Nuclear war is our only chance at ending capitalism as we know it, hell yes.

I don't really think people are evil for doing this considering how vile Pregnancy Crisis Centers are, but this kind of thing probably isn't great for society.

Pregnancy Crisis Centers do more good for mothers and their children than places like Planned Parenthood have ever done.

Maybe if you believe a mindless clump of cells should be treated like a thinking feeling conscious human being, but I don't live in that world.

Dude, I just want this thread to be about genuinely terrible posts and not just any opinion reactionaries don't like.

To be fair, it's always been the case that 50% of posts in this thread are simply posts that the person in question strongly disagrees with.

I don't know if anyone ever "knows for certain" but I don't see how anyone other than the child in question could possibly claim they know better.

Honestly children in general shouldn't be gendered until they ask to be.

Just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it belongs in the thread.

He executed too many of his generals, but not enough communists

Agree, he should've started with himself.

Stalin dying by the time he got into power would be a net negative for the good of the world. His leadership is what led to the German defeat and pressured other capitalist nations to change for the better in creating the modern civil service and welfare regimens.

I hate having to target someone twice but this is just ridiculous

George Washington was a terrible general and generally not that great of a politician. His “achievements” also include mass oppression of the working class and punching left, so my personal preference is obviously low for the man.

I think they should bring back crucifixion, personally.

The answer is "never" as long as the media, the government and NGOs don't coerce vulnerable children to believe so.

And that’s why it’s seen as a right-wing country, if you had to compare countries from an ideological perspective. I insist that “right” and “left” are economic notions and social issues are related to notions of illiberalism and authoritarianism (or individual freedoms).

And even then, it’s questionable how committed democrats/the country is on that regard. Europe strikes me as a more socially liberal place in a general way, for example. On some specific matters, other less developed countries as well. That’s because US isn’t necessarily “socially liberal” but more guided by notions of individualism as you say. Like, it will defend the freedom of people to be whatever they want to be or say and that doesn’t include minorities only, but also the allowance of hate speech and other crimes that are passed as “freedom of expression” as well.

Doesn’t Exist in US, but it does in Europe, South America and everywhere else - Extreme Left

People who usually criticize AOC and the “left democrats” for being too weak - Left

Bernie, Ilhan Omar, AOC - Center-Left

Democrat voters, politicians and supporters in general - Center

Hillary Clinton, Manchin, “Conservative” + “Moderate” wing of Democrats - Center-Right

Romney, McCain, “Moderate” wing of Republicans - Right

Trump, DeSantis, basically the entire Republican party of nowadays - Extreme-right

Alot of our post aren't realistic until we know the results Users have a ridiculous R nut map from the user above me and I had a ridiculous D nut map in 2020 and have one now but it's called wave insurance D's may not win all these seats but especially Tim Ryan, Demings and Beasley win or Crist or Beto I will be mad at myself for not predicting it, but maps aren't Results they are ridiculous predictions on how we think EDay will turnout


That's to users predicting 54 Right Senate seats which won't happen I guarentee you Ds will have at least 50 seats that's enough for the Majority but we need more because we are on the defense in OH, MT and WVA in 24 before we go on offense again in ME in 26 Collins is DOA to Jared Golden in 26, Golden will win in 22 and with Angus King up in 24 will win again and finally challenge Collins

As poor as West Virginia is it is the last place that needs unwanted pregnancies or pregnancies at all. If anything they should be discouraging people from having children.

Anyone here who is pro-choice but believes that it should be a legislative matter?

No. A woman's autonomy of her own body is a divine right, not one to be granted or restricted by any government.

Welcome to Partition, American style!

Not a very good comparison tbh. This Partition would have some justification since Red America and Blue America can see eye to eye on very little and, almost justifiably so, hate and despite each other. Whereas, Muslims and Hindus pre-partition genuinely had a lot of common ground - much more than Trump and Biden voters, I’d say - and they really could work together. The difference between them was pretty overstated. In contrast, Trump supporters and Biden supporters really are gravely divided and polarised and they genuinely have serious and fundamental differences. No use pretending we as a country are at all united. We are more divided than at any point since the Civil War and we have a lot, lot less in common than Muslims and Hindus did in 1947. They had common interests and a massive amount of common ground. Red and Blue America are the opposite right now.

Did I say anything wrong? Much as some of us may like to delude ourselves into believing we’re a united country, the truth is the two halves of the nation have very fundamental differences and hate each other. They can’t be partitioned geographically the way Muslims and Hindus could, but most Democrats despise GOPers and the GOP and vice Verda. And that’s the truth. We can’t agree on anything at all and have little in common! Much less than Muslims and Hindus did and do. They’ve been forcibly driven apart for perverse reasons, but have more in common than most people think. They certainly don’t have the serious and fundamental differences Democrats and Republicans do. They can agree on much more than Democrats and Republicans can or do. Aside from a few, they don’t despise each other the way Democrats and Republicans hate each other. Republicans and Democrats can’t be divided geographically into two halves, but fundamentally divided they are.  The situation with Hindus and Muslims was and is the total opposite.

Biden still has a 42 percent Approvals but no question this Decision on Roe is gonna help D's in the Midterms especially in NC and FL Demings and Beasley were considered far too leftist to be trusted in the Sen now they are seen as pragmatic, we are gonna have 3 new black Senators Barnes, Demings and Beasley

The Rs won those close races with Bush W 2000/2004/2016 because Voters never believed they would appoint Scalias, now that Roe is overturned it's a whole new ballgame and Crt packing is certainly on the table again😊😊😊

Crist is already leading in FL, if he is leading I am sure Demings now Roe is overturned isn't far behind and Rubio supported blocking Voting Rights

Beasley is down 5 and Demings down 6 with 300K Provisional ballots and 20% black vote and then female vote we can overcome those deficits 5/6 pts is still within MOE

Porn is never gonna be overturned but there is still a risk now and voters especially young 30 year olds whom we're not enthusiastic to vote are gonna be energized to vote now we are gonna have a 60% turnout now not a 40% turnout especially among the youth and if that happens Trifecta, Rs won in 2010/2014 with only 40% Turnout

Lots of people here need to read Thomas Frank's book What's the Matter with Kansas?.  It actually gives some insight as to how the Democrats managed to actually lose their status as the party of the Working Class (an unthinkable thought in my youth). 

With the decline of the Political Bosses and Organized Labor, the Democratic Party has become, disproportionately, the party of Lawyers, especially Trial Lawyers.  Much of what is called "The Swamp" is actually a massive network of Law Firms and Lobbying Firms (often headed by lawyers) that are very much attuned to the special interests of their clients, while being incredibly disconnected from the broader swath of society.  The Republicans, on the other hand, have (at least until recently) very much been the "Business Party".  They're certainly the party of SMALL business, and they are (still) the favored party of Corporate America (so long as we're not talking about Trumppublicans). 

Whatever you want to say about "businesspeople", I would argue that entrepreneurs and corporate types, as a rule, have their finger on the pulse of the average citizen far more than the lawyer and consultant class do.  This doesn't mean that they're necessarily more altruistic, but their BUSINESS depends on knowing what people want, what they can afford, what they view themselves as "needing" versus "wanting", etc.  Small business owners are far more living "where the rubber meets the road" on any number of issues, and this constituency is an almost exclusively Republican constituency.  And the Small Business Owners that are elected to office are almost exclusively Republican in most places.  (This goes back to the New Deal when Big Business could afford to accomodate New Deal regulations that were burdensome on Small Business.) 

This makeup makes the GOP the party more attuned to the pulse of America.  Whether they use that to serve or manipulate is another matter.  But the GOP is FAR more aware of what the average American thinks these days, and it gives them an advantage, even when they advocate issue positions that the average person might not support if they looked at the issue.

That is a standard Fuzzy stupidpost.

Why don't you stop polluting this thread with your partisan hackery.
