asks

That word is doing some heavy lifting. What does asking look like to you?

My Sicilian partner called this Italophobia

So you’re saying I’m right because an opinion is an opinion and not true or untrue. Presenting an opinion as either is a factuality issue.

Presenting an opinion as fact (such as not labeling opinion pieces) would be a factuality issue no?

Considering the number of unregistered and independent voters… Very well could be less than that.

Well yea, because warfare has been a “man’s game” for well over 2000 years. I heard an interview with an undecided (woman) voter who was concerned that, even if western societies are more equal to women, the leaders from countries that don’t give women rights won’t respect her and the US by extension. When the interviewer asked her about powerful women in other countries like Germany, she said it’s different because “those countries” are smaller than the US.

Diversity has become a scare word for genuinely non-racist (just dumb) conservatives, they think they didn’t get that promotion because the company needs a black manager for DEI reasons even if there’s a better white dude for the job. The racists make it person: “They didn’t hire YOU, who is special and amazing and such a good worker bee, and instead hired that other guy JUST because he’s black!” They don’t register it as racial, but it opens them up to radicalization into the racist fold because now they start to develope that “you don’t deserve your position because reverse racism” slant to all their views.

My convicted-felon, day-drinking alcoholic brother thinks that “Mexicans” (all brown people) are a plague that’s ruining his home in California because they started him on the “DEI is reverse racism, and that’s why you didn’t get that job!” Crap via whatever indoctrination he stated with.

Okay but if I draw the line at all crime? Why should I get to draw that line over you? That’s why we just have to treat all criminals as rehabilitatable because the task of democratically drawing that line and being able to trace the required nuance is literally fucking impossible.

Considering beach volleyball is 2v2, and the ONLY person in that team who has ZERO say in this is his unfortunate partner who would be the only other person in the limelight sharing that title, how about no?

Probably the rampant reckless driving and disregard for other people’s property.

Also astronaut, veteran, and fairly progressive.

Peter Thiel literally wrote a fuckin essay on why he thinks democracy isn’t compatible with what he calls “freedom”.

As much as blood could be an argument, I think Donald himself hates his sons too much for that. To paraphrase Jon Stewart, JD Vance looks like the actor they’d pick to play Don Jr in a biopic

I mean I haven’t heard anything about him for president or anything and he’s from my state so ofc I’m aware of him.

He’s a senator from Arizona, the Dems shelled out massive amounts for his campaign to beat Martha “MAGA” McSally.

All in all, not a bad idea for a Presidential bid. He’s a veteran combat pilot, a former astronaut, arguably a national hero for those 2, and he’s pretty progressive to boot. I’ll also never, sadly, discount the advantage a white dude has.

Bonus point: Gabby Giffords as first lady would definitely be actively pushing gun control reform from the platform.

Recreational sales of opiates sounds incredibly dumb. Everything else is okay but let’s not encourage that addiction outside of medical settings.

No they’re saying nobody gets exposed because health info is held to high privacy standards and your comment didn’t make sense unless those mental health evals were public info, so they assumed that’s what you were arguing for.

An F-35 can’t stand on a street corner and enforce martial law. This argument falls apart when you look at any armed resistance fighting oppression.

They’re making a “Taiwan is actually China” joke. Referring to the mainland as “provinces that refuse to declare independence”

Motorcycles. That’s what else

Meanwhile I’ve never heard “a bee’s dick” in my life.
