In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there a
Exactly right.This is always such a stupid argument. FEMALE is biological. WOMAN is sociological. OBVIOUSLY a man can get pregnant if she is biologically female. It's just ignorance of reality to insist otherwise.If you want to backwards and insist a woman can't be a biological male, then you just don't understand what a gender even is.This is neither confusing nor complex.If y
Can a biological male get pregnant?
Within the context of making a decision it absolutely is. It is a very common verbiage people use to endorse Trump because they don't want to proudly get behind him. Maybe you don't like the rape but maybe you're cool with the racism and so on. Delivering your intended message while absolving yourself responsibility of your words. Being a giant pussy basically
or you are a dumbass hasbeen who is so deranged that it's easier for you to mark me, a fellow liberal, as a villain just for being the messenger explaining how badly the democrats fumbled with such unforced errors as they did with kamala and hillary than it is for you to come to terms with the complete and utter failure of our party to put forward reasonable candidates
all this knowing we were going to absolutely stomp him amongst educated voters and wouldn't need to worry at all about policy because anyone who cared about things like that was never going to vote for trump
the repubicans were putting out an absolute buffoon who was so polarizing he ensured a majority of americans would despise the man - all we had to do was put out a likeable candidate
the bar was set so low, that biden, someone who had scandal after scandal of lying about his family background (called his dad a coal miner in a speech in an early presidential run) to being so bought out by bank interests that they literally called him the senator from mbna in congress, someone who lied about finishing top of his class when he was at the bottom, someone who plagiarized and got caught at (ended his much earlier presidential dreams)
that guy, basically the democratic version of cheney - someone there to keep the insiders happy with obama at the helm much like cheney was there to reassure big money insiders that cowboy w was not going to ruin everything - easily defeated trump
that's how low the bar is set to beat trump, and we only cleared it 1/3 times - that's on us
but no, just call any dissent the act of a hateful closeted maga bigot and continue driving around with your ilhan omar 2028 bumper sticker ready to relive the same pain over and over again but with the smug reassurance that it's someone else's fault
and side note, i'm sure if mamdani hadn't won the primary - you'd all be ragging on me for speaking out against cuomo for mayor as well
trump 2.0 defeating kamala with ease should be your come to jesus moment where you reflect on past mistakes - we brought this on ourselves bringing in highly unlikable candidates who supported social issues that the general public did not endorse
Thinking Harris was a terrible candidate is reasonable. Choosing to vote independent in a place where there's a negligible chance it will have any impact as a form of protest vote against the Dems putting up a terrible candidate is also reasonable. Thinking she was a worse candidate (in terms of suitability to be president) than Trump is not remotely reasonable.

this is fair
see guys, this what we call nuance
No, but it is an indictment of your judgment.
Trump is orders of magnitude worse than Harris, or Walz, or NikkiHaly, or LinseyGraham or the average person on the street. You could throw a rock into a full NFL stadium and hit a more qualified person than Trump.
Pretty much this.
It's fine to criticize the Democrats for putting up weak candidates or being on the wrong side of certain issues.
But the rhetorical tactic of suggesting that Democrats are primarily responsible for the current abomination of a presidency is beyond suspect. The people most responsible for this administration are Trump, the Republican apparatus and politicians who supported him, and the voters who pulled the lever for him.
In 20+ years of posting on 2+2, I have put two people on my ignore list. Rickroll and Victor.
But today, I get to see so many of their posts, because this whole politics forum is non-stop quoting them. Joy. 😀
PS - they are not serious posters. They are just attention seekers.

No idea how you can have them but not housenuts.

Rick earns it atleast. Any bait just launches him into orbit
I put four folks on ignore a few days ago.
Significantly enhances my enjoyment of this place.

So you agree that your assessment of Harris as a worse candidate than Trump is not remotely reasonable. Splendid.
i went into it thinking the trump kind of crazy would be curbed by his own administration and democratic checks and balances the way it was in his first term
his crazy is orders of magnitude greater than hers, but was running on the assumption that hers would be allowed to fester and thrive whereas trump would get shut down a lot
his first term was unorthodox for sure, but mostly in rhetoric - if you looked at government policy and action it departed very little from the other presidents before him and the few hot take things he introduced were also later adopted by biden - showing that while a polarizing figure and absolute buffoon - he wasn't dramatically different
trump's biggest and most controversial policies in his first term of trade and immigration were wholly adopted, continued, and even outright strengthened under biden
i was assuming it'd be more of the same - total buffoon at the helm with an administration that pretty much cheney'd their way to what would be a typical boiler plate republican platform
and having said that - yes it is on both parties for not shutting him down, let alone not giving him the bolsonaro or yoon treatment - he absolutely should have been tried for his insurrection and instead they laughed it off and let it slide thinking it was better not to upset his base
right now he's easily the worst president we've ever had - not just sending in the military and federal agents against citizens but also threatening a nato ally with invasion for nothing other than greed - i want to tear it all down - neither party deserves the right to govern after allowing this to happen

It's actually working in the dem's favor. I am a staunch no vote for either party's candidate, my views being mainly far left of current Dem platforms. Figured Trump gets in, is a bozo and maybe the Dems can pander to people that sat it out next time around.
Like how bad can Trump be? Holy ****ing ****, pretty bad I guess. To the point I will strongly consider voting for those blue maggots as long as they don't run Schumer or something.
Point being if Trump can do this to me, Dems just get another election with the "we're not trump" platform and should get the W. So basically another wasted 8 years with no reform.
Bezos and co may have hoovered up every penny by then.

None of this changes the fact that concluding that Harris is worse than Trump is a clear indication that you have piss-poor judgment. In fact, your efforts to justify your piss-poor judgment in the above diatribe only confirms its existence.
The challenge for you now is to see if you can determine where that piss-poor judgment has misguided you in other areas of your existence and make efforts to correct it. Best of luck.

Can you imagine how hard rick would be whining right now if Trump had been deposed and incarcerated?
