I can point to alot of things that Dems did wrong (like running with the Cheneys while snubbing the Palestinians in their base) but replacing Joe was ...

He doesn't need to do them and would be better off not doing them. Things won't change but he can bullshit his way into telling people they have gotte...

Musk says he wants to slash government spending and bust unions, while RFK undermines vaccines. Both of these people could've pushed for climate actio...

I still blame Biden ultimately for tying his party's hands like this. Even Harris herself is incapable of distancing herself from him because she's a ...
November 06, 2024 at 06:21
Kind of accepted the possibility of Trump winning since Israel started their war in Lebanon in late September so the result tonight isn't surprising t...

In such a case he'll probably defer to a third party because he has no idea what the right military course of action would be and doesn't seem to be i...

It's not a matter of him being bought off to outright start a war which I agree he wouldn't do if the option was explicitly presented to him. However ...

He's probably not knowingly gonna do something that will be akin to starting a war, but I can't definitively rule out him being duped into it. He was ...

He did suggest that Israel should attack the nuclear facilities in Iran in response to the Oct 1 attack. Of course that may be him playing politics be...

October 27, 2024 at 14:58
That says more about us than it does about him honestly. Fact is, even if Trump loses (an apparent coin flip at this point) it'll only be a matter of ...
October 27, 2024 at 10:21
Unfortunately alot of this election is based on vibes with very little substance and I say that for both sides. Eh, I guess people get what they voted...
October 26, 2024 at 19:13
I mean they saved a bunch of the Teamster's pensions and yet alot of their members would still vote for the billionaire who's last administration has ...
October 24, 2024 at 15:34
I think you're not taking into account how both sides feel after 2016 and 2020. Even in an objectively toss-up race the left, after having been burned...

He'll surely come up with some excuse as long as he sees this war as key to his political survival. For sure Sinwar was a terrible person who was a ma...
October 18, 2024 at 06:27
Apparently Bibi is now saying the war isn't yet over because they have to get the hostages out, which is why he is continuing to reject a ceasefire de...
October 17, 2024 at 20:12
Apart from the 40,000+ Palestinians killed, many of whom were tortured and raped by the IDF. But if you happen to disagree I invite you to go to Gaza ...
October 17, 2024 at 11:42
What the Israelis don't seem to understand is that it goes both ways. How many Oct 7s have happened to the people in Gaza and now Lebanon and how many...
October 15, 2024 at 18:11
I think it was a mistake for Harris to keep the Biden people on her campaign team for this reason. These are the same idiots who thought it was a good...
October 12, 2024 at 15:36
Not to judge your voting intentions since I can sympathize with your frustration but it's not really a question whether Trump will be worse (he will),...
October 07, 2024 at 19:21
And it should be easy for you to look it up yourself but you apparently prefer to stay misinformed. Can't help people who are unwilling to help themse...
October 04, 2024 at 22:28
Not surprisingly, what you want to see and what is the case are two very different things.
October 04, 2024 at 21:38
I remember when the right used to be all about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and defunding big bad government institutions like FEMA. I mean,...
October 04, 2024 at 19:27
Even if we don't know the full story what we do know already paints Netanyahu in a bad light. He was warned by the Egyptians of an attack on Oct 7. Ne...
October 03, 2024 at 12:03
A long war in Lebanon can be a double edged sword though. It helps Netanyahu extend his forever war and stay in power for the time being, but it can e...
October 03, 2024 at 07:07
Exactly. If they were really concerned with getting the Israelis back and saving the hostages in Gaza (which are probably completely doomed so much as...
October 03, 2024 at 01:16
Apparently the US is coordinating with Israel on a response unlike last time. Oddly enough that makes me feel a bit more confident about the possibili...
October 02, 2024 at 07:04
Netanyahu is interested in more war to stay out of jail. The rest of his coalition are just in it for the body count.
October 02, 2024 at 04:48
Of course both sides can only fight using air strikes but if Iran wanted to cause more damage they probably would've done so. Same with Hezbollah. App...
October 02, 2024 at 04:32
Iran still refrained this time around. The problem has always been Israel and their desire to drag everyone into a war. It doesn't matter how much the...
October 02, 2024 at 02:03
A complete and utter failure of the Biden policy of letting Israel do whatever it wanted in Gaza in the hopes that it won't do whatever it wanted in L...

Springfield was one of the many dying towns back during 2016 (one of the places that would've voted for Trump back then on his false promise to bring ...
September 18, 2024 at 15:16
He does but that doesn't mean he listens to them. He even said it himself in one of his rallies that they keep telling him to focus on policy instead ...
September 16, 2024 at 16:15
Why didn't he do this during his first term? Unlike Harris he was actually president and actually did a big tax cut bill for the ultra wealthy.
September 13, 2024 at 17:08
Trump must've been so disappointed he wasn't able to make a political stunt out of this. That was like, his entire reason for going.
August 29, 2024 at 15:13
Places like Fox are inevitably gonna move the goal posts no matter how many interviews Harris does but I agree she should be doing more of them if jus...
August 29, 2024 at 05:25
It's just unfortunate that it's coming from this third side that claims to be above the two party system. As someone who's supportive of more party re...
August 24, 2024 at 13:50
I was willing to give him some attention back when he ran because of his record as an environmental lawyer. Lost it when he said that his approach to ...
August 23, 2024 at 13:06
Funny how he went from being a "useful chaos agent" according to Steve Bannon to ultimately being a drag on the Republicans so much that they had to h...
August 23, 2024 at 11:53
Politically it will probably work out for her because of how uninformed voters are which is what I suspect her play here is. Say what you want about h...
August 18, 2024 at 08:51
Depends on the details of her actual policy, though based on what I've read it sounds like antitrust enforcement. Maybe when she sits for an actual in...
August 17, 2024 at 17:29
I still feel like this is an issue about Trump's policies that is underdiscussed. People seem to think that Trump will fix inflation somehow but he li...
August 16, 2024 at 07:34
Well I'd prefer it if they focused on not screwing over the economy because they're worried about the political optics. I suspect that that was the re...
August 16, 2024 at 05:14
I thought the Fed was apolitical and does whatever it wanted? Their one job is to not let the economy crash regardless of the political narrative it c...
August 15, 2024 at 02:25
So some say on the right, but the bill is pretty popular based on the polling I've seen and some swing voter focus groups seem to be upset at Trump fo...
August 09, 2024 at 07:23
She's certainly moving right on some issues but not others. One example is the border where she's clearly just attached herself to the bipartisan bord...
August 08, 2024 at 08:13
If this issue overall has no impact on voters then there goes one of the biggest lines of attack against Walz.
August 07, 2024 at 22:49
Yeah I think there's one problem with that: https://twitter.com/KamalaHQ/status/1821285528504877347
August 07, 2024 at 22:27
You can say that about people's impressions about Kamala (at least she's not old and dying) but Walz is genuinely a pretty solid pick if you're a prog...
August 07, 2024 at 17:53
Yeah I'm actually surprised how much the party has unified around him like they did Kamala. Walz sounds like a more effective, relatable, and most imp...
