Yes Musk offering to impregnate a young woman and wondering why no one has tried to murder Harris is peak lols. Literally didn't even mention Musk - not even aware of what you're talking about here man! Was referring more to the sarcasm around my complaints RE basically flaming anyone that isn't wholeheartedly + unquestionably pro-Harris, and designating them as racists, Trump-stans and idiots. By your own admission you get your news from twitter no? It is hilarious that you don’t know what he’s talking about. Or is it probably ironic? I’d say both.

Mate, sometimes I'm not online - sometimes we have families and real-world problems to manage I don't understand the need to be so combative and rude, have I personally insulted you or your family? Was playing Civ 6 last night, and Sean Bean (narrator) quotes Aristotle - "It's the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it" Would never dream of saying this applies to anyone on here, but it immediately made me think of this thread. On this topic, and for these candidates, there seems to be no capacity to entertain anything sufficiently to have a discussion. Ad hominems, insults and judgments abound. These candidates both suck, but the associated lack of debate/discussion is pretty sad too.

Took me about 5 seconds on google. Sad part is, it butchers any actual nuance, and context of what Aristotle actually says in favor of a quick viral sound-bite. sententiaeantiquae.com/2018/09/22/nope-aristotle-did-not-say-it-is-the-mark-of-an-educated-mind-to-entertain-a-thought-without/What has happened after your comment is really a superb example of the virulent nature of misinformation and the deterioration of the weight of truth and fact in favor of superficial charm. I will never make excuses for taking a stand against vile, disgusting people. I find those who make excuses for such people to be equally pathetic. There is no room for discussion here, given the burden of evidence that exists about this man and his acolytes. It isn't opinion, or conjecture or debatable in any sense or form - if you think a vote for Harris is as bad as a vote for Donald Trump, you and what you represent is absolutely crystal clear. EDIT : Inb4 you tell me you don't have a dog in this fight, my point extends to those who actually do, or have the ability to.

Firstly, you somehow attach weight with which you bash my integrity to a quote from a game - take this fight to Firaxis, you bastion of Greek philosophical truths you! Appreciate the note though - they should have known when launching in 2016 that they would be guilty of MisIForMaTIon! (am I doing this right?) You go on to prove my point with your use of language in bold. Just seen that someone tried to assassinate Trump, again - with this type of language, anger and intolerance from people who hate him, I'm no longer surprised. I actually do think a vote for Harris is likely to continue and probably escalate war with Russia, and considering many US citizens were financially better off under the Trump presidency, I can see'why many people think it would be better once again. On public health and chronic diseases (with RFK's support), plus border control, I think a Trump presidency may well deliver better outcomes for people who live in the US. Again though, to avoid dog fights, I can simply see this from the perspective of someone who lives there. From a global point of view, a Trump presidency would suck for anyone who doesn't live in the US. I genuinely wonder whether you have any friends who think differently to you? I do, and our conversations are more rich, rewarding and interesting as a result.

I only used it because of the fast and loose definition you have for fact and fiction. Probably wise not to use social media or videogames as your source material for the former, especially when being patronizing to someone on the internet? Don't let that get in the way of deflecting from what I've said though! I don't think I'm being confusing at all - nobody with his character profile should be rewarded with the presidency. Trump would happily see Russia annex whoever they please, financially he'd ensure his rich pals absolutely decimate the working class and their rights, while laying waste to the environment and affordable healthcare, not to mention a systematic degradation of women's and LGBT rights. This isn't just my opinion, I lifted this verbatim from a conversation with friends and family who are citizens of the USA. Maybe try talking to people who aren't Trump supporters? I mean you do claim to be a guy with broad views and perspectives, funnily enough you only seem to have those of Trumpers. You and your friends sound like a genuine hoot mate. Although, I'm not sure you can call them friends if they're all on online message boards is it?

Although, I'm not sure you can call them friends if they're all on online message boards is it? I'll be honest, before I posted the quote I ran it through Google + Perplexity - both alluded to it being "often attributed" to Aristotle. Really just didn't expect you would use that as some sort of proof that I rely on false sources to inform my thinking. It's a miss-translated quote from hundreds of years ago which appeared in a video game, not the moon landing or Bush doing 9/11. I honestly think many of the working class are inclined to support Trump over Harris, the Biden tenure has made things totally unaffordable there. I work for a large US company, so the majority of my colleagues represent the closest I get to these issues as they are talked about daily. Have two friends and their young families who live there, too. Most of these people aren't on Twitter, nor are they Trump supporters. They can, however, seemingly think critically about some of the same issues you claim Trump will unanimously worsen. Unfortunately none of these people are on online message boards either, but I'll take the further subtle dig at my ability to establish and maintain deep and meaningful relationships. "This isn't just my opinion, I lifted this verbatim from a conversation with friends and family who are citizens of the USA" - so verbatim conclusions from conversations with people near to you. Fair enough. Trump "letting" another country do what they want does seem to indicate he would be less likely to continue US foreign policy of policing the world order (an approach kicked off by Truman, then made worse by Eisenhower, Bush Sr and a few others including GWB and Obama). Less US taxes funding forever-wars in proxy countries, equipped by the military-industrial complex. This appeals to many voters, JFK had begun to try and reign in the power of the military-industrial complex and intelligence agencies before he was shot. In other words, less chance of NATO weapons landing in Russia (and less chance of a nuclear WWIII) - as an inhabitant of this planet, I'd support that. Prefer my existence sans nuclear fallout. Look, I honestly don't attach personal criticism to your political views man. It's okay to allow people to have opinions that differ from yours - I once said United should sign Mousa Dembélé, that was my terrible opinion and I was wrong. Would I go back and change my mind? Probably, he's shit.
