  1.  yoitzaswr FTW  "It doesnt take a genius to figure out that the “most voted for” president of all time should have much more likes than dislikes" I would agree with you if we were talking about a video with millions of likes and dislikes, but we aren't. "I also love how liberals pushed russia russia russia for four years, but when they win, you are banned, blacklisted, and punished if you even mention the possibility of fraud." Well first of all, the issue with Russia interfering in the election had nothing to do with election fraud. They were purposely pushing misinformation campaigns on social media using incredibly specific information about users to drive them to vote a certain way. The issue people had with that is that Trump ended up being the beneficiary of that propaganda. When pressed on the issue after he met with Putin he openly decided to ignore the advice of 17 separate government agencies who all came to the same conclusion, and told the world that Putin had nothing to do with influencing the election he won. As for election fraud in 2020, they checked multiple times and went to court dozens of times. Zero fraud was found, especially not enough to overturn the election results.

  2.  MEXICAN INVASION  For starters, gas prices were higher this time last year, just before the pandemic. As people stopped driving nearly as much gas prices plummeted, with global oil prices becoming negative for a short time. Since before the vaccines even started rolling out gas prices have been increasing since late November, and oil prices which have only gone up since late October. The vaccine numbers accellerated this. The idea that Keystone, a pipeline that was going to export oil, would drop prices is just ridiculous. If anything it would only increase prices as local demand would more closely match supply as surplus is piped out to Canada. Keystone would only have increased gas prices with our current levels of production and usage. Not that it matters as Keystone wasn't going to be finished for 2 years.

  5.  @JG-fk9mf  What's funny is Trump had a consistently lower approval rating than Biden has now, being down by 3 points when compared to the same point in his presidency. Back then approval ratings were all fake, now it's all they talk about.

  13. If you have zero underlying health conditions, and you still have a chance of getting long-term effects from the virus. Considering obesity counts as a health condition, and applies to over half the US population, that seems like a pointless number to swing around. The actual number is 99%.

  15.  @candacem6932  The fact that you're denying your own actions is proof enough that the truth to you is whatever you claim it to be, and lies are a means of pushing your truth. It's pretty sad really.

  25. @James 777 That's not how PCR works. They use it to find 1 specific thing, so right now they are using it to find covid. The covid PCR assay does not test false positive for influenza and does not see influenza at all. The CDC made a recommendation to switch to a test that can see both covid and influenza at the same time for flu season in an effort to lower time requirements. you are correct, flu disappeared last year due to travel bans and masking. Covid didn't stop because it is far more infectious and can go asymptomatic in the majority of infected people.

  40.  @alanstewart1286  Over the last 2 years inflationary increases have not matched raises to wages, instead being beaten by them, meaning that even with the inflation we have more cash in our wallets as a ratio of spend. Supply chain issues are global and are unavoidable. People started ordering more thing from abroad with their free finances from not using local services, resulting in more shipping. Shipping is at an all time high, and we are compensating with the rise as best we can, but we were already hitting capacity before this jump in demand. Gas prices being high is actually the result of 2 big issues. The first is that during the pandemic the price of oil went negative and gas dropped substantially, resulting in many US fracking operations going bankrupt. Due to this US oil and gas creation has never returned to previous levels. If Trump or the Republicans has made an effort to support companies like this then it might not still be an issue today. The other problem is that demand is high again, resulting in a massive shortfall. You can't blame Biden for demand jumping when we know that shipping is at an all time high and people are returning to work. Thankfully gas prices are not as high as they were in November, but lets not pretend this is an issue caused by the President. This country is a mess for a lot of far more serious issues. Small economic problems are not even top 10.

  45.    Pretty sure I'm lecturing someone who thinks the US is not a democracy. If you have democratic principles then by definition you are a democracy for starters. Stating that you have a constitution does nothing to change that you are a democracy. You seem to be confusing direct democracy with democracy. If I vote for a representative, then said representative writes and votes for laws, then that is a representative democracy. I also worry you don't know what a republic actually is.
    3
  46.  @iwanaorange9231  Perhaps you don't know what a republic is because you've never looked up the definition. The main point of a republic is not having a monarch as the head of state. Both the US and UK have democratically elected representative governments, but the UK has a monarchy and is therefore not a republic.

  47.  @iwanaorange9231  Not really dancing around, it's irrelevant. If it fits the definition then that's what it is. What's your definition of republic?
