I think a lot of US intervention is kind of a subliminal need to act as the adult in the room because that's what everyone expects us because of our role as guarantor of peace in the world. Like last year when Turkey starting acting up. You started to hear the 'Someone needs to do something!' 'Well I guess that's us?' Fortunately though Trump kept us out.

It happens with people too. You can imagine a new teacher in her first year. She feels she's supposed to be the adult in the room and be serious and stoic and formal. So she tries to do that and is strict and no nonsense. And all the kids hate it and she hates it too. When in reality she's actually closer to Ms. Frizzle and if she'd just do that she'd be happier and her students would be happier too. But that pressure to act a certain way is super powerful and everyone is worse off for it.

For so long the US has felt the pressure to be the adult in the room that until recently it couldn't resist the urge.
lol, but why should we

Let them fucking destroy each other. We shouldn't care about other country's conflicts that don't concern us in the slightest. We should not be the "guarantor of peace". Let them fight so we can screw them economically.

That's... exactly what I'm saying.
 
Taxes won't bring down the national debt in any way that it's meaningful. They'll barely make a dent at the absolute most, as I just showed you. You won't fix the national debt by just taking money from people.

They won't even pay for the multi-trillion dollar spending that's going on right now.

You're still going on about "muh taxes" when you haven't even specified how those taxes will work.


Trump didn't cut taxes on the rich and corporations. Trump cut taxes on everybody, as @TowinKarz would most certainly attest. The fact that the rich and corporations benefit more is an unavoidable aftereffect of that.


And now we've devolved into "you're a Trump dicksucker" territory from a man who'd vote for a dementia patient out of sheer political tribalism.

Like I said, complete lack of self-awareness.


This sounds more like some redditor "lifelong republican turned democrat" storytelling than anything of import. Although given your fedoraposting in the latest CatParty patheos thread, I'd say that sudden political epiphany came more as spite against your parents than anything meaningful.

And two can play at this game. I used to be a solid Democrat in the state of California, then I started taking notice of things during my regular walks, and saw how many homeless camps, homeless people, and trash were strewn around my state. My state, a Democrat stronghold, seemed incapable of dealing with those things.


Isn't budgeting an important part of politics? :P


Corporate taxes bring in only 9% of total tax revenue, and you don't think that needs to get fixed? https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-does-corporate-income-tax-work

I ain't voting for Biden just because he has a D after his name. I am voting for him because, as terrible as he is, he is better (as a person and politician) than Trump. If Romney or pretty much any other Republican was running, I'd probably vote for them. Biden is probably the 2nd worst candidate a party could nominate, although he happens to be running against the worst. Although it's funny that a Trump supporter calls someone voting for Biden as tribalism, considering the only way Trump got elected was because of Republican tribalism.
 

lol, good to see that you have so much faith in your nominee that you already want to replace them
But the polls told me today that Biden is leading Trump in the Rust Belt swing states. Why are they afraid when the polls have confirmed it and the late night media talk show hosts indoctrinate them every night.

First you'd have to explain to me why that's necessarily a problem, especially since your own source says that "the corporate income tax is the third-largest source of federal revenue".

Also liking how you segued away from debt entirely.

Trump has managed to outmaneuver an extremely hostile media and deep state apparatus for four years. Biden can barely keep his mind together in his own stream for four minutes. I can already predict your reasons why Biden is a "better person" then Donald Trump, so I won't bother to go into that.

Also Burisma scandal.

Oh so you're one of those Politically Principled™ "muh decorum" type of pseudo-intellectuals. That's the only reason I'd ever believe that anyone would unironically imply that a spineless loser like Mitt Romney is a better (potential) candidate than Donald Trump.

Although it's funny that a Trump supporter calls someone voting for Biden as tribalism, considering the only way Trump got elected was because of Republican tribalism.
Wrong. You clearly know nothing about why Trump won. Trump won because he had a message that appealed to people in a broader range than Clinton, successfully pitted himself as anti-establishment politically, and knew how to draw a crowd. Republicans didn't even want him at first, but soon rallied behind him as he became more of a force to be reckoned with.

The election will hinge on which femocrat Biden appoints as the real president and if mail-in votes become a thing. Trump hates the shit out of mail voting and would probably sacrifice a chunk of his herd to ensure it doesn't happen.

But who will be the pick? If the DNC is desperate then they can throw in weed to draw in the zoomers.
 
DNC is absolutely desperate, but they also really want the Bernie wing and god forbid the AOC wing of their party to fuck off and die. So no weed, I don't think.

As for the femocrat, it's Kamala Harris. She's basically Clinton's understudy, she was supposed to be the nominee but that didn't fucking work thanks to that uppity bitch Tulsi taking her out. She harms Biden's black vote because she's basically a Californian Gulag operator but the's a democrat and they own the dindus thanks to free shit and gibs, so who cares if they're a little mad? What are they gonna do, actually make a decision for themselves?
 
Touting an untested cure, that Trump has financial interest in, without evidence it works is trying to make himself richer

The one he has like $100 invested in? Like, I get not liking Trump and his policies, but if you are going to spread accusations like this, you should fact check it first, dear.

3. Anyone who still supports Trump is definitely a right-winger.

I am a moderate who has been pushed right for the last six years because of bullshit like troons and being attacked for voting third party last time. I will be voting Trump in November, not because I think he's awesome or great, but because the other guy is senile and the people who will be puppeteering his wrinkled old ass are fucking crazy.

Facts are a tool of the RUSSIAN BOT ALT-RIGHT PATRIARCHY, comrade! We don't need FACTS, we just need to know that ORANGE MAN BAD.

This isn't even an exaggeration. People actually think this:

Twitter tards seem to be thinking Texas will turn blue this election. As if blissfully unaware of the fact that one: this crisis is going to kill the dem's immigration tomfuckery (There will be way less open border shills). And two: the dems are a fractured mess that will likely self-destruct before they could put their "plan" in motion.
All the Trump ads in Texas will show Beto O'Rourke saying 'hell yeah we're gonna take your guns' followed by Biden saying he's gonna put Beto in charge of gun control.

Not only were the Dems dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud, Biden leaned into it. They are so fucked in Texas. Beto is poison there now and it's gonna cost them plenty.
