Yes. Liberal states like the one I'm in should be in favor of massive federal tax cuts. I'm tired of subsidizing morons.

We are going to see liberal states talk about states rights and Republicans fighting that notion.

The U.S. outspends most NATO countries on defense spending a percent of GDP. The Europeans couldn't end the Serbia/Kosovo situation on their own. They needed the U.S. Europe needs to do more to defend themselves and not rely so

Russia is not so good on the battlefield but great at sowing dissent and getting their man elected. I’ll never understand Biden giving Ukraine just enough to not lose but jot enough to win. Ukraine is fucked. But Europeans should do more

Immigration at it's current levels might be great but not necessarily if it greatly increased. What you have to demonstrate is that in a world full of climate change caused chaos allowing tens of millions of people into the country is

The Panama Canal is having problems now due to a prolonged drought. There have already been migrations from Guatemala and Honduras due to droughts in the highlands. Mexico City is facing a water problem partially due to drought. From NASA

Water can be solved with desalination and investments in energy output improvement tech. New Mexico can’t build desalination plants. Probably a good idea to not allow water intensive crops to be grown there that are exported. Mass migra

It is a foregone conclusion. Countries should take steps to mitigate what happens to them. For instance the U.S. should prevent Saudi companies from exploiting water resources in the U.S. And we should build a wall to prevent mass migrat

There is nothing wrong with greed, greed is good. what there is something wrong with is envy and jealousy; all cultures and ethical traditions recognize that. Supply side Jesus appreciates you. greed drives people to try to improve, to g

When I wrote there is a mainstreaming I meant that there is an attempt to make it mainstream. There are conservatives who say they’d rather vote for a rapist felon than a liberal. It’s an attempt to normalize certain viewpoints. I.E. vot

I fully expect the downvotes. America since Reagan has largely embraced the greed is good mantra. American evangelicals who profess to follow the Bible would downvote a comment that quoted the Bible by saying that the love of money is the

It’s absurd that 10 people can make that much money in a couple of days. No one should have as much wealth as those 10 people do.

Of course they aren't identical. The point is that prior to the internet everyone thought it reasonable to prevent kids from accessing pornography. Now it is widely available to them online. Some people think this is not right. The

As they currently stand anyone, regardless of age, can easily access pornographic content online.

It's easy to view pornography online regardless of age. That's what we are talking about. Here are my leftist views: No one should have more than $10 million of wealth. Everyone should have a place to live, food, and healthcare

Can you cite some examples? I'm not understanding correctly what you are getting at.

That's disturbing and news to me. I didn't vote for Biden. The only time I voted for the winner in a Presidential election was my vote for Trump in 2016. But my vote for Trump was due to my theory that electing the dumbest, most

Democratic persuasion techniques like this are also part of the problem... People buy shirts that say “I’d rather be Russian than a liberal.” The demonization of the opposing ideology goes both ways. Everything you wrote applies to cons

For 40 years there has been a demonization of liberalism. Liberals are seen as the enemy. Liberals seek to destroy America and other such sentiments are common by consumers of right wing media. There are similar sentiments by liberals of

Thanks for digging that up. I tried to find if he did tweet something when Biden won. However, my point about it being newsworthy stands. I think.

Did Tim Cook publicly comgratulate Joe Biden when he won? I don’t think so. Even if he did it wasn’t newsworthy. Trump supporters ask yourself this. What does it say about Trump that public displays of fealty are seen as necessary by po

Hasn’t been implemented so how do you know the outcomes won’t be there? Real policy as you call often times fails to have intended outcome or has lots of unintended consequences.

In the 1980s a very few percent of people admired Hitler or sought to bring about a revival of his image. There is a mainstreaming of this revival. What is happening now is a normalization of the idea that perhaps he wasn’t all that bad.

They are in the position of not wanting pro-Hitler sentiments on their site. They also don’t want conservatives, who are now in power, to punish them. It seems like a reasonable decision to just ban the word altogether. It’s expedient; n

Hitler’s character has been going through a revival of sorts amongst right wing white nationalists. You can find such posts on X.com. Threads doesn’t want that on their platform. They also don’t want the white nationalists to decry the f

Do you think a business should be able to sell alcohol to a 10 year child? It’s not the business’ responsibility to raise a person’s kid, afterall.
