Yo, Underdog, I need you to talk to your nerd friends over at r/Libertarian.
I don’t have a Reddit account. I’m sorry.
But my sort of rule is you go where you are wanted. Like would you call it immoral censorship if the Daily Wire refuses to have Bernie Sanders be a contributor to their channel? Would it be censorship if TYT refused to have Tucker Carlson be a contributor? No.
It would make more sense to have Tucker Carlson work for the Daily Wire and to have Bernie Sanders work for TYT.
I try and just go where I’m accepted. I understand how you would get angry at never being able to talk with someone again because they blocked you, but it’s not like the pre internet world. If 200 people in your social life give you the silent treatment and, “block” you, then it’s terrifying. If 200 people do that on the internet, it’s easy to find 200 replacements.
If a communist blocks you, then find people actually willing to change their mind (or at least have the illusion of being willing to change their mind) to talk politics with. You have millions of options on the internet, and nobody has been blocked by millions of people.
I have nobody blocked on social media except for a long time ago where someone tried and scam me and when someone was sexually harassing me. I don’t get offended, even to the point where you could insult my hypothetical kids and I wouldn’t care. Like I don’t get offended to the extent where it makes other people uncomfortable. Other people don’t have nearly as thick of skin as I do. I’m not one that likes to force people to tolterate stuff.
There are 2 types of crazy; the person naked, barefoot, stomping his foot and barking at the moon outside in public. And then there is the person doing the same thing inside my living room. The first guy I can totally ignore. The 2nd guy I kind of have to deal with.
In the partisan hack’s mind, you are crazy if you disagree with them. I would just go where you are tolterated. I tolterate you (if you need somewhere to vent).

I don’t think it would be fair to call me consistently libetarian anymore. I’ve gotten fired from a job and it’s very hard to find a new one; I might be going on welfare soon so it would be hypocritical of me to be against it when comparing it to starving to death. I don’t WANT to be on it, but I’m getting hopeless and I don’t want to be hypocritical. I’ve applied to maybe 45 places and nothing turned out to be decent enough work. I got one job that actually said I got it, but they never gave me hours. Another job only gives me like 2 hours a week. I’m not in a good position and I can’t tell other people to “get a job” when I’m struggling.
On social issues; I’m LUSHOOTY. I’m against our involvement with Ukraine and Israel, I am a free speech absolutist for all political ideas (even to the extent where you could insult my kids and I wouldn’t care). I think AR 15s and constitutional carry should be legal nationwide. I support the legalization of recreational cannabis nationwide. I am against the believe women movement as I support facts and evidence being required to convict someone of rape (pro 5th amendment). I am against the Patriot Act. I support gradually legalizing all drugs for recreational use. I’m against COVID vaccine mandates; I’ve been that way since the height of the pandemic. I am very pro nuclear energy.
On economic issues, I’m fiscally aggressive. I want everyone on welfare to get a government job expanding our roads where needed or similar. Have those getting government money actually EARN it by raising taxes on the GLOBALISTS and using it to make lives better for AMERICAN PATRIOTS!
No cutting welfare does not harm the poor.
Ask the poor people getting welfare; they would know better than either of us. If welfare harmed them in their eyes, then they would burn their welfare check.
I don’t want them on welfare but I want them getting paid by the government to do a useful government job funded by the globalists.
I side with we the people, not we the globalists. This means the tax rate globalists pay should be higher to fund the government jobs that benefit the low income American Patriots in this country.

If you think rural people are stupid, then does that include rural New Englanders? Or are they exempt because they tend to go more left?
Be more direct: You think Trump supporters are stupid, not rural people. I think the smartest people are the ones who think about beliefs before picking a side instead of just picking a party and turning their brain off.

@Best.Korea
There are 2 scenarios if Stan is portrayed:
- He is portrayed positively
- He is portrayed negatively
#2 is a way more profitable business model than #1, even if society is way more pro Satan and pro pagan than they would like to admit (Christmas, Easter, Premarital sex, most people not going to church regularly, Separation of Church and State that isn't going away anytime soon, rock music that is praising the Devil, this hand sign).
A lot of people don't want to be labeled as Satanists out of fear of public disapproval, but they incorporate many pro Satan things in their life (for most people, way more than Christianity). God and Satan (if they exists) cares more about the actions behind the label, whereas the low IQ majority care more about the label. Just like how white people don't want to be called racist as they move out of the inner city and head towards the suburbs "to get away from crime" (aka getting away from black and Hispanic people). I can respect a Tom Bouie style racist that doesn't hate black people but admits he doesn't want to live around them because they are black.
People want the socially accepted label (whether it's non-Satinist, non-racist) but they don't want the sacrifice that comes with it of waiting until marriage to have sex or moving to Bridgeport, CT or Camden, NJ.

You are correct, but the 2016 election is irrelevant compared to the 2024 election.
The electoral college is something you are going to have to deal with until it gets overturned.

Trump lost the 2020 election by 7-8 pts and now he is winning the popular vote by 2-3 pts. It's a 10 pt gain. This is an average of all polls.

Does spending a shitload on foreign wars, welfare and astro turfing faggot pride stuff usually help create more money or does that stuff cost money?
It costs money. Cutting spending on foreign wars and the LGBT pride parades should be done (not welfare because people need it to live and that is what our male majority government has done, so it can't be feminine). But doing all of these won't raise enough money to pay off the debt.
The POD Plan is better.

You hate Trump. The issue (for you) is not rural people existing; it's the fact that in the US, rural people are more likely to back Trump than urban people.
So you may be celebrating, but since you hate Trump, you shouldn't be. If you were honest, then you would view someone like my grandfather (white skinhead boomer veteran that hates Trump and DeSantis and is not voting for him in 2024) the same way as an urban BLM supporter. You would also view the stereotypical redneck the same way you view Cadence Owens (urban black young female Trump supporter).
Yes; rural people are becoming less common. BUT, Trump supporters are becoming more common.
2024 General Election: Trump vs. Biden vs. Kennedy vs. West vs. Stein Polls | RealClearPolling says Trump is winning the popular vote against Biden. He lost it by about 8 pts in 2020 and now he is winning it by 2 pts (despite Jan 6 and despite him being a convicted felon). Any generic democrat would be able to beat Trump easily.
But the democrat is Biden.
A decent chunk of the US voted against Trump in 2016 and 2020 but will vote for him in 2024. You hate Trump. How do you win this voting group back?

You trust what jurors say without seeing for yourself is that right?

I am not sure how decreasing our ranking on the economic freedom.index would get us that higher quality of living correlation we are after.
You just said Norway has a high amount of economic freedom and they have UHC. So lets have our ranking be the same as Norway's. All Norway policies; copy them 100%. Then our ranking would be the same as Norway's.
Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgenderideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knotinextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexualliberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Itspurveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their productis as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime.Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it shouldbe imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classedas registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms thatfacilitate its spread should be shuttered.
Here, they justify the porn ban with a bunch of stuff that may or may not be true. But they still believe in banning porn. You may have an argument you really think is good for defending murder, but if you are defending murder, then your argument inherently isn't good no matter how you try and dress it up. Same thing for a porn ban (I'd rather ban porn than legalize murder, but the same point still applies).
So you really are okay with the left censoring things but if the right wants to censor one thing
Nope; I'm against censorship no matter who does it. If I have a kid and I'm a public figure, someone can say something bad about my 5 year old son and I would tell my son to grow a thick skin. That's how much I believe in free speech; I let people talk trash about my kids to my face.
I guess you aren't intelligent enough to know that market share is more important than tax rate and by creating a tax rate that destroys competitors they increase market share.
So are you saying capitalism creates censorship? Then it looks like you will have to pick between free market capitalism and free speech.
Let me just list people who were deplatformed off the top of my head1. Alex Jones2. Andrew Tate3. Jordan Boyde4. The Babylon Bee5. President Trump
None of these people should be censored, but if it's profitable for Big Tech to censor them, then they will do so in the name of capitalism and making a profit. Lazzaire faire Capitalism or free speech; pick one; at this moment they are contradictory.

They are very high up on the economic freedom index, so same thing.
Alright; so lets copy Norway and have capitalism with universal healthcare and free college.
Because it is retarded. Just let the private sector handle it. Maybe we could add jobs in some government areas though.
You think building more lanes on congested state roads and highways is retarted? There are several roads in my area that I think need an extra lane and unless you are from a small town, the same is true for you. We need more lanes on many of the roads. We also could hire a bunch of people to build the tallest building in the world; steal the title from the UAE. That would be putting American first and actually making America 1st.
What page is it on?
5. You can CTRL+F "Pornography should be outlawed" if you need to to make it easier. Here is the link:
but if the cost of saving America is you can't look at other dudes penises on the internet, it's worth it.
If it wasn't for that part of the bill, it would be loud republican that did Jan 6 vs quiet democrat that might be having dementia issues, but in terms of policy, neither would change much. Our country would still get trillions of extra dollars deeper in debt. But I don't nut to dude's dicks online.
I think the majority of guys watch porn; so I also think banning porn would cause an increase in rape rates and premarital sex (which leads to a lot of unplanned pregnancies and abortions and STI transmissions). From a freedom and a pragmatic standpoint, it makes sense to legalize porn.

40% of jews owned slaves https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/jews-and-the-african-slave-trade/That is a Jewish source.
I read the article, that was true. But you are forgetting what year this was in:
Eli Faber, a historian at New York City’s John Jay College reported that in 1790, Charleston’s Jews owned a total of 93 slaves, and that “perhaps six Jewish families” lived in Savannah in 1771.
Pretty much everyone owned slaves back then if you had the money. It's like getting angry at George Washington because he owned slaves.
I would get more upset at someone who owned slaves in 1860 than someone who owned then in 1790 because people are a product of their cultural time.
if 40% of hews owned slaves and less than 5% of whites in the country owned them, why is white character being attacked when hews were more likely to be owners of slaves
I am anti reparations; I don't blame modern day white people (gentile or Jewish) for stuff their ancestors did 250 years ago.

Venezuela does a lot to help poor people through subsidies communism etc. But we have a ton of poverty and death there.
What about Norway?
Poland does very little for the poor and just focuses on building a great economy so it's easy to find jobs etc.
But when I talk about making more government jobs, you don't agree with it.
What happens with things like food price caps is you get businesses unable to afford to make food so they go out of business or you get underground markets or you get the government stepping in to provide food and you end up like Venezuela.
So then if this is true, then why would food be expensive to begin with? Yeah, the fed shouldn't be doing inflation, but you can't blame any POTUS for that because the federal reserve board members can't get fired by the POTUS.
the zionist who is now threatening to reduce resources to Israel, the guy who openly shows support for the defund police movement
This isn't Biden; I think some funding should be taken from the police and have it fund self defense classes so Americans can protect themselves instead of relying on the government (aka police). Defunding Israel is putting America first just as much as defunding Ukraine (I agree with both).
the guy literally inviting trannies to the white house to expose their tit's is definitely jot beholden to leftists at all.
To be fair, that actually is pandering.
NOpe, you literally never provided me a quote from that document

Then they starve or mooch off of people. As long as they have the opportunity is what matters.
It's fine to advocate that, but don't act like you want to help poor people; you don't. The only way you want to reduce the poverty rate is by letting poor people die (and this is protected under the 1st amendment). But don't act like you care about poor people; you don't, so don't act like you have their interests at heart; you have the globlaist's interests at heart.
You do not regulate them to lower costs.
Price ceilings on foods reduce their costs and the demand for food is perfectly inelastic.
High food prices are a result of capitalism. Now, I'm fine with that; but the MAGA socialists aren't.
They still need to be catered to for democrats to win elections
Biden hasn't done too much leftist catering.
I linked you to the policy mandates so tell me what page the porn ban is on, and tell me how long it took you to read all 900 pages
I'm not reading 900 pages. I CTRL+F'd the quote I needed. You are just too dense and too much of a partisan hack to call the republicans wrong. You'd rather go after Jewish people.

The slave trade was dominated by Jews
This seems very unrealistic. There were at most 3000 Jews in the US in 1820; most of whom lived in northern cities. There were about 350K slave owners.

Just an economy where people can work if they want to but maybe not if they can't prevent themselves from being a shit employee
If they can't prevent themselves from being a shit employee, then what is your solution? If it's to let them starve, then believe that, but don't act like you want to get them out of poverty; you don't.
Um no, you are back to thinking like a girl.
I would say Valley girls tend to have this, "get a job" mentality while they are unwilling to due to having rich parents.
As nice as it is that Boomers have a bigger portfolio, some of us would like to be able to pay rent and buy food, like we could do with Trump in office.
Regulating the price of food and shelter is a left wing idea.
Maybe before he became a empty husk and became beholden to leftist interests.
The Soc Dems hate Biden. I watch their pages; I know what they think even if sometimes I don't.
I have literally linked you to the project 2025 web page. It is a heritage foundation project which has policy proposals like creating American Energy dominance which can be found in chapter 12 in their playbook.
I support nuclear energy, so credit where it's due. But there are absolutely horrible ideas in there that I have said and cited.
Trump implemented 75% of their policies in 2016
Project 2025 didn't exist in 2016.
They have been very responsive but I am ineligible to help them personally because I disagree with them on to many issue, though I applied
I would disagree with them more than you would, so I don't think they would respond to my stuff either.

As the late, great mark twain said “it’s hard to argue with a smart person, it’s impossible with an idiot.”
I would say though I'm not being an idiot. An idiot can't defend why they love/hate Trump, they would accuse him of being a racist when they can't back it up (or they would claim he's the greatest POTUS ever without backing it up). I'm doing none of that. Any claim I make about Trump I can back up.
If you’re naive enough to think that Biden is doing well, then that’s your problem.
My argument is not that Biden is doing well; it's that he is the lesser of 2 evils with him v Trump.

These are random images on google maps.
They look much better than:
Black men have been feminized due to a lot of liberal programming but they are waking up from it, which is why they are voting for more right wing candidates than in years prior.
They are still very left wing. We will see what happens.
For example a female would solve homelessness with homeless shelters and soup kitchens, while a masculine thinker would create economic policies to allow holding jobs, acquiring jobs and having affordable housing is prioritized.
So a universal jobs guarantee?
You can see this with how Trumps policies created economic prosperity between 2016 and 2020 and see how we are all struggling to pay bills after 2020.
The stock market has been going up under Trump and Biden by comparable amounts per year.
WELL, you are literally choosing between a leftist and a moderate
Biden is more moderate than Trump, although moderate is a subjective term. In Canada, moderate there is far left here.
if you are voting for a country that goes to the left at high speed instead of the side that keeps both sides competitive.
Biden is not doing runaway leftism; Trump on the other hand seems to be doing runaway rightism; with things like Project 2025.

Your comparison of interracial marriage doesn’t work because it doesn't affect anybody, abortion does: it kills a baby. Therefore you can’t take a libretarian approach to it.
This is why I want a federal ban at conception. It's unrealistic, but it's honest. I also want a culture of vasectomies to be the norm.
The jury actually was corrupt (and was influenced by Judge Merchan) because he told them ‘that they don’t have to name the crime they are convicting trump of.’
If this is the case, then the jury would have found Trump, "not guilty" because the jury got approved by lawyers from both sides.
does “stand down and stand by” sound anything like “storm the capitol, end free and fair elections, and make me a dictator.”
It does; like unironically.
You’re twisting the truth. Biden lost about 13 million jobs and created about 12 million. Gas and Homes also both went up about 30% under Biden. Anyways, Trump lost about 3 million jobs and created about 3.75 million, a 25% surplus. Not to mention that trump had to navigate through the peak of covid.
I'm looking at the unemployment rate; it did go down more under Trump than it did Biden (Civilian unemployment rate (bls.gov)) (trying to ignore the COVID spike). So Trump deserves credit here. The unemployment rate is pretty low still; I remember when it was like 6%. It's a .5% increase in the unemployment rate vs a porn ban.
Me too. And does it look like Biden is doing anything to help it? no. Instead he’s funding billions in ukraine aid (which trump says he will force ukraine to pay back if he’s elected.) He’s giving out free healthcare to illegal aliens, and he’s giving iran money to build terror tunnels. Israel too but they are allies and he’s not giving them as much. Trump is an amazing example of being pro-Israel and putting America first, i.e. “anyone who does business with Iran can’t do business with the U.S.
Biden is bad for the debt, but so was Trump. Wanting to fund Israel is not putting America first.
But Israel is our ally
The left says the same thing about Ukraine.
Consistent America first ethic requires us to not fund Ukraine IOR (Inclusive Or) Israel.
The Federal Reserve merely prints money. The president controls it — How come there wasn’t inflation under Trump?
The federal reserve controls inflation. But I heard it's because most of the federal board members during Trump's time in office were not appointed by Trump. A federal reserve position is 14 years long and there are 7 members; one term starts every 2 years. So currently, out of the 7 board members; 1 is from Biden; 2 are from Trump; 2 are from Obama, and 2 are from Bush. It's not like all 7 board members are there because of Biden, although inflation should be lower; I agree with that.
Haven’t you read the constitution? A nation without borders is not a nation at all!
I've read the constitution and there is nothing in the constitution that prohibits open borders. Plenty of nations have open borders and they are still nations (all the EU nations with one another; Ireland and the UK, Nepal and India). You can have a border while that border is an open border. I don't see the issue with that.
First of all, they are not immigrants. An immigrant refers to a person who came here legally and made something of themselves. not the illegal aliens who come here to pillage, rape, abuse, steal, kill, etc. (Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, Laken Riley. Look them up.)
There are 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US. Surely the vast majority of them are not murdering, raping, etc.
Second of all, I agree that anyone who does one of the above acts should be killed, but under Biden, crime is rampant and completely unenforced.
The death penalty is currently a states issue; although I think the penalty for murder and rape should be death nationwide. Theft should be community service and if they run off, then their sentence gets increased and they get whipped 5-10x.
The murder rate went up under both POTUS'es (more with Biden, but it could just be a post COVID world so that made people less mentally healthy); the rape rate skyrocketed under Trump; not sure about Biden. The overall crime rate fell under Trump; not sure about Biden. The results are mixed.
Based on most of what you have said, you share a lot of trump’s policies. For example, you mentioned being a “high slope” guy. Meaning you don’t wanna prosecute petty crimes but you do for the major crimes. That’s more aligned with trump than Biden.
Trump wants to prosecute harmless undocumented immigrants; this is not high slope. He didn't legalize weed (neither did Biden); neither of these is high slope. Neither Trump nor Biden instituted a high slope ideology for murder and rape. I think a big reason why Biden is actually tough on the border is to try and appeal to the MAGA base; if Trump didn't run, then we would be more high slope on undocumented immigration.
1. He is Senile, takes crack (so does his son btw) and can’t raise his kids properly (as I just mentioned)2. Economy, Inflation, Border (all the important stuff)3. His weak foreign policy which not only negatively impacts the world geopolitically, but also here at home (e.g. reason 2)4. He also puts ukraine, taiwan, illegal aliens and even israel before America and american citizens.5. He is a puppet for the Democratic Socialists. He is 81. He falls down stairs and off bikes.
1. It is unknown as to whether or not Joe Biden does crack. His son does crack, but I don't like the idea of getting angry at the parents just because the kid is a fuck up. Like Adam Lanza did a mass murder spree at Sandy Hook. Nobody got upset at his dad for the shooting.
2. Biden and Trump have both been bad for the economy; the federal reserve is to blame for inflation; and I don't like how Biden is handling the border (deportations) but it's not like Trump would be much better.
3. Define, "weak foreign policy"
4. Biden and Trump both put some foreign group before Americans; Biden does it with Ukraine and Israel; Trump does it with Israel.
5. Democratic socialists don't like Biden; he's not their puppet. FDR was in a wheelchair; Biden is running to be a president; not a professional basketball player; physical fitness isn't too important; we've had fat presidents before.

California is a shit hole.
Every state has some shitholes,, whether it's a hood or a trailer park.
You really have to bend over backwards to defend being a voter who is inclined to feminine styles of thinking .
Define, "feminine style of thinking". Because many actual women vote conservative and many actual men vote liberal. There is a slight correlation (I think 56% of women vote left compared to 50% of men), but also like 90% of blacks vote left. If, "feminine style of thinking" is code for, "democrat voting", then I can say the same thing about "black style of thinking".

So only one party can win but it is not a one party situation. LoL okay
Vermont: Very left wing state (about as left wing as California). Has a Republican governor. Why? He gives the left a lot of what they want. Concede some issues to the left that will get more left wingers to back you than right wingers who wouldn’t vote for you because of the thing you said and the republicans become more electable.
You are literally watching democrats lock up opponents
Nobody wants Larry Elder, Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, or Vivek Ramaswamy to be locked up. Nobody wanted to lock up George Bush when he won in 2000. Nobody went after Rommney. They are only targeting Trump because they think he did some horribly illegal stuff. I don’t even know if Trump did; I just trust the juries in this situation because I know Trump’s prosecution and defense will both approve of the jury (and I’m consistent; I trust the jury with Kyle Rittenhouse and Andrew Tate and OJ Simpson).
censor free speech
If Big Tech wanted to censor free speech, then Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder would have never became famous (because they would have been censored before they could claim Big Tech censored them). Why would Big Tech want to censor the party that wants to cut Big Tech’s taxes anyway?
FdR came very close to becoming a dictator.
How?
John Fetterman seems to be calling out some of the stupidity on the left like open border policies and complete gun bans. This type of Democrat will no longer exist and will be pushed out of the party if Trump loses.
Then he becomes a pro Israel democrat; and many republicans would convert to being pro Israel democrats. Israel btw has very left wing abortion laws.
The choice is simple this election cycle. You either want to turn America into Venezuela or you want to make America great again
The way to Make America Great Again is by getting rid of Trump. Venezuela btw has very right wing laws on abortion; so I’m not sure you want to be calling it a leftist shithole.

So if trump wants to ban porn, then sure that’s not the best thing.
Thanks for acknowledging that. If Project 2025 thinks porn is bad and would want to treat it like tobacco (minus the age restriction due to many kids being addicted to it) where you tell public school kids to never watch porn and that it’s addictive, then fine. My issue is when they call for it to be banned when so many people are addicted to it.
Anything bigger, like federal, will result to a monarchy. Anything smaller, like each individual person, will result in anarchy.
Interracial marriage is legal federally. It also is up to each individual person whether they want to interracially marry. Is this a monarchy AND anarchy? Your definitions don’t make any sense.
No, he wasn’t convicted. He was sentenced, but not convicted. If he was convicted he would be in jail, but he’s appealing so he’s not.
He is sentenced and is probably going to be convicted in June or July. It’s what I heard.
Also, the trial was a sham. The judge and his daughter are crazy-left (they told the jury they did not have to even state the crime)
That’s why Trump had a trial by jury (and the jury was so neutral that every single member got approved by both Trump’s prosecution and Trump’s lawyers). The judge could be a communist and if the jury says you aren’t guilty, then Trump gets no punishment.
but trump has never supported it in the first place.
Trump told the proud boys to, “stand down and stand by” if he lost in 2020.
1. His economy (more jobs, price of groceries, market rate, etc.)2. Less inflation (as noted above)3. NO wars, whereas Biden created THREE wars4. His Border5. His intolerance for crime
1. The US deficit hit records under Trump and Biden. The unemployment rate went down under both. I’m more scared of the debt.
2. Inflation is the federal reserve’s responsibility, not the president’s. It’s like being on the left and blaming Obama for Clarience Thomas (who was appointed by Bush).
3.
Trump held U.S. military operations attacking Syrian government targets ( here , here ) and most recently presided over the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani via U.S. drone strike (here).
4. America should have open borders and ICE should be abolished. If an immigrant (or native born citizen) rapes or murders, then they should face death, but the vast majority of both groups (even undocumented immigrants) are totally harmless. Punishing every undocumented immigrant based on the murders of a few is like castrating every man because a few of them rape.
5. What crimes are you referring to? I’m a high slope guy when it comes to crime:
High slope ideology:
Let alone, Biden is an awful POTUS and I’ll happily provide reasons for that too if this isn’t enough.
You can send your reasons. :)

Aren't you voting for biden in an election where if the democrats win you will see America become a one party state like Venezuela or North Korea?
I’m voting for Biden, but America won’t become a one party state if Biden wins. America is more likely to become a one party state if Trump wins. Even in states like California, NY, TX, and WY, they are not one party states because other politicians from the minority party are allowed to run and debate the majority party.
but honestly the republican party will never be competitive again if Trump loses
Then find a way to become competitive again. Let’s say there are 2 companies; Company A and Company B. They both sell sneakers and more and more people prefer company A. What does company B have to do to set at competitive to company A? They have to adapt to the new market.
The GOP needs to adapt to the new free market of voters if they become unelectable. Maybe they ditch Trump and focus on nuclear energy and banning abortion. Maybe they leave behind the undocuphobic rhetoric and focus on expanding gun rights.
We have had elections with Reagan and FDR that were blowout elections. What did the losing party do? They modified their strategy.
And unless you work for company B, then why would you care if they go out of business? There would still be other competitors to company A. If company A becomes a monopoly, then they break up into dividing factions. In Puerto Rico, the 2 main parties there are left wing; but one of them supports Statehood and the other wants to remain a US territory.
If the Democrats get pretty much every senate and electoral seat in the near future, then they will develop disagreement. Some Democrats would be pro Israel; others would be pro Palestine; some would be pro Ukraine; others would be isolationist (I can see many Republicans opting to become pro Israel democrats to be more marketable).
I would assume you wouldn’t mind voting for a Pro Israel democrat (the right loves Pro Israel democrats like John Fettermann). Maybe the Republicans become libetarian and keep many of their positions but get rid of others. Maybe you have 8 or so political parties and you do rank choice voting to figure out which party wins power.

Anyone that is claiming Anti Zionism is anti semetism but Ye West isn't anti sematic doesn't make sense to me on this.

Surely it's possible to believe both of the following:
1. Religious symbols have no place in public school unless it is advertised by individual religious students or staff (a kid wearing a cross is fine; a public school having a cross publicly displayed isn't).
2. In order to graduate school, you need to be able to do reading and math.
Like, it's called common sense and not being a partisan hack.

. Project 2025. It's relevant contents:Porn bannedNot true. This is a lie about project 2025
This is their website and you can volunteer to help them, they are open about their objectives.
I looked here:
Foreword: A Promise to America
And they call for outlawing porn here:
Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.
You can CTLR+F if you need to.
It was a decision made by the Supreme Court and it's funny you have this criticism when Trump is being blasted by pro lifers because he thinks it's up to the stayes if they want to allow abortion and not up to the president.
Why leave it up to the states? Why not leave it up to the counties? Or the cities? Or the precincts? Or the neighborhoods? Or up to each individual woman? States rights is a bad reason for getting rid of Roe V Wade as states rights tramples individual rights. My reason for eliminating it is because I want a nationwide abortion ban from conception; not because I believe that the states should decide abortion policy.
He is not a convicted felon.
He is and your argument for why he is not makes no sense.

If you are left wing on the issue, then fine. The private sector has the right to censor speech, but I don't agree with them actually censoring speech (but they should have the right to do it). Just like I don't agree with someone smoking weed; but I think they should have the right to do it.

Not on abortion, because you are harming someone else significantly by getting an abortion. Any dude that dates my daughter, I would make get a vasectomy and store pre vasectomy sperm in a hospital freezer before they had sex.

I would let my hypothetical daughter have whatever values she wantsDisgusting
It's what I have to do if free speech is a thing. Counter her speech with my own, but if she turns out communist; eh; she turns out communist. I wouldn't like it if my Dad forced me to be a liberal.
As long as she is only hurting herself. Let her get drug addicted, become a whore, start listening to nickleback.
I should have added a caveout: Or unless she's too young. I would tell her the dangers of drug addiction, but if she wants to smoke and she's old enough, I would require any bf that dates her to get a vasectomy before there is sex, I don't care if she listens to Nickleback; I listen to them.
Bro, you would let your daughter destroy herself because you love your ideology more than you love your own flesh and blood.
And that's why I don't want to have any kids.
High suicide rates post transition, high chance of mental illness, and high chance of not being able to enter God's kingdom.
Probably low chance of all of that (except for God's kingdom; I don't think there is a god that cares if he gets worshipped or not).
Enjoy the blue hair and her crying as you carve the turkey. Enjoy when she brings Tyrone home and he smokes Crack in your driveway
She's too young for that. But I wouldn't mind her dating a black dude; I wouldn't mind dating a black woman.
She also could become libertarianWomen usually only become rugged individualistic when raised by alpha males, so this is unlikely to occur
I've met libertarian whores before. To you, "alpha" is synonymous with, "right wing partisan hack" (which seems kindof beta; I mean imagine following everything Ben Shapiro or Kyle Kulinski say without thinking for yourself).
or pro Israel if she so choosesWTF dude. This is more disgusting than when you said you were okay with your daughter doing a procedure that is known to increase her chances of suicide and send her down a road of tons of mental health challenges even if she manages to not kill herself
You got mad when I said I would let my daughter be pro Palestine and you got mad when I said I would let my daughter be pro Israel. Like, make up your mind.

Conservative women are happier than liberal women. Just teach her good values and she will outlive the boy by 5-10 years and be plenty happy
Not always. Michelle Obama is happier than Melania Trump.
I believe in this thing called free speech. I would let my hypothetical daughter have whatever values she wants if they don't harm others significantly, even if it means they want to transition or become communist or Pro Palestine (until the current thing switches). She also could become libertarian or pro Israel if she so chooses.

Socialized medicine would steal some of their labor
Socialized medicine merely makes doctors government employees. I don’t agree with UHC, but it wouldn’t enslave doctors.
Republicans = opposition to public spending except police and military
If I was using your logic, then I would call high military spending the same as slavery.
What made conventional slavery bad was it was basically a 100% tax on poor people and the poor people weren’t allowed to leave their area. That, and the inevitable rape and lack of rights that often came with slavery. To compare the globalists paying a higher tax rate to slavery is an insult to the people that actually endured slavery.
Either you want the globalists to pay more in taxes or you support the globalists.

I don't think there is a god because tomorrow the sun will rise, it will become daytime and one off the 2 things will happen:
- There will be dozens of iterations of whatever happens to be the correct religion with an affirmation. Example, "Christainty is correct", "Islam is correct", "Hinduism is correct", etc.
- There will be no such iterations tomorrow.
Because of this, since we all know #2 will happen, it means I'm an atheist (or at least a believer in a god that doesn't care if he is worshipped or not, so a deist).

Name three reasons why you like Biden and three reasons why you dislike Trump. Since you started the forum, I want to hear your opinion first as a framework.
I don't like Biden, but I can tolerate him compared to Trump.
3 things I don't like about Trump:
1. Project 2025. It's relevant contents:
- Porn banned
- Trump being a dictator, eliminating free and fair elections and democracy
2. Jan 6
3. Repealing Roe V Wade (which I actually agree with) but then not enforcing a culture of vasectomies. If abortion is to be banned (which I agree with), then men should get vasectomies before they have sex (like what I would be willing to do). Trump did not promote a culture of vasectomies (probably because bodily autonomy for me, but not for thee).
4. Convicted felon. In Florida, they tried to ban felons from voting in their sentence (which I agreed with). Anyone that is unable to vote for should be unable to be voted for.

he focuses on two political causes taken up by Adams—nationalism and anti-slavery
Virtually everyone is anti-slavery. Virtually everyone is nationalistic to some extent.
As president, Adams proposed extensive internal improvements at federal expense, the sale of public land only sparingly and at premium prices, protective tariffs, federal support for scientific advancement, and a national university—all to promote a national republic.
This sounds very left wing.
is to recall—not to invent—the country’s principles, and to apply and defend them in the flux of human opinion and material circumstances
Which principles?
” Accordingly, conservatism is defined by its opposition to radical ideas and enthusiastic, immediate programs to perfect human nature in the rearrangement of society.[4] Yet Adams subscribed to and acted on behalf of all of these conservative propositions.
So Status quo defending.
