That’s the biggest thing this country is missing right now. It’s OK to disagree with other people, but for some reason, people seem to think they are enemies because they disagree. We are all individuals, with our own views on everything. There isn’t a single person in the world that I agree with 100% on everything. To assume that anyone I disagree with is somehow evil, or my enemy, is insane.

I agree with you, the entire thing was a farce. There’s no way he LEGITIMATELY got 88% of the vote. Just another dictator, doing dictator things.

According to the article, this was his biggest win yet

That’s been my guess for quite awhile now. His platform didn’t make a ton of sense, and he frequently said similar things as Trump, while not wanting to put down Trump for the most part. Love him or hate him, Christie was one of the loudest voices on the right that talked negatively about Trump. Don’t get me wrong he’s still garbage, but at least he spoke out against him, which is tough for a Republican candidate to do. Vivek on more than one occasion refused to do that. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him as the VP pick.

This makes me sad, because it’s true.

It’s been one week since you looked at me Cocked your head to the side and said, “I’m angry”

I loathe Trump, and I’m Bi, but I’ll guarantee if he gets reelected, there will be no genocide of LGBT people. Quit making things up, he’s already a piece of shit without imaginary wrongs being added. At most, I could see him denying any sort of medical transitioning for Trans minors, including hormones and surgery, but that’s it. That isn’t genocide.

I actually just got something yesterday, that I had ordered the day before. I didn’t even have to pay more to get it delivered overnight. I do agree that Prime Video sucks, and I do have other issues with Amazon, but as far as shipping, the items I want are usually delivered in a couple of days.

I have no idea why you’re getting downvotes on this. You’re relating your personal experience, and it’s clearly not an anti-vax type answer. Here’s an upvote to help offset that.

As a representative of Gen X, I can honestly say that I’m glad you think they’ll pick on your generation, and leave mine alone.

I’ve been saying for years that universal healthcare won’t solve the issue, unless we can get costs under control. If they can regulate medical related industries, such as pharma, the need for universal healthcare can be reduced or eliminated. As an added bonus, it would help keep the cost (ie. taxes) for universal healthcare a lot lower. This is pretty common for pharma companies to make insane profits like this, and it’s extremely unethical.

So I’m curious, and this is a legitimate concern of mine, but what happens when corporations (and the local mom and pop) raise prices, because you can now afford to pay them more? Should there be a limit enforced by the government to have a freeze on the price of goods? Wouldn’t it be equally effective to skip the UBI and just do the freeze?

In line with the freeze on the price of goods, wouldn’t it be beneficial for the government to demand lower medical costs as well, since the exact same medical and pharmacy companies are selling their stuff in other countries for cheaper than in the US?

Along with companies raising prices of items. As a non Canadian, I’ll be curious to watch this play out.

You can drive from Buffalo to Toronto in less than 4 hours, and that includes the time it takes to cross the border. I’ve made the drive, and can confirm that it takes less than 4 hours.

The biggest question for me, is who determines what’s misinformation? Honestly, it’s determined by someone with a bias as to what is real information, and what is false. What if it was the Republicans in the US making that decision? It would completely change what’s considered misinformation. This is where the dangers of censoring misinformation come in. It’s all about who is making the decisions. Sure, you may agree with the people making the decisions now, but what about in 5, 10 years?

I’m glad that someone is fighting misinformation. What scares me, is if the right wing in the US starts trying to do the same thing. Can you imagine them cracking down on Facebook, X, etc for misinformation like the EU is doing? It would only be Biden conspiracies and pro Trump propaganda allowed. Good thing we aren’t giving our government that power.

I still see Trumps face everywhere, though primarily on left wing media. Oddly enough, I see it there more than I do on right wing media. (Gotta see what both sides are saying, the truth is in the middle somewhere)

When they’re celebrating the killing of civilians at a dance party, or the beheading of babies, it is a problem. Religion is the cancer that keeps that entire region either at war, or the brink of war

All the yelling of “Allahu akbar” while celebrating the death and destruction in Israel, would seem to be in conflict with your statement.
