Would you choose it over being run over by a car, shot up in a Walmart, shot up at church, shot up at temple, shot up at synagogue, shot up at mosque, stabbed to death by a fellow student, stabbed to death in a subway, etc., etc., etc.?

@g.e.o.r.g.e... The student also offered to open the building door with his key. He offered the cop everything he could, and the cop refused to accept it. He wasn't doing anything wrong, complied as best he could, and only then carried on with his business when the cop didn't accept anything. He didn't deserve to be harrassed, in the first place, for picking up litter.
But, the cop didn't ask the white guy. You're speculating as to how people may, or may not, have reacted on an alternate timeline. I also doubt the cop harassed white folks he saw out doing yardwork. If he did, then they should release those body cam videos. By percentages, there should be twice as many videos of white Americans being harrassed doing daily activities by cops, if there's no profiling involved in these kinds of situations.

@truthache8560 The guy re-uped, after already retiring, when he didn't have to.
Maybe you are thinking of Vance, who stayed stateside on his couch, when his unit went to Afghanistan, then stayed stateside on his couch, for 2 more years, when his unit went to Iraq. After his unit made a safe base (safe enough for Bush to visit), Vance finally joined them for 6 months, before abandoning them, and heading back stateside, to spend his last 9 months on a couch.

@truthache8560 Blah, blah. Both parties ... exact same rules. You're the one trying to dance around that fact. Also, JB said she'd be his VP again, all the way back in Jan 2022. Anyone who didn't know they were voting for her as his backup, would have to be as sharp as a spoon, like you.
Over 500k preventable American dths, was better? That's a pretty uncaring thing to say.
Ironic, claiming projection, considering the fact that DT's businesses have routinely failed, while KH was actually quite successful as a prosecutor.
Just being a friend of someone wealthy isn't the issue, dmwt. The issue was that they were laughing at the concept of Musk firing people for even thinking about striking or unionizing. That was a potential president, letting all the big business owners know he's on their side, and opposed to labor laws. That was them laughing at the idea of keeping the caste system alive.

GPE MUZIK Rofl, he's a religious nut. His whole reality is based on blind belief in a fairy tale, not facts. Plus, idiots, like him and you, don't seem to understand that objectivity has zero opinions, judgements, biases for or against anything, etc. That's what makes it objective. Facts are objective. All his opinions, etc., are subjectivity based ... feelings.

@nadrile You say an ad hominem has a definition, which is correct, but then you "characterize" it as an ad hominem, by not sticking to the definition.
Simply saying someone is stupid, for example, isn't an ad hominem, and could be a perfectly justifiable conclusion. If someone is so ridiculously wrong about something, the conclusion that they're stupid would follow.
Saying someone is stupid, therefore they must be wrong, is an ad hominem, because the conclusion, that they're wrong, doesn't follow. Stupid people can sometimes be right about things.

@dggamer2761 Moron. A business covers all of its costs in the price of the goods or services it is selling. If it doesn't, then it doesn't even break even. If a business spent $1000 +$100 input VAT on items for its business, the $1000 would be covered by its own pricing. When their customer then pays that $1000 portion of the price, they pay $100 VAT to the business. The business gets to keep that $100, reclaiming its input VAT. You, the consumer, get to pay a tax on their printers and office supplies, their trucks, their add buys, their data buys, their employee wages, etc., and a tax on their profits.
You really should take a mooment to double check if what someone is saying is true, or not, before doubling, and tripling, down on being stupid there cultist.

@Lew 286 Here's what hasn't worked ... authoritarian crony capitalism (fascism) ... authoritarian communism (Stalinism, etc.), which zero politicians are calling for ... Ayn Rand style Libertarianism, which leaves many uneducated, many without proper healthcare, idiotically leaves big business to self regulate, and ends with labour riots, and such like ... and anarcho-capitalism, which quickly devolves into feudalism.
On the other hand, more centrist mixed economies are ranked the best places to live, in the world. The US political spectrum is almost entirely right of centre. Bernie is the actual centrist.

@jrodamores87 Cry about reality all you want, but it won't change it ...
Library of Congress: Crossing the Straights
"The first Cubans to flee were the wealthiest—affluent professionals and members of the Batista regime who feared reprisals from the new government. More than 200,000 of these "golden exiles" had left Cuba for the U.S. by 1962, when air flights between the two countries were suspended. Between 1965 and 1973, a few flights resumed from Varadero beach in Cuba, and 300,000 more Cubans, who became known as Varaderos, seized the opportunity to emigrate. Many of the Cubans of these first waves felt that it was only a matter of time before the new government was overthrown, and planned to wait in the U.S. for their opportunity to return."
Long View: How the Fight Against Castro Once Terrorized U.S. Cities
"On April 12, 1974, José Elías de la Torriente was sitting in his home in Coral Gables, Florida, when he was shot and killed by an unknown assailant firing through the living room window. Torriente, a prominent local businessman, had crossed Miami’s Cuban exile community after failing to follow through on plans to invade Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro. His death marked the start of a period of political violence that would lead the FBI to call Miami the terrorist capital of the United States.
Though it’s largely forgotten today, some Cuban-American exile groups in the mid-1970s were responsible for one of the most impactful waves of terror in U.S. history. Authorities in that period tied them to 113 bombings on U.S. soil, killing around a dozen people. In 1974, Cuban exiles accounted for 45 percent of all terrorist bombings on the planet, according to José Luis Méndez’s Los Años del Terror."

@jackaljade If you don't know that a VP is the backup, then you're about as sharp as a spoon. It's literally in their job description, dingus.
Nope. You still haven't answered how Ford got the nomination. You just can't bring yourself to acknowledge the fact that enough delegates (delegates that he didn't win in the primaries) were convinced to switch to him. That's how a contested convention works, when nobody has enough delegates to become the nominee, after the primaries. The delegates become free to back whoever they want. Both parties, same rules.
JB dropped out, and his delegates were up for grabs. Marianne, and anyone else who wanted to jump in the race for that matter, had a chance to convince 300 delegates to back them, before the deadline. Marianne, and nobody else, did that. Kamala did.

@saikyk4822 douchebag: an obnoxious, offensive, or disgusting person
That's not simply sharing his opinion, dumbass. That's trying to instigate a "debate", without giving any reasoning behind his own position, and trying to get his opposition to do most of the work. You just helped show that it's a nonsensical method, totally devoid of actual substance, that gets nowhere if both sides do it. It's most definitely obnoxious. All we need to know now, is if you know the definition of "or"? Pretty sure he has offended a number of people, as well, even getting demonitized here on YouTube, until he stopped selling homophobic merchandise.

@Tyranitar Series Brazil: Right wing religious nut in power. Mixed economy that's nowhere close to outright socialism.
Venezuela: Left of centre, but still mixed economy. Also nowhere close to outright socialism. They nationalized a single resource and the US lost its mind, instigating strikes, plotting coups, freezing assets, implementing sanctions, formenting dissent, funding opposition, etc., etc., etc.

Yer Ma But Obamacare is just a band aid. If he could have pulled off universal healthcare, and caught the US up with the rest of the developed world, maybe.
FDR gave US workers protections, like wage floors and time ceilings, that still exist today. He gave the elderly social security, that still exists today. He passed Glass-Steagell, the repeal of which many think led to the great recession. He had an absolutely massive infrastructure program, for the time. The creation of the UN. And more. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but what he accomplished during his presidency was extraordinary.
Obama is a great orator, but even there he's ranked below JFK and FDR (with his weekly fireside chats). JFK was a great speaker, but he didn't accomplish nearly as much as FDR. He did push to put man on the moon, though (how much of benefit to society that was, maybe some scientific advancements, but it was quite the feat). He would have been the one signing the Civil Rights Act, if he hadn't been shot. He dealt with the Cuban missile crisis, which could have turned into a global disaster. Whether Obama is better than JFK might depend on how much you value putting a man on the moon, and how much credit you give JFK for the Civil Rights Act. Obama probably could have accomplished a lot more, but his, and the DNC's, biggest failure was not filling Ted Kennedy's Senate seat with another Democrat.

@madmax041 Fuck moron. I didn't say it was taken out of their income like an income tax, you stupid shit. You have severe reading comprehension problems. It is measured against income, though, to get a percentage, dumbass.
$2 on a $20 movie night spend, is a higher percentage of someone who makes $20k a year's income, compared to someone who makes $200k. That's why consumption taxes are considered regressive, period. They charge the poorest and the richest the same thing. Exempting both rich and poor people's staples doesn't change that it's regressive, it just makes it less so, by not having a regressive tax on necessities, but it's still on everything else.
