Hardkill

Yes, Mearsheimer said that. However, he also recently said that he now doesn't see how Russia will be able to come close to taking over all of Ukraine. In fact, he believe that Putin never said that he really even wanted the entire country. Therefore, it is still within our interest and totally within the interest to make sure that Russia can't take over the whole country. Plus, Russia has still completely humiliated itself. It's no longer on par with China.

That's misleading. Yes, cost of living was somewhat better under Trump than under Biden; however, real incomes, better job opportunities, job security, and overall living standards have been far better for most Americans under Biden than under Trump. Health insurance under Biden has actually been the best ever Biden than any president in US History. The uninsured rate and underinsured has already been at an all time low! Also, we are no longer in an inflation crisis. In fact, the levels of inflation have for well over a year been already been better than the "Morning in America" 80s Reagan decade of prosperity was. Btw, even labor workers and labor unions have come to really like and respect Biden more than any other president since Truman in the 40s. Also, the stock market has kept reaching record highs under Biden!

but what about the progressive Era of the 1900s or the New Deal era or the civil rights movement? Those were not stupid things that happened in the social equality?

That doesn't make sense. In that case, why don't Greenies like Cenk, Ana, and Kyle Kulinski support Trump over Biden like Brand is? Even though Cenk has heavily criticized Biden, he has said that he'd certainly would rather vote for Biden over Trump as the lesser of two evils. Kyle and Ana also doesn't really want Trump to win the presidency. As with Krystal, she probably is voting third party like Ana is too, which doesn't matter because they both live in Biden safe states. Stage Green is also supposed to be highly intellectual, social justice for all races, and liberal/progressivism. Not for repressive or regressive ideas. Plus, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Warren, and every other progressive leader holding some kind of office throughout the country have firmly united under Biden. How do you explain why Greenies like them have done so? You're telling me that this is what functional/healthy stage Green is supposed to be and that this is what we should expect to happen to our society when our country one day becomes full stage Green? To me, this kind of mindset and behavior doesn't seem very moral to me. Civil Rights leaders such as MLK and Abraham Lincoln would be turning in their graves....

Okay....and why would a stage Green person support very toxic low consciousness people or ideologies such as Trump, MAGA, or right-wing conspiracy theories? Moreover, why is he attacking the "liberal establishment" and their so called "censorship"? he used to support Obama and many other liberals. You can't tell me that his mind is healthy or that he is even a healthy Stage Green or even a healthy Stage Orange. This is not normal at all. Moreover, considering how influential he still is, what he is doing is undoubtedly completely irresponsible and frightening.

Yeah, I agree. He also doesn't want to have to deal with the pain of taking real responsibility for what he did (assuming the sexual allegations made against him have been true).

Russell Brand is still not mentally well. People like him need to be institutionalized for some kind of serious mental rehab. Otherwise, he may be too far gone. So much for you saying before about how Russell Brand "evolved beautifully to stage Green" in one of your videos on Spiral Dynamics. To me it seems like he has devolved down to some kind of very strange mix of toxic stage Orange, toxic stage Blue, and toxic stage Red. Or it could be that he never really reformed for the better and that end of the day he is what he always has been....a raging addict for attention with severe bipolar disorder. Plus, he was never very bright to begin with. Very depressing....

I don't necessarily think. I mean, I believe that the more left-wing a policy is the better, as long as it isn't too far to the left or doesn't cause an extreme right-wing backlash. However, I actually find that the center-left has generally been the best ideology for making long-term progress for any country because center-left governance not only leads to significant or major improvements in our society, but also it is more pragmatic, bipartisan, and minimizes excessive right-wing backlash compared to firm left-wing governance. TR, WW, FDR, and LBJ are prime examples of very progressive center-left leaders in History. Either way, I believe in center-left to left-wing ideology implemented in a successful manner without going too far to the left is the way to progress for our world.

Well, let's hope that this strong conservative backlash is only a temporary phase in the grand scheme of things. Let's also hope that centrism (including the center-right) in the EU still dominates overall for as long as possible until things cool down sometime in the future when the center-left to more left-wing comes back to power. Fortunately, virtually all of the EU countries are much more developed than they were in the 1900s and still firmly believe in democracy.

It also looks Trump has already been losing voters from his conviction:

There's plenty more of this on their channel

Clarence Thomas admits to having taken $4 MILLION IN GIFTS from rich donors!

There is no alternative besides Biden. In any case, Biden has arguably become the most progressive president since the 1960s. If he defeats Trump, then he might go down in History as a heroic president. That's it!

I actually think Trump needs to step aside and make room for a new GOP candidate that's a lot like Mitt Romney. He's the one that has real signs of dementia and psychosis, not Biden:

Yeah, I was surprised! Sheinbaum won by a triple landslide! I also like how she's Jewish. I never thought their country would elect some Jewish even though it's mostly a Catholic country.

Chief Justice Roberts declines meeting with Senate Democrats over Alito concerns:

Alito just stated that he will not recused himself from the January 6th case:

Oh, well then I guess that's okay for you to abstain because Maryland is supposed to be a safe state for Biden. Unless a crazy amount of people in Maryland decided to stay home and not vote. However, I very much hope that you vote for Alsobrooks for US Senate. Even though Larry Hogan may seem like a reasonable good Republican if he wins that seat then that could very well mean Mitch McConnell's return to being Senate Majority leader.

No, you're wrong! I mean, why would someone like Trump ever dare or even think about breaking the law and order of our country? Ever since Nixon first ran on the idea of Republicans being the party of Law and Order, they've all kept saying that they are Standard-bearer of those values, including Trump himself! So, I believe them when Republicans, especially Nixon and Trump, have said that they are the prime examples of Law and Order. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, he doesn't. That's a very misleading statement that Trump and his MAGA goons have been making. Even the US Supreme Court already implied that during their hearing of Trump's case for "Absolute immunity" as a sitting president or even former president. Otherwise, that would essentially mean that POTUS is a king who is above the law, which actually mean that Biden would a king that is above the law.

That's okay. At least you acknowledge the credit I get for mentioning it first. But that doesn't really matter.

It's about damn time!!!! He got convicted on ALL 34 counts as a felon! Alvin Bragg will go down in US History and maybe in World History as a legendary hero for being the very prosecutor in the history of our country to have successfully achieve the conviction of a former POTUS as a big time criminal!

Wait, did you want him to be acquitted?

Lol. Not according to the time stamped on mine. Look on the first list of threads made on the Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events Forum and the top of each of our threads to check the time that states when you started your thread and then check the time that states when I made this thread of mine.

Hey! I already started a threat on this before you did, OP.
