What causes politics?

@Double_R
Politics is the natural result of people within a society having different opinions on how that society should function.
In other words, political bickering is the inevitable result of Diversity.

When does Biden move the US Embassy out of Jerusalem?
-->
@coal
The moving of the embassy to Jerusalem signalled what COULD be on the table for peace talks between the PLO and Israel.

Not keeping the Embassy in Jerusalem would be a straight-up appeasement 101 emboldening Hamas attacks through passive consent.

Man, liberals have no idea how lucky they are to have the institutions in the bag for them.
You call 50 years of one-party institutional rule in places like New York...Detroit...Chicago...California...and others... LUCK for the average liberal?

If that's what you consider "luck," I would hate to see those places on a bad luck day.

Maybe you are talking about the liberals in power...then I would say yes, extreme luck.

The only way to contain evil is to impose restrictions on everyone.

That includes restrictions on the government.

De-facto, this is the minimum wage for most people, by raising it we are just filling in the gaps
No, you are not. You are creating new gaps between the people capable of landing a job and producing the work output that justifies a minimum wage and those that cannot.

Those people will have to be taken care of by the government through another program since minimum wage isn't going to cut it.

Believing all people of all ages and abilities are capable of earning 15 dollars an hour is hubris of the highest order and shows a complete lack of knowledge of the differences between people.

While the government may provide charity through welfare, they cannot create a purpose for those people. People need jobs for more than just money. It's an instinctual trait to feel useful to the tribe and have a purpose. You can't purchase that with welfare checks.

The hard truth is there are people that the Military rejects that cant physically or mentally produce a big mac meal worth of work output, otherwise the military would have taken them.

Minimum wage discriminates against those people because nobody is going to hire them unless the government somehow subsidizes their wage to make up for the difference.

Many Demotards won't even listen to their party president regarding the lifting of the mask mandates.

TDS has absolutely destroyed the Democrats long after Trump retired from politics.

He did. The leftists are in disarray as to where the narrative is and who to believe. Certainly not the current president from the comments in this thread.

Captitalism vs Socialism -- ultimate debate

Globally, capitalism is responsible for lifting nearly one billion individuals out of poverty in the past 20 years alone. China is responsible for three-fourths of this achievement. Moreover, extreme poverty is disappearing. Between 1981 and 2010, China elevated 680 million people out of poverty and reduced its extreme poverty rate from 84 percent in 1980 to 10 percent today.

Have you looked at the economic freedom index lately? The USA has been losing ranks steadily. That's a much greater indicator for wealth opportunities than anything else.


Read about the factors that cause economic freedom... it is very eye-opening.

You’re talking about inherited wealth here.
Are you familiar with the statistics on how many people rise from their parent's wealth levels and how many fall? It's actually astonishing to note that wealth mobility is alive and well in America and it goes in both directions.

According to wikipedia, 57% increased wealth, 7% lost wealth.

Only 36% of the people remained in the same wealth bracket, which shows that it's not the norm for wealth to beget wealth and poverty to beget poverty.

Having credible facts in a story doesn't correlate to factual narratives when the truth is excluded and inconvenient facts are censored.

Every news agency that sacrifices context for ratings is an active and willful peddler in misinformation through selective censorship.

Well since all Trump supporters are Nazis, I guess I saw a few hundred Nazis when I went to one of his rallies.

I don't know. it seems like an insanely weird flex to claim you know an active KKK member these days when there are only 3000 of them.

It's like touching a celebrity for the rabid left I guess.

I am constantly amazed at how many KKK members people on the left claim to personally know. I have never met a single KKK member in 50 years across 15 different states.

Not only that, I haven't personally met anyone who has personally met an actual KKK member.

Correct.

leaving out context and truth doesn't qualify a news source as being credible, it just makes them entertaining.

Like that puff piece that Washington DC propaganda did on that empty child detention center. It was very entertaining that they left out the truth that the kids were simply moved to nearby tents even as they were factually correct that the detention center was empty at the time of the photo op.

The story was factually correct but the narrative was absolute bullshit tripe with no credibility.

Mass importing a bunch of people who have no relation or ties to America will help us understand different perspectives and further enrich our multicultural society. It will certainly not lead to ethnic ghettoization and conflict, nor will it depress wages unlike some racists would say.

This is extreme satire regarding the Colonization of America.

Soo, when a supposedly credible news source refuses to give the source of their news it has no credibility then. Got it.

Native Americans kill themselves just fine on their own reservations with no involvement at all from Americans.

Indian Reservations are completely managed by communal tribes and have the worst property rights laws in the entire world. with the government holding the deeds to all property. It's absolutely no wonder at all why the reservations are hellholes.

Every Indian reservation is a dystopian disaster of pernicious Marxist socialism where NO people are not allowed to own property strictly enforced by federal treaties and Everything is centrally planned.

The obvious thing right now is that Israel should not be occupying the West Bank and turning a group's homeland into a series of military checkpoints. 
I suppose you also opposed JFK's decision to make Cuba a military checkpoint for Nuclear Missile Silos.

Israel doesn't have anything to fear from Palestine any more than the USA has to fear Cuba. It's the larger players like Russia and Iran funding the proxy wars through Hamas and the PLO that are the real threat.
