No, it isn't. Moreover, it's not a stamp of approval it's a warning the comment might be false.

If I were Twitter I'd double down now with a warning under every tweet; "Some people think the President is a total douche. Many state leaders don't t...

His speech is still there. He hasn't been censored. Someone else exercised their right to free speech by saying a particular comment isn't proved. It'...

That would make every article critical of the President censorship.

Trump just admitted all Republicans lie.

The test method is close to fool proof. Nevertheless about 1 to 8% false positives occur with these type of tests due to laboratory conditions. Human ...

I don't believe that's the case.

:gasp: I agree.

What video are you watching that has a cop in it? I saw a video of a cop choking a man with his knee. Do you mean you believe there was intent? And th...

Yeah, because I was being totally serious. The fact you reacted seriously to it says a lot. :rofl:

A bullet?

I guess that was that for the Democratic protests in HK that garnered exactly no meaningful support from any Western government. Fuck the CCP and fuck...

You're behind the curve. It's the "protection of cultural values and norms" and therefore not racist. Or so they state it nowadays to avoid legal trou...

You can now add that his advice to take chloroquine has caused more deaths as well : Lancet study

Hmmmm... Lots of stuff my fellow Dutchmen aren't ready for yet. Land tax, death tax, higher corporate taxes, mandatory transfer of shares to employees...

It was kind of hard. The cultural background of having a pluralistic political system makes it hard to get around voting for someone you think is tota...

More ranting. It seems some people did get the question so it's clearly you being obstinate. Enjoy that. Alone.

It's quite easy to start a new political party and influence Dutch politics. It happens almost every election. Some parties last, others don't. In gen...

Again, that is in no way, shape or form a sensible reaction to my original question and a silly proposition so removed from reality it's totally usele...

Your whole post has rather little to do with my question does it? Or are you one of those never - Trumpers and that's the depth of your political posi...

This is true. So, I think in the meantime I agree with it being better to vote for Biden next fall, but... What then? I'm afraid that for too many Ame...

Aha. I guess that's where the disconnect is for me from a cultural background. I've never voted against anybody or anything in my life. With, on avera...

I think I got confused because of the agreement with Frank Apisa's posts. The above seems to suggest you'd vote for Biden is Georgia had a chance of t...

Solidarity is a socialist concept. Definitely an issue now but so is Southern Europe's repeated flaunting of various rules. The Dutch would be happy t...

So what's your reason to vote Biden over Trump and not abstain or vote third party?

From all your arguments to vote for Biden I personally only find the issues surrounding appointments of judges on the SCOTUS as relevant. I don't beli...

With a bit of luck he now thinks he's safe and he actually gets it.

How likely is that in the meantime? I haven't been paying much attention to that for awhile now.

2. One male and one female and about 18 years of waiting.

Looking forward to Pence that much? :razz:

Yawn. The EU wasn't started to give people a feeling of being European but to avoid wars. And Christianity certainly didn't provide an understanding o...

what needs replacing? I function spectacularly well without religion as do 60% of Dutch people. There will always be people that believe in fairy tale...

Yeah, maybe because we were done with the Christian lies and bullshit somewhere around the Enlightenment.

I also wasn't aware George Papadopoulos was Russian. It was his bragging to Alexander Downer together with the DNC hack that led to the FBI starting t...

This is to me a reworking of the discussion on positive and negative liberty. What good is the absence of interference (negative liberty, eg. minimal ...

The nasty one probably. I forget which one that is.

I do. I'm not into these utilitarian calculi where the lesser evil vote results in me thinking I did the morally upright thing. Utilitarianism isn't m...

It's not about Trump or Biden though, it's Republican and Democratic. I guess it takes a view from outside the USA to realise how marginal those diffe...

None indeed. Confronted with two choices that are not materially different because the system is rigged in such a way you'll never be offered a meanin...

Slightly less bad maybe. It seems you've lost all sense of decency and social justice. I suppose if you live in a sewer you'll eventually stop smellin...

Are you asking me to entertain whether racists are decent people?

So if the article had stated "black person" it would be a racist thing? Or if he was described as a black, fat, stuttering, shy, ugly, young man, we a...

I'm judging based on his statements and voting history not the latest scandal of which the facts aren't available.

Summary: "not Trump" therefore decent. As I said, very low expectations. I get that you're at the point where voting for the lesser evil feels like a ...

You've got rather low expectations.

And if everyone thought like that the choice between Trump or Biden would never have come about.

Cool. An oligarch police state.
