They are just declaring their neighbors illegitimate and marching in like Putin.

Hijacking a plane wouldn’t be enough. Plane highjackings were nothing new. They were even common back in the 60’s. Conventional wisdom was you cooperate with the highjackers. They have to land eventually.

Nobody anticipated suicide highjackers.

2001 you could use a pay phone to stay anonymous.

This is a serious part of the problem. Home insurance, car insurance, can be bad, but at least you don’t usually have to deal with them. You can go years without needing anything from your home insurance.

You WILL need healthcare, minimum once a year. Most people need it every month or every few months. Your car insurance doesn’t pay for your oil changes or new tires because those are guaranteed maintenance costs, not unexpected emergencies.

Thank you, I looked into the pics and such back in 2008-2010 because Biden has been a public figure doing this forever. That’s what I learned and it pisses me off that people weaponize these photos against low information voters without regard for his actions.

He’s not. He’s 80 years old and got going when kissing babies was good retail politics. He whispers to children because he has lost 3 of his 4 children and his first wife and he knows how precious children and families are.

I mean, I hope this is true.

Social media did to our parents what they thought video games were going to do to us.

And what our grandparents thought tv would do to them.

I respectfully disagree.

This both sides narrative is FUD, and it’s dangerous for Americans, Ukrainians, even Palestinians.

Withholding your vote from Biden is peak virtue signalling. It does nothing for Palestinians, they are even more screwed with Trump than they are now. Trump already screwed them over moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and becoming the only nation to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli Capital.

Protest, boycott, form a union or convince yours to strike, by all means, electoral politics is not the only or the most important political arena.

But complaining about Biden online to people that already don’t like him is worse than useless.

As always, it’s complicated.

And the courts are taking more and more power from the legislature, and the president picks the judges, so it’s still critical.

I would say you exaggerate, and you should not vote and let the adults decide your government for you.

Yes really. Obama promised hope and change, and with a few notable exceptions, he delivered not fucking things up for 8 years.

Biden promised to clean up Trump’s mess. He’s done this, and taken massive action on decarbonization, and kick started American Industry, and revitilised the Labor movement, and added protections trans people and women’s healthcare. Obama’s admin delived one major legislative accomplishment a year for 2 years and then putzed around with executive orders. Biden slammed the exactive order button the first month and then kept pounding it, while passing major legislative wins. He got Ukraine aid through a hostile Congress for God’s sake and that war is turning around. Biden has done more good in 4 years than Obama managed in 8.

I voted for Bernie. I’m still sore that he lost that primary, but Biden has legit impressed me both with how progressive he has gone and how adroitly he manuved through the legislative process.

Yeah we can limp along with a major party and a minor party for a couple decades. We have before.

There will never be more than 2 for more than 1 election cycle. Ross Perot couldn’t do it. Pat Buchanan couldn’t do it. George Wallace couldn’t do it.

Teddy Big Brass Balls Roosevelt couldn’t do it with with his Bull Moose Party as a two term ex president. If he couldn’t do it, nobody can.

If all we can expect is genocide, we have to consider other interests. I don’t think Biden wants dead Palestinians, he just isn’t willing to toss Israel out in the cold and that is better than cheerleading the bombs.

I have not been so sure in my vote in any prior election. 2020 I had no doubts, but then trump launched a coup and Biden turned out to actually have a few progressive bones in his body. Biden has straight up impressed me with his accomplishments with the inflation reduction act, chips act, infrastructure bill, and various other accomplishments.

Trump is scarier now than he was in the last 2 elections. He has a roadmap to dismantle our democracy and leave us rocking from crisis to crisis like Argentina or Brazil. I think there would still be elections, but the corruption would blow off the charts and millions will suffer needlessly.

I’m glad it’s better.

If you do I’m sorry.

Sandy Hook survivors are in high school now and some are getting into activism.

You give us too much credit.
