It’s tempting to fall into defeatism and view everything with pessimism now, but I believe the Democrats just need to put forward an appealing candidate for the masses, grit their teeth for 4 years, and wait for Trump to mess up (which he will). Eventually, people will get tired of him again.

Being a sheep is better than being an erratic goat believing all kinds of alternative media junk.

We definitely need more feminine energy in politics and positions of power. But go and tell this to a right-winger, they’ll see you as soft and incapable of managing the real world.

If you truly believe that, you're not far off from the average MAGA mindset. Leo should lock this thread for low quality.

All Americans in this forum should whip themselves on the back, then go out on their knees and ask the world for forgiveness for electing Trump.

I don’t see disagreement as a problem. However, if I notice that the other person responds emotionally and isn’t open to the possibility of being wrong, I end the conversation and make sure not to discuss politics with them in the future. I don’t mind if a person has little education, but I can’t stand anymore sectarian who never admit they might be wrong.

An America under Donald Trump, despite everything, is still much better than the shitholes most immigrants come from.

Agreed, there was a shift during COVID. But I'm starting to doubt that they are so "smart". I mean they are grown up adults, not 20 years old trying to get rich quickly by manipulating the system. At some point they have to look in the mirror and recognize how full of shit they are.

Just fucking embrace the Green Stage, it’s the beautiful one, the one that reconnects you with nature, your community, and your country. Sure, it has its share of lunatics, like all stages, but if you think you’ll reach Yellow by rejecting Green, you’re just bullshitting yourself.

I wonder if Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan and other say what they say about Trump out of ignorance or simply to appease the base of followers that supports them. I'd prefer it were the former, though I fear it’s a combination of both. It’s truly disgusting.

Those that are inclusive but without falling into naivety. Some sort of moderate socialism for me.

I believe what happens to them is that they remember their youth with fondness and nostalgia and confuse that with the idea that the regime was better than the current one.

Israel seems quite blue to me. Violence is not only perpetrated by red.

Not only does it take 600+ hours, but if you don't keep practicing after that, you'll forget it. It's very ungrateful to learn languages, it's like skipping the gym for 3 weeks.

My parents say the same thing about fascism,

This debate belongs to the 20th century. Communism failed, we should waste our time discussing how to limit the excesses of capitalism, or better yet, progress to a better system based on its foundations.

I think you must be a big piece of shit for hiding behind children and women, no matter how true your cause is. And also for justifying that it's okay to kill 10 civilians for every terrorist.

I wouldn't recommend working first on the spiritual aspect. Finance and career should be the foundations.

It seems interesting, I'll check it out. I think reading about former intelligence agents and spies is a great way to understand how politics works.

Take a rest and enjoy paid unemployment for a while if you can! It's a great opportunity to reset your mind.

Absolutely yes, just from seeing the video title. There's so much bullshit and noise on the internet these days that you need a master's degree to tell the trash from valuable content.

Do you think lying in a job interview is justified? I think yes, because I have been fooled so many times and I think that we workers are at such a disadvantage that I think it's fair.

North Korea is poor because it is an absolute monarchy and treats its citizens like cattle. If you can't see that, you have a problem.

This reminded me of my first date with my current girlfriend. We went to a bar with music playing, I suggested we sit on a couch and she sat far enough away to prevent me from initiating contact. I spent the rest of the time in the bar thinking I had screwed up, since up to that point the night had been great. When we left the bar that same night we kissed. I think she just didn't want to make it too easy. It might be the same in your case.

I really wish for Kamala to win, but I still don't like when people vote for a candidate because they have a policy that will personally benefit them. This attitude is what sometimes causes politicians to make bullshit promises they know they won't keep. When voting for a candidate, one should consider the whole package.
