I would like to marry multiple women at the same time; but I'm fine with 1 if she won't let me do polygamy.

Jill Stein. I don't agree with funding Israel as I'm America first.
You don't just shut out your political opponents in the debates.
The Biden crowd preaches about, "protecting democracy" until it's time to protect democracy by letting 3rd parties and non-establishment candidates debate Biden; then Biden doesn't want to debate other people in his primary or 3rd parties in the general.
A vote for Biden or Trump is a vibes vote because these people don't have principles. The right says, "free and fair elections", the left says, "protecting democracy" but neither party head debated people in the primaries, so it's all empty slogans meant to appeal to the sheep.

I'm at least 18. But you would say that of any Biden critic if you didn't know their age, so I just brush it off.

Dogs are lower IQ then me but I still love them.
You believe your dog is inferior to you.
I can personally tell you that in the Jewish community a lot of Jews believe they are safer in countries with a large amount of racial diversity .
Jews lean left. What's your point? There is nothing wrong with leaning left (or right).
I know liberals say he is bad. I don't know much about him. I listened to one podcast where him and Lauren southern was in it, but he seemed to be trolling her and promoting fascism while she said he is only joking like that because he has never lived under an oppressive government and if he did then he would change his mind.
So you believe he is a troll?

How exactly does this lead us to “he is not racist”?
Why would a black woman kiss someone that hates them for being black?

I don’t think it’s that they don’t agree with it, it’s that they don’t benefit from it. RCV would make it more so that candidates have to appeal to moderate voters, which is not how most of them got elected.
This applies to both parties equally.

then vote jill stien, I like her too. For me, it’s between her and RFK but I prefer rfk becuase he talks more about the bigger issues like the border and gun rights,
I’m right wing on guns, left wing on immigration; I’m libetarian on both.
but also has some more liberal views like the environment
I’m not a climate change alarmist, but I’m pro nuclear energy just in case.

how do you propose someone prove they are not an anti-serbian racist serbianophobe ?
Simple, you ask them, "Do you hate some people because they are Serbian?" If they answer yes, then they are an anti-serb racist. If they answer no, then they are not an anti-serb racist.

He is at least a bigot, he did mention race essentialism in there, which might be racist. He thinks Jews are using racial diversity to their own benefit (which usually means he thinks non-whites are easier to control, hence lower IQ biologically).
I read between the lines a little bit.
I hope we can agree Nick Fuentes is bad, even if we are splitting hairs.

The converse is not identical to the original statement.
The original statement: If you have a X friend, then you are not bigoted to the X group.
The converse: If you don't have a X friend, then you are bigoted to the X group.
Converses are not logically equivalent to the original statement.

I’m talking about what is, not what it should be. You’re having a different conversation.
I would assume over 90% of politicians know what rank choice voting is and they don't agree to it (from both parties).

Your 1st paragraph was a good point.
Gaetz was indicted for trafficking and having sex with a minor, it is not a stretch to call him a pedophile. It’s a very different thing when it’s done indiscriminately with no evidence.
In my book, you can only call Gaetz a pedo with merit if he gets convicted of acting on pedophillia. Then he should be killed (which wouldn't be a big deal for the GOP because some other republican can replace Gaetz in his district and win).

At the end of the day, you're still believing and trusting in others without being in the jury yourself, having all the superior access to the so called evidence, etc., seeing things for yourself.It's similar with just believing and trusting of others testimonies. For example, testimonies of the apostles.
The difference here is with the Trump jury, I know they were saying what they actually believed. Many people can use religion to grift and make money. If God wanted everyone to worship him, then there would only be one god worldwide. Instead, there are many different religions.
Now, don't get me wrong, modern day christains actually believe in their religion. Just like modern day conservatives stand with Israel and hate anti smetism. You think Ben Shapiro cares that much about anti semetism? I don't think he does; he fired Cadence Owens because she was Pro Palestine; not because she said, "The problem with Hitler was he had ambitions outside of Germany".
Surely being pro Halocaust is more anti semetic than being pro Palestine? But the former stance is more of a right wing stance, so Ben Shapiro tolterated it; because Ben Shapiro is a grifter. His goal is to use politics to make money; not to be consistent with any ideological beliefs.
A lot of right wing influencers are grifters; not all, but a lot. I suppose chrisima is going to be something that the right is manipulated by the most; and conservative and Christain historical preachers (the ones that founded Christainity, Islam, Hinnduism, Judaism, etc) tended to be the most charismatic. But as the population has gotten smarter on average, religion is becoming less important in our lives since we are less prone to chrismatic propoganda than 2000 years ago. 1000 years ago, you say that stars are light from heaven, people actually believe you. But science has made people less gulliable.

I think that the general consensus amongst vegans, is that eating meat should be illegal.I doubt your vegan sincerity.
I'm pragmatic; 97% of the US population isn't vegan; you can't prosecute 97% of the population.
So if you want to fuck a pig just do it quietly and in private.
I don't want to, but I'm a liberty guy, so I think people should be allowed to do victimless degenerate things.
Certainly wouldn't need to bother with the vasectomy.
True, but I'm not sexually attracted to animals. I only want to have sex with hot and adult women (that I'm married too).

I can understand the, "Vote for who you want instead of the lesser of 2 evils".
If I voted for who I wanted to win, then it might not be RFK; it might be Jill Stein. She wants a universal jobs guarantee which I think would benefit the nation.

Dating a black person doesn’t really have that same effect because it’s a race.
I think it does. White supremests hate whites that marry blacks and have mixed kids. You saw how much they freaked out when a white woman (forgot her name) had a mixed kid (with an Iranian, not a black) and she got viral for saying the N word while white. She was the white supremest wet dream until they found out she has a mixed kid; then they cancelled her.

I don’t like RFK either. If the 2 main people were RFK and Biden, then I would pick RFK, but I don’t like politicians that posture as anti war and then want to fund Israel’s war.

@Moozer325
I'm sort of thinking though the standard should be, "If you are dating a person knowing they are X, then you can't be bigoted towards X people". I would even argue, "If you have a black friend, then you aren't racist towards black people" and similar for transgenders. People seem to be more strict than that.
An actual anti-black racist wouldn't be friends with someone who is black even if they had the choice to be friends with a black person (whites living in towns 99% white don't have many black friends to pick from).

He banned it because the right wanted to ban TikTok. It's like getting angry at Biden for deporting people; he only did that to try and appease the MAGA crowd (which is impossible for Biden to do).

A white man says, "I'm not racist; my girlfriend is black". Blacks argue that you can still be racist with a black girlfriend.
A cisgender man says, "I'm not transphobic; my girlfriend is trans". The trans community is actually convinced by that.
Hence, why transgenders are more grateful than blacks.

Irrelevant. This is basic human nature and has nothing to do with your question.
Politicians have to know more about current issues than people not trusted to make policy decisions. Just like I would expect a pilot to be more up to date with flying rules than non-pilots.
Are you seriously denying that the MAGA right would not play their conspiracy games with this?They might play conspiracy gamesNo, they will. No reasonable person would pretend otherwise, and it absolutely matters to the question of whether this will happen anytime soon.
If they will play conspiracy games, then they will, but unless you act brute force with MAGA world, then you will never get what you want. MAGA is in the minority, but they have a majority of the political energy.

FLRW just posted it, but the fact you had to ask makes my point. They would have done this to anyone.
Good point. I watched the clip. But the right won't get away with claiming Barack Obama looks like he has dementia; Obama doesn't give off dementia vibes; Biden does.
Now republicans regularly accuse democrats of being groomers and pedophiles with no evidence whatsoever and no one cares.
Both sides do this (Catholic Church, Matt Gaetz).

Bestiality is degenerate and funny, but jailing doesn't make sense. We kill animals for food and nobody complains about how animals can't consent to being slaughtered. The harsh truth is killing animals for food is not needed for our survival because all nutrients can be obtained through plants. It's a reality people don't like, but it's the truth.
Leave the issue up to the states.

Still, though, I would not vote for a lesser of two evils, so I vote for neither. I could not vote for I guy who I still think is evil, even if it’s the lesser.

Obama’s unapproval ratings were very high when considering how scandal free his administration was compared to his predecessors.
It would be high among Republicans, but I think nationwide, Obama’s approval rating mainly stayed above 50%. He won Florida (2x).
But at that time there was no OANN or News Max and Fox News wasn’t anything like it is today. I can only imagine the filth those networks would broadcast if he were to somehow serve another term.
Why would they treat Obama differently then vs now? They tried to get us to think Obama was born in Africa; that had little effect since pretty much everyone that believes Obama was born in Africa wouldn’t vote for him even without that propaganda.
Now, if Obama was born in Africa, then it shouldn’t matter because nobody has a principled stance against voting for immigrants for POTUS. You would rather have Ilhan Omar be POTUS over DeSantis and the right would prefer Elon Musk to Elizabeth Warren. Being an immigrant shouldn’t matter for the POTUS job.
By showing the skydivers whom he was talking to instead of cropping them out to make it look like a lost senile old man.
Wait, are you saying that Biden was talking to skydivers instead of to himself? If so, then can you send the video link to the real video?

It’s a relatively new thing, so as with anything new it’s show to catch on.
For your normie grandparent that spends her time watching Family Fued, this is a good reason. For politicians, this is not. Every politician should have a public stance on Rank Choice Voting and why they believe what they believe in that issue. Grandparents don’t have to be ideologically up to date, politicians should be.

Rural areas are literally bitching about California residents moving to them and then voting for the same policies that made California unlivable.
Where We Came From and Where We Went, State by State - The New York Times (nytimes.com) says the following:
- 75% of those born in CA stayed in CA.
- 82% of those born in TX stayed in TX.
- Only 5% of those that live in TX moved there from any western state; for Californians; it may be 2%.
- Only 8% of CA residents moved to any southern state. About 4% of CA residents are from a southern state.
These figures are really close to each other. Also:
- 7% of NM residents were born in TX. Less than 5% (probably way less than 5%) of TX residents were born in NM
Don't TX my NM!! Vote Blue!!!
Does that sound silly? Well, it's what I think of when people tell CA people that move to a red state to, "Vote red".
If you want someone to vote blue, red, or other, than convince them to do it with debate instead of being like, "QUIT BRINGING YOUR BLUE STATE VALUES TO THIS STATE" (which red state residents are about as likely to move to blue states as vice versa).
Florida has about as many movers from blue state Pennsylvania as red state Ohio. You know why? Because these 2 states have similar climates. It turns out, a lot of people (especially old people) hate northern states regardless of political affiliation due to the temperature.
The majority of ND residents didn't even stay in North Dakota. I guess ND is a shithole state due to conservatism. Or ... it's just a cold rural place and the jobs are in cities now?
If red states were havens for blue state residents because they are red states, then it would be not just Florida where a bunch of NYers moved to, but also Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and more. But only 3%, 2%, and 2% of the populations of these states are from the northeast. Why? Yes, they are southern states. But their winters are very similar to the ones in the northeast.

Generic candidates always do better in polls, because it’s far more difficult to propagandize against a faceless individual.
How would the GOP propagandize against someone like Obama? Obama was very well liked by normies.
Look at the Biden video that went viral of him “wandering off” when the full video shows it was all a lie.
How can the video show it was a lie?
They’re still talking about him “shaking hands with thin air” even though that was a lie as well.
Are you saying that video was a hoax?

I see all sorts of messaging that says, "Mother knows best. Listen to women.".
Imagine if I said, "Father knows best; obey the man.".

Our society is trying to reverse gender roles to where they have the woman in charge instead of the man, and I would rather let every relationship do it's own thing. But I'm a man; I want to be in charge of my own relationship.

I'm really open to voting for either party. I judge by the issues they lean into. Like, I voted republican for governor before because of his pro NRA stance. I also would like it if the minimum wage was consistently adjusted for inflation.
they tax to support gender reassignment surgery, art exhibits which show people shitting water colors out of their ass and calling it art and other things to tax us to promote their woke religion
I don't agree with spending tax dollars here, but it's not like it's a big part of the budget. Like, if you earn $100K/year and your kid steals $5, you don't really care. It would be different than if they stole $1000. The left spends money on wars and RSG (Race, Sexual Orientation, Gender) stuff (a waste of money) and government jobs for American Patriots (like expanding our road infrastructure) and the right spends money on just war.
I can stomach the small amount of money spent on the RSG stuff if it means we have more government jobs expanding the roads in this country (jobs for American Patriots paid for by the globalists).

Right so you believe in things without having evidence to see for yourself.
Wait... I see what you are hinting at. You are claiming I have a double standard because I believe in things without evidence if it's a Trump trial but not for god.
The difference here is with the Trump trial, if one believes there is not evidence that Trump is guilty and the reason is not because they are in the MAGA cult but because it's what they actually believe, then they can look online and find the reasons he was found guilty (things like stiffing his workers). You can't do this with God.

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time (usdebtclock.org) says the US total debt is about $100 trillion, so I don't know where you got that number from.
But total debt includes things like credit card debt (if you have a lot in credit card debt, then the taxpayer should not have to bail you out).
