@ethanbailey3354 In part, sure. It expands pretty far, but the core idea is that inequality is from racial disadvantages.

@dthrust9037 Got it. So fascism is fine as long as it benefits you personally.

@dthrust9037 Nobody in government forced anyone to lose their jobs. Decisions were at the choice of the employers.
1
@dthrust9037 Lol, no. What revisionist history is this? Only federal employees had to either vaccinate or test by government order. Employers were all voluntary.

@dthrust9037 Again, a mandate that applies to city employees and, in their case, sports players for teams that represent the city. I'm surprised you're so anti-vaccine considering the massive outbreaks in the NBA in the early days, and the dramatic risk of heart failure from it.
1
@dthrust9037 Never remember indeed. You really don't have a clue do you? If you want to shoot yourself in the foot then by all means do so, but don't pretend you have any justification for such a pathetic stance. We get it, you have immigrants and are upset over not being allowed to put other people in danger. It's a bizarre thing to be upset about, but you obviously aren't exactly rational.

@jakestarr4718 I can, I just thought the better of you. Vaccines are older than seatbelts sooo....

@Voice Guy Or Trump cheated to even get 74 mil (not 75). Maybe he lost way harder than the numbers are showing because he cheated, then spent so long trying to prove fraud because he knew there was some there, because he's the one that did it.
1
@BillyTheKidder Why not. You claim Biden cheated to get votes. Maybe Trump was the cheat all along.

@roo2221 If only there were a reason for people not to gather in large groups.....

@BillyTheKidder The 3am jump in votes was from them reporting votes en masse. They count them then update the numbers. This has been debunked by both Democrat's and Republicans present at the count. Maybe states did flip for Trump. Maybe he actually lost Florida but cheated for the win there, like he tried to in Georgia when he called the governor and asked him to "find" the exact number of votes he needed to win. Pretty sure people voted for Trump while not openly supporting him at a far higher rate given his abysmal approval rating. Maybe Biden supporters don't feel the need to fly a flag, but that hardly makes them pansies. You can represent an ideal without flags.

@BillyTheKidder "which as it happens was being told by a Biden voter that they were “scared of retaliation,” or in other words pansies." Sounds smart to me, as Trump voters tried to kidnap congress and killed a cop. "rather I understand the whole game is set up so it can be rigged by the two private organizations that run the show." Well sure. The Senate and the Electoral College should simply not work the way they do. They are completely undemocratic, as is the two-party system and gerrymandering. "It all doesn’t make sense, but most especially thinking the ‘loser’ rigged ‘the game.’" Neither does thinking the winner did. You have to go off the info provided. Especially when Trump has far more instances of attempting to rig the election, such as: Removing mail sorting machines from post office facilities months before the elections. Calling the Governor of Georgia to try and get him to "find" votes. Asking his supporters to stand up and "stop the count" of "illegal" votes. Trying to convince electoral college members to subvert their states. Convincing his supporters to storm the Capitol building to stop the confirmation of the Electoral College vote, even calling for Mike Pence's head and building a gallows. So I was in fact playing devil's advocate at your claim that the election was fishy. Well, more being obtuse actually. The truth is, Trump tried to cheat, and failed.
1
YouTubeSucks AfatOne it's really not. He was literally elected.
1
@BillyTheKidder You would be correct, assuming that was the only case of the right being violent, but there have been multiple instances of the right politically attacking the left. Take Charlottesville. Some white supremist drove his car through anti-Unite the Right protesters, killing 1 and injuring 28. These attacks are not uncommon, and the rhetoric of Trump's supporters in the last 12 years has only been increasing. "in which case arguing one party is better than another should seem ridiculous." Not really. Just because you have to choose between 2 things, doesn't make those things the same. For example: your choice of sandwich filling is Nutella or literal dog shit I found on the front lawn. Still 2 options, they even look similar, but obviously they are very different. I created that narrative to your response that the election results were fishy. They weren't, Biden won, and arguing Biden cheated is even less nonsensical than arguing Trump cheated. At least one side has the ability to show that the candidate at least attempted to cheat. Unless of course your comment was offhand and has nothing to do with a claim of cheating, which makes it a meaningless statement. You claim Biden cheated. Can you name some instances of his cheating?
1
@BillyTheKidder Your last comment said they rig the game, they cheat. So did Biden cheat or not. Moreover, did he cheat the system, or did he cheat within the system? Trump definitely tried the former, and partially succeeded. I agree that reasons fornnot wanting to shout your candidate from the rooftops are generally more personal. My point what that incidents like Charlottesville, various right wing shootings, the attack on the Capitol and other situations like that are just points in a huge web of various instances and rhetoric pushed by the right over the last 12 years. I would also point to the nationalistic style of support very common on the right, that requires a huge amount of chest thumping, something less nationalistic people tend to steer away from. You call it cowardice, I personally call the signs unnecessary. As for the sandwiches, it really doesn't matter what you consider either side, as long as you understand that a choice between 2 is not automatically a choice between 1.
1
@BillyTheKidder The historical evidence is that candidates with a more extreme following tend to attract people with more extreme beliefs and more extreme actions to fit those beliefs, such as covering your house in 20 Trump flags or flying the confederate battle flag. Biden supporters tend to steer away from such blatant displays of nationalism and what essentially amounts to thumping your chest like a gorilla to prove your point. They voted rather than shouted, and it worked. If you really want more examples I can give them, but arguing against it due to an insufficient number of points being made simply because you determined it so doesn't really help you case. Even if these were the only 2 newsworthy examples, it wouldn't really change much. But sure, by all means. I would like to preface this with the fact that Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020. El Paso Walmart shooting 2020 boogaloo killings Kenosha protest shooting Poway synagogue shooting Jeffersontown Kroger shooting Pittsburgh synagogue shooting Planned parenthood shooting Portland train attack Charleston church shooting LAX shooting Attack on Pennsylvania State Police barracks 2018 mail bombing attempts These are just the public attacks in the name of right wing ideals. This says nothing for the hundreds of videos and actions of right wing supporters calling for action: Trump tweeted a video that included the statement "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat" Fox News claiming that "All the Democrats have is lying and deception" Dinesh D'Souza on Larry King claiming that the Democratic left are fascists Trump proclaiming that only his supporters are true American patriots Numerous videos questions and attacking Colin Kaepernick as a thug Numerous videos of people being shot, choked and beaten by the police without repercussions Militia groups actively preparing for civil war in the lead up to the 2020 election Increased KKK signups and marches The direct attacks and lies about Obama including: Calling him a Muslim and saying he swore in on a Quran Claiming he was born in Kenya Saying he is the literal coming of the anti-christ Calling him Satan Trump co-chair wishing death on Obama Syracuse "hang Obama" threats Warning ISIS of incoming airstrikes before they happened Failed to stockpile ventilators Obama Foundation owns mail-in ballot printers Obama's full name means COVID (seriously, these are just bizarre) The Capitol attack was just a culmination of years of rhetoric coming crashing down as Trump supporters angrily reach stage 2 of their grief journey. They probably won't get much past that either. Add to all of this the fact that conservative gun ownership, violence and terrorism are all increasing, and have been increasing for over a decade, at a steady rate. Rhetoric from these conservative groups has been growing steadily. The silent majority is a thing and they voted accordingly. Also, again, not that this matters, as the absence of what you consider to be an appropriate number of examples is not indicative of there being no issue.

@thebigcheese606 Because red states are doing the worst both economically and from covid, and usually get the most federal government funding.
1
The person shot was feet away from members of Congress and ignoring a lawful order. Trying to overthrow the government is no joke. Biden has actually mentioned multiple accomplishments, but you just haven't been listening.
1
@Evansteven244 The gates were not open. The video shows her physical location, which was feet away from members of Congress. She also broke a window and was leading a huge group through a barricade.
1
@Evansteven244 Guns and other weapons were present, you can't know if she has a weapon, and the mob behind her make the situation completely different. But at least you admit your BS about the gates being open is a joke since the gates were smashed down, and she was breaking through a barricade.
1
@Evansteven244 It does change the matter, as does the mob. The video is online, how much more public do you need?
1
@Evansteven244 Yes, I'm sure a different camera angle is all you need to get justice for that seditious traitor. Wonder why the family haven't bothered trying to get any sort of justice?
1
@Evansteven244 No, it doesn't. Thanks for playing though.
1
@Evansteven244 So just repeating the same lies.
1
@Evansteven244 I think the fact that they stormed the Capitol is more than enough reason for the FBI to keep a watch on them. Nobody was ushered in.
1
@Evansteven244 The areas that were opened were to either to redirect seditionists, or to abandon an area where the police were being flanked. Many videos are shot from the mob, behind the police lines, showing the strategic movements. The most common of which was the barricade that was removed allowing the mob through, but again the cops were already surrounded and the video is shot from behind.
1
It helps that he very obviously broke the law.
1
Price increases are global. Crime increased during the pandemic long before Biden took office. The FBI searched Trump's home and found boxes of illegal documents. Anything else?

@jakeglenn2246 Not sure why you're laughing. It's an mRNA vaccine that needs to be frozen in a -80. After being defrosted it cannot be refrozen and has a 5 day shelf life. Not sure why that's a difficult concept.
1
@jakeglenn2246 > "Facebook Co- founder(“World Economic Forum”) , Bill Gates , Fauci and Big pharma planned C 19 and removed Trump from office. Interesting claim. Got any evidence for that? Honestly, you think that they started a virus, in China of all places, and spread it all over the world, just to prove Trump is incompetent? Even if you are correct all Trump had to do was not be incompetent. >Why wasn’t the white house and GOP senators invited to event 201? Because at every turn they have been working to undermine the whole pandemic response. >Why weren’t the American people allowed to attend? Which American people? American people were there. >Which Big pharma reps were there and why? Probably the ones producing the vaccine. >Why was the CIA and NSA there? Why wasn’t Trump notified? These are contradictory. I'm sure Trump was notified and has the CIA and NSA acting on his behalf, or he skipped that briefing like he always does. Either way. >John Hopkins was the organization that also tracked and reported on the C19 actual event!!! Correct. I'm glad they were there since they obviously know the most about all of this. >The American people have NOT elected Gates, Fauci, Big pharma or John Hopkins or the CDC to direct our healthcare. Well, sort of. The CDC head is appointed by the president, who is elected. The rest of them were hosting a private event and invited officials, who decided it would be a good idea. Gates, Johns Hopkins and the rest have no obligation to help people, but maybe they aren't complete sacks of shit like Trump. Gates for instance donated billion upon billions around the world to help people, yet you think he is somehow orchestrating a pandemic just to get at Trump? >Why is Roxanne S. Austin- Verizon BOD also on BOD of big pharma? Why not? Maybe because they know a thing or two about business and can provide a unique approach that more pharmaceutically driven individuals cannot? Here's an idea. If Trump and his personal team are being attacked so hard, why don't they do some investigating and prove it? They appointed judges and had the head of the department of justice on their side, and found literally nothing. No lawsuits, no trials, no evidence. Also, are you saying the virus is fake or the vaccine. Wouldn't the vaccine still be a good thing?
1
No chance. They caught multiple people who are well known Trump supporters who went to all of his rallies.

Milly Willy "actually there are plenty of reports on VAERS that say the men vaccines do cause clots." Not sure which vaccine you are referring to here, but that's not how VAERS works. VAERS reports are all possible side effects, regardless of whether they were actually caused by the vaccines or not. Moreover, if you check the actual data, which you can download for free, you'll find that complaints of clots are almost exclusively related to J&J, and Moderna and Pfizer complaints fall very much into usual thresholds. In fact back in May the CDC followed up on all the VAERS reports of clots and found that none of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine recipient claims of clots were founded. All 28 cases came from J&J. However, even in J&J this is far lower than the blood clot rate for covid, with is around 39 per million. J&J is more like 4 per million. "no. Your thinking involves no logic whatsoever. Your health is not my responsibility." How selfish. I'm sorry that you feel the need to actively endanger those around you to fuel your own self importance, especially those incapable of being vaccinated. Imagine how miserable it must be to be immunocompromised and unable to go outside because of people like you.

@Sara-he4dn That happened by increasing the national debt by trillions. Trump lowered taxes and increased spending to inflate the market temporarily. It's a dangerous and unsustainable growth model that costs the taxpayers in the long run. Bush did the exact same thing, and look what happened at the end of his presidency. COVID just accelerated the inevitable under Trump.

On Sunday night, the FBI issued a statement calling the ordeal “a terrorism-related matter, in which the Jewish community was targeted.” The agency said the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating. Try again.

@bad74maverick1 Almost as if arresting the guy and questioning everyone allowed them to learn more. Amazing right? God you're a joke.

Yes we are.

@janepeterson40 We're both.
1
@janepeterson40 Ruining it how? Can you be specific?
1
@janepeterson40 The border is still closed. In fact the number of people being caught is exceptionally high, meaning we are catching them. Biden also got Mexico to pay for $1.5 billion in border security. Democrats have never been against border security, they just knew that a massive wall was stupid, costly, ineffective and impossible to maintain. Taxes are unchanged, unless of course you're a high earner. The department of education manages its own budget and can forgive loans. All that will do is lower their own future earnings, but they still make a profit with the high interest rates they have. Not sure what your issue is with Ukraine. We are supporting our allies. After 20 years in Afghanistan I thought you would be happy about helping in a war that actually means something.

They've been waiting on Republicans this whole time. They had to pass the bill through reconciliation because Republicans in the Senate refused to approve it. The process goes through multiple committees and takes months.
1
@TRIPESKA Music Group Nope. I've reviewed all the evidence, the vaccines are far safer than covid.
1
@TRIPESKA Music Group What a ridiculous hurdle considering pharma companies are the ones making the vaccines and governments are the ones reviewing them as well as measuring the covid numbers, but yes, there have been independent papers published in the likes of Nature and BMJ that have reviewed the impact independently.

@cjsteele9594 Have you ever done some fighting in southern Africa, maybe in Rhodesia?
1
@smetheny1337 Well it is. Just RNA and fats, that's it. Not adjuvants. Yes, vector vaccines, which have been around 50 years and include the TB vax. They are both vaccines and the definition was clarified, it never changed meaning.
1
@saltyzu8412 Until it wears off. I've known multiple people who caught covid twice.
1
@smetheny1337 Nope. They just removed the term immunity. No vaccines have ever guaranteed immunity for 100% of the people taking them, and flu shots are the best example of this. Even the old shingles vax was only 50% effective. Nothing about efficacy or immunogenicity applies here. The meaning behind the definition is unchanged since it was always applied the way it currently reads.
