniusses or artists may go under in society simply by a lack of funding and compassion. The filter of cultural evolution is totally different to the filter of biological evolution and constantly changing. In short we created an environment in which people who adapt better to culture and better manage to exploit it for themselves with potentially problematic and weak biological genes procreate more. Selfish, criminal behaviour and greed leading to more wealth has higher chances of create offspring. And we may lose people who are intellectual, artistic, empathic or maybe good leaders because they not doing well in a society based on money. We ruining our genepool and maybe sealing the fate once culture fails and we are back to biological evolution. But something new has come up as well engineered evolution. Our scientific progress allows us to manipulate our own genes. And humans have not the patience for biological evolution so they will unavoidable start using this technology to fix and enhance things biological evolution would take millenia to do. And this will create a new form of evolution in which engineered and not engineered humans compete against each other in the environment of cultural evolution. Basically what nature done with neanderthals and homo sapians at the same time will now happen with different engineered human species. And I am not looking forward to this prospect. The potential unwanted side effects may create the end of humanity by over-engineering with unintended consequences.

Maybe it's not deadly for your career now, but it sure will soon and than you whish you never mentioned him.

  1527.  @happyland4524  Having private stuff has nothing to do with "freedom". And privatization for core services is a failed model. 9/10 turn examples turn out to create more problems than they solve. The profit-motive is incompatibel with core-services because a lot of them cost more than they make gains e.g. because they are in low-density areas. There is absolutely no reason why a public institution or nationalized company should not work as well or better than a private one. Quite the contrary you don't need to make profits and can concentrate on running on cost you don't need to pay a board you don't need to pay dividends. You should still pay decent managing and efficiency observers.
    1
  1528.  @bryaneverett9850  It makes no sense why. You can have the same incentives private companies have in national owned ones. Pay big wages for management to get good management. You can even pay them bonusses for doing better than expected. And the best of it: They are not rewarded for making maximum profits/dividends but for maximum efficiency.
    1
  1529.  @bryaneverett9850  It doesn't have to be. Sorry you not coinvinced me. I don't see any reason why the same reward/punishment system of private companies cannot be applied to national companies. And I don't suggest to nationalize all, only the core services of society which by extension are always problematic because they are by necessacity not always profitable and the profit-motive also have impact on the quality of service and reliability: Water, Power, Local Transport, Waste-Disposal, Mail, Communication, Education, Healthcare, Childcare, Elderly Care, Housing (partial)
    1
  1530.  @bryaneverett9850  Not profit ... wage and bonuses. The point is to keep the profits in the ownership of the people so it does not flow out on some tax heaven island but stay in the company for investment, maintenance, eventually bonusses for employees above performance and fair wages keeping up with inflation. And the rumor that public services are more expensive is what it is a rumor. I repeat myself: There is no conclusive argument why public owned companies cannot work the same as private owned. It's the same process ... just another owner ... and with the focus on results ... not on profits.
    1
  1531.  @bryaneverett9850  Workers don't get profit, they get wages. Wages are running costs for the company. It does not really matter if the company owner is public or private. What does matter is that everything above the costs the so called profits do not flow out of the company as it is the model with private companies. And I repeat myself again I do not suggesting to end market economy or to end captalism just to make all core services which makes a society continue public to ensure maintenance, expansion, full 100% coverage (even if it's unprofitable (!!!)), reliability and low-cost. All things which all other companies who can remain private rely on and are essential to their success as well and which a society needs to survive. All your arguments are shallow and lack substance and are strongly painted with a pure capitalistic doctrine. I can't help you. I pity you somewhat for being so indoctrinated on principles that you seem to be unable to consider alternatives or mixed models as I do to have the best of both worlds. Thanks for the debate.

  1553. Some people do not really care what they say they just want an emotional reaction from you. And they say whatever has the best chance of achieving this. They are called Trolls. And this is the precise definition of a troll not what most people using it on ... calling everyone who they disagree with a troll. That's not it this would just be disagreement. And there is a reason why people say "never feed a troll" because every engagement with them is pointless. Remember they say whatever makes you aggravated what they say is not what they personally think and they will switch opinions instantly if it helps them getting you aggravated quicker or stronger. Stay away from those people. They have a tendency to enjoy suffering of others and any argumentation is pointless and a waste of time.

  1563.  @Competitive_Antagonist  The money comes back in corporate taxes, income tax of BioNTech employees and potentially by VAT. State finance is a tricky thing and often the money comes back indirectly. The only reason why this somehow doesn't work in the US is tax avoidance and way too low taxes for the wrong people/companies.

  1564. Thank god. The US don't need any more dead people due to Covid. I wonder how many people have directly died from joining one of Trumps rallies.

  1565.  @independentmind7782  I agree. A god does not makes mistakes right? But I want to continue to pointing out when Biden is going into the wrong direction. How can you critize someone being revered as Trump. Trump said at one point he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and would still being voted and being liked. That is not okay, even saying this is not a joke or funny, it shows someone deeply corrupted and evil.

  1567.  @lisabaratta9666  I can't wait seeing him trying to prove that before a court. Besides that Georgia is losing Trump voters every day to Covid probably much much more than people intending to move there. And quite frankly. Should the govenor not care about Covid right now? Or is he still in denial?

  1573. The question you actually have to ask is: Will young, progressive and black voters vote Biden again or will they not vote. Biden won in some states only by a couple thousand votes. Do you want to risk the end of American Democracy on encumbancy? Trump also run on ecumbancy last time remember.

  1574. If you fear someone you cannot respect someone. It's mutual exclusive you can have only one or the other. If you fear someone you pretend to respect but it's only a play. And it's a brittle hold. The person who fears you will always trying to find a way to get rid of you or to flee or allow that you make a mistake or something is happening to you or conspire against you. Fear is very unreliable.

  1575.  @rexwilson315  Stalin is actually a good example for what I have written. Stalin was feared but despised. The people around him pretend to love and like him and laughted at his jokes and whatnot but they were all just afraid to end on this lists. In the end one of those close allies replaced him and removed his memory and history largely from Russia. Lenin was treated much better because people respected and revered Lenin.

  1579. The 11th circuit appeals court which would do this is extremly conservative filled with Trump-appointed judges. You need twice the amount of material/severity to convince them to do something againse the GOP/Trump. The only thing they would not do is risking their own jobs. The other thing is. Technically you can impeach a judge in Congress. But with the current GOP majority in the House and the only 50 Senators of 60 needed it is practically impossible. She thinks she is untouchable and sadly it really looks like that.

  1582. There is actually something to this. It's called the Investor Syndrome. I'm sure you all know it. You are convinced with a little invest you can make a million by investing just 1000$ into a goldmine. You pay and a little while later they want 100$ more because of new problems. And since you already payed 1000$ you are much more willing to pay the additional 100$ more. The same is true with Trump. 5 years of your life you believed this guy and every word he says. And over the time the lies got worse and worse. But since you invested so much time and maybe even money (donations) into Trump you continue believing him because the alternative would be to admit you have been conned and betrayed on the extreme. You don't want that of course so you decide to ignore or even fight everything which undermines your beliefs because it cost you so much already.

  1583. First you need to even be citizen. So illegal and people who waiting years for citzenship are not among them. Than you need to register. So in other words EVERYONE able to register lived at least 1 year since 9/11 more like 3 years in the US, payed taxes and is a legal resident. The live under the same laws as everybody else so why should they not be able to vote?

It makes you like Love blind and ignorant of shortcommings, mistakes, lies and you want to do everything to please the devoted and leaves you completly open to manipulation.

  1593. The fate of the Republican Party was sealed the moment they acquitted Trump in the 2nd impeachment. The Republicans said this day there were okay with Jan-06 and it doesn't matter what they said in a speech afterwards, their vote counted and almost no Republican voted for it. I would even go so far, that the only real old-style Republicans were those who voted with the Democrats against Trump. All others are sycophants who placed career and Trump before country. And the Republicans wasted a golden opportunity to draw a final line under Trump and to finish the chapter. Now Trump is poisoning the well as long as he is there. He didn't changed and still repeat the same lies over and over again because his bruised ego is incapable to accept defeat - to accept he lost - that he is a loser. It goes against his very ego just read his history about him and his uncle to understand why Trump can't accept defeat, why for Trump only the win counts not how he gets it. So he cheated, pressured, intimiated and extorted people all his life into making sure he wins no matter the cost no matter how ergegious or even criminal he has to be. Just listen to the people golfing with him and the way he golfed was the same way he made bussiness and made politics. The Republicans now cannot get rid of Trump and they cannot further support Trump both is costing them voters because either the Trump Supporters turn against them or the moderate Republicans for whom Jan-06 and Trump was too much leave them. They are now doomed. There is no way this ends well. Unless they return to making good policies as it was before 1970. This is BTW the only way to redeem themselves. They must get rid of Trump finally and start making policies for the low-class people the ones not donating to them every single time. If not Trump will cotinnue to strangle the life out of Republican Party.

  1600. The timing is not coincidental. Originally the sentencing would have happend shortly before the election but the judge delayed it until after the election so it would not look like election interference. Trump got so many leeways here already. He was treated like a king already with so many exceptions just for him and now even gets away with no consequences at all.

  1614. Why is the tax regime not controlled by the federal level? Same tax rules for everyone should be the rule. No wonder Republicans are to so hard to root out and some states are so deeply red. The fact that the rich and wealthy can just switch states to escape taxes is ridiculous. And now I also understand why it's so hard to get rid of them in some states because the rich and wealthy just need to pay one or two state governments to get their low taxes. ... or should I say to get tax rules which suits them and screw over everyone else. Why America? Why do you allow yourself to be so screwed by the extreme rich so much? No wonder the problems are mounting nothing really improved in almost 100 years. It only gotten worse every year. And all because you keep voting the wrong people (Republicans) and because you allow them to frighten you and allow them to manipulate you so you vote AGAINST your own interests and vote them. And you keep believing the lie the world would go under when you vote someone else than Republicans. If you really are so gullible you deserve what you vote for ... just more misery. How much more corruption, how much more insanity, how much more problems do you need to see before you realize that the root of all your problems is and always was the Republican Party.

Because superich billionaires like Murdoch can't stand people of their class supporting the taxing left-wing or people of their class caring about the lower classes and donating to humanitarian causes. They see him as a traitor to their class. And they probably don't like being reminded that they could care more about others but don't do so. He makes them look greedy and like a-holes. Hence they paint him as a supervillain to make him stop doing that.

  1622. The hypocrisy of Republicans is not funny anymore. When they are in power with record debt making and stagnating the economy inflation is hardly mentioned and when Democrats actually do something to enlarge the market and the economy any spending is immediatly seen as a problem. When Conservatives are in power they clean out the public purse reduce spending in order to reduce taxes for themselves and their donors to unhealthy levels, which in itself increases the problem because it even reduces the revenue so next time you need even more debt. And if a Democrat want a billion to repair the roads which creates delays worth billions every year the world is about to go under. And their money ends up in private accounts which have absolutely no benefits for the economy. Only money in the cycle of money is useful for an economy not some private accounts you need to wait until death of the owner before it returns into the cycle.

Reducing the usage of oil will certainly change the trading and importance of Saudi-Arabia in economical sense and regarding trade. Strategically Saudi-Arabia was always a potential "base" in the Middle-East but all conflict more or less started with the issue of oil. So how will this change? And how will the future in general of desert countries in the middle-east looks like with a large reduction in oil usage?

  1629. Change to proportional voting. It kills of gerrymandering and the unbalance weight of votes depending on the density of a state.

  1630. Gerrymandering is rigging elections. And Republicans made even illegal maps now. Changing the election laws so the result can be overturned easier is prepation for stealing an election ... no matter the result. Changing the number of voting offices in area which vote blue more likely is rigging an election upfront in your favor. Throwing out registration without telling the citizen about it is also rigging elections because the affected people cannot re-register in time. Replacing the people who doing the vote and counting with Maga-loyal people is risky if not even dangerous. Reducing or even ending the possibility for early voting make voting harder. Make mail-in voting illegal or highly restricting is making voting harder. There is nothing conspiratorial about this because it all happend already you can read the laws made or changed in the states especially purple ones. There are court cases out there suing against the illegal gerrymandering but the courts are Republican-friendly and pushed the decissions over it after the election so an election is happening with an illegal gerrymandering potentially invalidating the whole election in this state later (and I guess when one of the parties is not satified with the outcome). There are grounds for concerns here. Because the

  1635. You clearly need to make a little more research on Brexit. I've analysed it over the last 16 months in depth. The people who have racist tendencies, who voted Brexit, who voted Johnson are the middle-class formost the South- and Sout-East of England the Tory Heatlands which are now also the Brexit Heartlands. Because they think the foreigners will come over the hills and take away what they have while living in 98% white national villages in their houses and barely seen one. The same is true for the US. I mean who are the classic Republicans? White middle class wealthy who thinks the poor and foreigners will take what they have. The Republicans (and the new Tories in the UK) exploiting this fear and anxiety to grab power. And it works so well because this class has more than enough money to pay for their election. Statistics have shown in the UK the more mixed the population gets the less xenophobia there is because people live with them every day know that most of them are decent human beings just wanting to live like they do. I would however agree about the 1% owned media, which is especially in the a UK a problem. They stocking the fires of ignorance with misinformation and shifting public opinion. However they do it for power and influence and simply to make money by pro-bussiness, low-regulation and low-tax policies - same as in the US.

Even more precarious is. DeepSeek seems to use Nvidia Core AI chips which were delivered to Singapore and disappeared there only to be used in the learning model of DeepSeek. These chips are sanctioned for China by the US. ... There is always more to the story than it looks like.

Gas prices will hardly drop. Have you ever seen companies reducing prices? Why take less for the same if you can have more. What can they actually promise what isn't there ... answer imaginary things solutions to non-existing problems hence why you need an imaginary open border, imaginary terrorists storming the hills, imaginary trans-people corrupting the youth, crimes families and Democrats who want to turn America into Russia ... oh one second that's Trump he admires Putin.

  1650. Yes because their donors running amok on those taxes. My advice to the Democrats: Get rid of those people, they are a danger to all policies and their blocking will only ensure the Republicans will be voted back into office. They are DINOs.

  1652. Sadly education changes are slow to implement and need 10 to 20 years to take effects. The fastest innitiative would be to stop the lies. My personal suggestion for that would be to introduce a new human right: The Right for Truth. This right would make everyone using lies responsible for those lies because it infringes on the rights of others. This in turn would make lying media accountable and lying politicians accountable ... if they lie (and it's proven before court). And everyone would want this right ... except the liars. Even the deepest conspiracy people would want this right (they want to know the truth right). So a win-win situation for all ... except the liars. Another advantage: Only human rights can override human right. The Right for Truth would limit people in using their Freedom of Speech because as soon as you start lying to others you hurt their right for Truth. This would fundamentally change society and politics because if you lie a little too freely you are sued.

  1659. Trumps reaction on Germany was because he can't stand Angela Merkel a woman and a woman in power. She declined his G7 in-person meeting due to Corona he wanted to hold in Mara a Lago (probably to prop up his hotels finances) and since then was holding a personal grudge, but it was not the only time for friction between the two. This was his real personal reason and fits right in his flawed personality. Excactly like his denial of the 2020 vote. Add to this that Trump has good connections to American Weapons Manufacturer and/or has stocks in them and wanted to use the excuse that Germany not quite reach the 2% budget for NATO to make Germany force buying american weapons. Of course he doesn't know that Germany is by constitution not able to buy offensive weapons and nothing nuclear. Result of the 2nd World War. Again, a childish personal reaction from him. At the same time all strategic advisors and the generals told him it's a serious strategic mistake since those bases are not for Germany anymore, but for Eastern Europe and Ukraine and for NATO in general against Russia and as a base from and to the middle-east and to shorten the route for medical transports and logistics. Little Remark to this: Under the line Germany is even paying more every year in absolute terms into NATO than the UK (imagine that all this money is in defense only) but Trump probably didn't know that either.

His donations are microscopic against the sums the right-wing gets from billionaires. Besides the little fact that he is 94 years old and more dead than alive.

  1669. State (Politics) and Religion should never be mixed. It creates endless problems and the Republicans only use it to get votes they don't really care and quite often Democrats are more "Christian" than Republicans in their policies and in their actions. Passion, Empathy, Dignity, Decency. I can't find that anymore among Republicans or their policies. I can only see selfishness, greed, dishonesty, sloth and pride. Remind me what were the sins in Christianity.

  1670. Have you seen the video about Trump Voters and vaccine in Boulder Colorado? The opinion is already turning against Trump day by day. He astonishingly now is labeled "only a liberal New Yorker" and "why should they listen to him." And the more corruption of the Trump-Administration becomes visible the more people will remove their support and even claim they were never Trump-supporters in the first place. What currently looks like Trump being King-maker could finish the careers of all who end up on Trumps list. It's poison not holy water what Trump is spreading around. I don't mind. All Trump sycophants are the worst of the worst of Americas politicians and should never be allow to be politicians let alone Senators in the first place. It's just a bunch of greedy, corrupt, selfish people who place themselves before country.

  1671. It doesn't need much even for a Republican voter to become a target for them. You just have to disagree once and you are declared a traitor. Just look how quickly they throwing former loyal partners under the bus.

  1672. Why did Trump lose in 2020? Well Trumps mishandling of the pandemic impacted peoples lifes and their families. And as much as they hate liberals when it impacts them they prefer them over a chaotic guy. Same as with schools. They may hate the liberals but they prefer their kids being teached by a smart liberal than a thick redneck.

  1673. Republicans recently had a chance to pass a bill to help US veterans ... they voted it down. Of course you will hear such things never on Fox. EDIT: Oh and all Republicans voted on the Ukraine Funding bill in a split second. Because it makes them richer. The money is used to buy weapons for the US military, the old weapons go to Ukraine and the weapons manufacturers in the US get a big contract creating ton of dividends which goes back to the politicitians who voted on those bills and accidentally have stocks in those companies.

  1674. Because accepting Trump is a criminal would cause a mental breakdown. They sacrificed years to him, donated to him, listened to him, helped him voted him, defended him. Families broken apart over it, friendships, collegues people you know. And if it turns out all the time they supported a conman, a criminal and someone who destroys America from the inside they will feel a betrayal on a personal level noone ever seen before.

  1675. There is a simple test to see if false equivalence or bias is involved: Invert the roles and ask again. Imagine Hillary would have said: "Maga supporters are v-e_rmin" how would you have reacted?

  1676. I just wished more young people would use their right to vote. No wonder Trump gets away with suggestions like that when only 1 in 5 young people vote. If you not vote they don't care about you. And they will always pass policies that hurt you because they know you don't vote anyway or in revenge against them.

  1681. Hardly any other topic divides society as much as this. It's even more effective than racism. Of course they are obsessed with it. They don't really care about it and some are probably privately themselves part of this community without telling anyone (Hypocrites) but it's perfect to make even moderate persons picking a side and divide society with this. And that's the point of this. They want people to pick a side here, even people who didn't really mind either side and were neutral on this ("everyone should decide for him/herself") are forced to pick a side. And for some who normally would prefer to stay neutral on this or simply being not intrested about this debate might have issues standing on the side of pro ... but really feel a little uncomfortable on this. Same on the other side. This topic removes the moderate center and divides people.

  1682. ​ @gm9460  The Problem is that the Anti-Side tries to implicate that everyone who is Pro-LGBT is automatically LGBT. Which is rubbish of course. But this alone makes a lot of people anti-LGBT although they don't really care and would rather leave the community be and allow everyone his or her self-determination about this. If you are a politican in the US it's even more problematic because of fundamental christianity. Need an example: Show me a Republican who is Pro-LGBT. I'm pretty sure there are Republicans who are LGBT, but not in public because it's by definition impossible. Normally that what we call Hypocrisy. It's one of those topics which forces you to move your position although you would prefer you could stay where you are. And it's actually not a really a political topic but a social a societal one. That's why it's so divise.

  1683. My god what's so difficult to just give it a simple slogan in 3 words? Have you learned nothing from Trumps Era. Unless you can put it in three simple words the masses are forgetting it within 3 minutes. Call it "Improve the police" or "Reform the police" to keep it simple and straight. The person first using "Defund the police" had obviously planned to manipulate the people to "fear" the people against the democrats by giving them the wrong impression or in other words lying to the people. If you not learn from the mistakes leading to Trump and the things Trump made you are doomed to repeat it and worse next time. This is what I fear now happens with Biden. Nothing was learned from Trump. They keep doing what they done before Trump as he never existed. Change nothing and keep doing what they done ... enable another Trump. If they not seriously change policy and pick up some things from the progressive left next time America will lose democracy for sure. The democracy needs more protections. The elections needs more protections. The constitution needs more protections. The presidency needs more restrictions. The emergency rigths of the president must be overthought. The impeachment of the president must be be overthought. The transition of power between presidents must be put into law. The combination of The House and the Senate must be overthought to prevent stalls like now with 600 bills in limbo. The role of the supreme court must be redefined to stay out of politics and legislature. They are the judiciary, they are watchdogs of law and democracy and the constitution not a 3rd arm of the legislature. It needs new rules for presidents usage of social media. It needs new rules for speaking the truth by legislatures in the parliament and committees. Not only the witnesses needs to be sworn in but the legislatures as well. The postal service needs stricter rules to prevent the repeating of the autums disaster. The elections laws must be partly federalized to prevent politicizing the process in favor of a certain party. The filibustering must be abandonded. The party donation system must be completly redefines to keep outside money influence out. The party financing system must be completly redefined for more balance and less outside money influence. And if you ask me. The hole election should be changed into a proptional voting scheme. Abandon the 2 party system. Allow more parties. Abandon gerrymandering and financial influence via budget. Allow coalition governments and changing the model to a cooperative and consensus based decission making to enable more stable laws and governments.

  1688. Why is the GOP no longer able to create decent, integer, honest candidates? All of them need to lie, exagerate, use rhetorical and oratorical tricks to lower the perception of message and raise the perception of emotions or are outright crazy?

  1697. I think it's much more straightforward. Most of these politicians already send their kids to private schools and they hope it reduces costs for them personally. They don't care about other people or their kids. The same debate is happening in the UK right now regarding plans to remove the tax excemption status from private schools. They complain about a 15% VAT price increase (money going to public schools) while other familie cannot even afford dedicated beds for their kids.

  1699. Interesting idea actually. Canada joining the EU. I mean a lose Free Trade Agreement is already there. It would be the next step or at least joining EFTA. But good luck explaining that to your neighbour who will be very mad at that. And the EU might actually have an issue because the EU standard is even higher than that of Canada and even much more higher than the US. That's why the EU and US never managed to find a basis for a Free Trade Agreement ... but who knows maybe Biden is a little more reasonable and would be willing to increases worker rights and consumer protection, food quality, envrionmental regulations and so on ... to EU minimum levels. This would pave the way for closer trade relations.

  1700. No because everyday we see evidence for the opposit. Just watch his speeches, watch Jen Psakis daily White House Press Conferences to discover what's going on. It shows a completly different picture and makes your statment simply unbelievable. But make no mistake here, we recognize that he is old and not the fittest anymore but he is doing well so far. We also recognize that not everything is good, but we criticse him for that. See that's something Trumpists can't do. They cannot say something bad about him no matter what. Thats called devotion and not simple loyalty. And it's rather dangerous for you because it makes you easy to manipulate.

  1703. 1) "There" not "Their" 2) "are" not "is" 3) some word is missing I think "here" So I guess you wanted to say "There are no Biden supporter's here only Trump haters" right? Not quite there are some like you. I have a question in exchange: What Do you personally have from Trump? What did he do for your personal life in those 4 years to make it better? I don't know you, but I already can name two or three things from Biden and the man is just 70 days in office.

  1704. Do you think Biden can take a hit of 14 points by Marrianne Williamson?

  1706. Only Congress but Congress is currently controlled by the GOP they will never impeach a Pro-Trump judge. And in the Senate are also not enough votes for an impeachment. She is practically unfireable the best we can hope for is that she incriminates herself or that the case is at least given to another judge.

  1708. Trump managed to keep the election lie of 2020 alive until today. Half the country thinks the last election was not correct or at least have doubts and think that's why Trump lost. For these people Trump is an incumbant making Biden's incumbancy null and void.

  1709. Ridiculous. First of all before the USA is not adopting proportional voting like almost all of Europe it will never be a true democracy simply because the people representation in parliament is not fully according to percentual votes/voters in the country it goes after constituancies after a winner-takes-all-approach. An archaic system more than 85 years outdated from Great Britain. In worst case 49% of a constituancy are not properly represented in parliament because it's the other party. And voting other parties is more or less a waste of a vote. The next thing is that this voting system more or less only allows just 2 parties leading to just two large parties with so many political different wings in them that sometimes people having issues voting their own party. Proportional voting would allow the breakup of giant parties in smaller wings according to their nature and allow every voter to vote for a party-(wing) of his or her choosing. Left, Social-Democrats, Green, Liberals, Conservatives, Right. This will profoundly change law-making in the country and ensures that the parliament is actually representing the people and that law is made for the many not the few.

  1710. MSM was worried because of the donors who threatens to pull money from the campaign with Biden (money which will go to them for ads). They just want their investments save and not bet on the wrong horse so to speak. They not want to lose their investment. Incidentally this fits what most voters want but for another reason (to avoid fascistic tendencies under Trump). Your prejudices towards MSM (usually justified I have to agree) taint your clear thinking on this instance. We accidentally want the same result for different reasons.

  1719. Crimea is full of Russians because the Sovjet Union made their vaccations there and had their holiday homes and because Crimea housed the Black Sea Fleet of the Sovjet Union therefore a lot of military and ex-military Russians lived there. But it is still Ukrainian territory. In New Mexico and Texas live a lot of Mexicans and Spanish is spoken all around. So the southern parts of both states should now go to Mexico because of that? This is the logic Putin is applying to Crimea and Donbas. On Donbas it should be noted that Donbas has a lot of heavy-industry the coal, the iron and other rare metals like Titanium. It also has a lot of industry and generating 30% of Ukrainian exports. Why do you think Putin is sending Russians there for years to live there?

  1720.  @TJtheHuman  NATO is an invasion insurance policy with a simple motto: An attack on one is an attack on all ... Only governments who seek to invade are against NATO. NATO was activated only once in over 50 years and that was after an attack on one of it's members on 9/11. ALL other military conflicts might be done by some NATO members but not in the name of NATO or according to NATO's founding principles. A problem of NATO is the rule that you must spend 2% of your countries GDP to your own military spending each year to ensure in case the forces are needed to protect you or another attacked NATO members and countries seeking peace not war have an idealistic problem with that ... but still like the protective nature of being a NATO member. And Putin now proved to the world that NATO is sadly still needed with people like Putin, Xi, Edogan, Assad and others still around who seek to conquers and invade. If we get rid of governments who still want to use military conquest to get richer and expand we can consider dissolving NATO.

And America fought to get independent from such people.

I would not even mind watching Right-Wing media more often when they would stick to the Truth ... but I barely stand watching longer than 5 minutes because I constantly detecting lies and manipulation attempts making me angry. Not because of them lying to me I can see them but because they lying to people who cannot see it. Frankly I don't know how people with low or no critical thinking skills and only some baseline truthful knowledge manage to defend against them.

  1735. This is nothing special. Mediocre at best. And most happened without Biden. Congress is making the laws not Biden meaning this is all thanks to Democrats not thanks to Biden. Bidens role is just to sign the laws and execute them. So why not get an even better suited Democrat. Someone younger, someone with more energy to challenge the GOP and Trump someone not beholden to Corporate Money? Why being satisfied with "more of the same"? Use your imagination. You can have all the points above and more with a better president.

  1739. It should be said the Biden campaign does everything to suppress Democrat primary challengers and to ensure people are not even aware that there are challengers. And MSM is a willing accomplice in that by giving no footprint whatsoever to challengers they are not even talked about. In some states the DNC even used their influence to not even have a primary vote after trickery with unannounced deadlines. And they called states democrats to remove all challengers from the ballot (even the natural born ones). I have to say this is not okay what the DNC is doing there. If the founding fathers wanted that single presidential terms to be 8 and not 4 years they would have said so. Biden should publicly and openly show he is fit, able, speak about his policies and goals and explain in debates why he is the right man.

  1740. Before you know it Manchin wants that we do what Trump says. Manchin is a Republican agent. A collaborator. An appeaser (appeasement policy). He does not belong on the Democrat party no matter how many donations he secures. He is a threat to his own parties future for all Democrat Senators.
