  • “If you don’t agree with me 100% you must be against me.”

    Oddly enough the same thing “3rd party” voters complain about Democrats doing.

    Also, for people who want to succeed it’s odd I only hear about “3rd party” in October every 4 years. I’m sure in January you’ll still be talking about the importance of building a 3rd party right?

    Edit: I don’t know why your post got removed, maybe you were banned for something else, but for the record: I’m not a Democrat, but I’m a realist. I would love for there to be a viable 3rd party, but that’s not going to happen in the next 2 weeks and allowing Donald Trump to become elected is going to actively make that less likely. Considering what happened on Jan 6th with minimal consequences, if Donald Trump gets elected you might even lose the option of a 2nd party.







  • So far, the best system we’ve come up with as a species is heavily regulated capitalism with strong social safety nets

    And for quite a lot of human history the best system we had come up with was Feudalism, until we started doing something better.

    Just because Capitalism is the best we’ve come up with so far doesn’t mean we should just accept it, or that 1000 years from now people won’t look at the Capitalism with the same disdain we look at Feudalism.









  • Well, officially, Putin supports Harris, but who knows with that deranged man.

    So first of all, that is “armchair conjecture”.

    Second of all, you’ve already admitted just because Putin says it doesn’t mean it’s true.

    Third of all, what is your reaction to Putin’s support? Sounds like “be careful of Harris, Putin supports her.” Do you think Putin is an idiot? He knows that’s how people will react.

    Not supporting someone just because Putin said to is just as stupid as supporting someone just because Putin said to. Either way you’re letting Putin make your decisions instead of thinking for yourself.
