    You missed it. He has declared an affiliation. I don't know anyone who describes themselves as right wing. In fact, KKK members locally insist they are not racist.

    What has happened with the word "woke" is the same thing that has happened with terms like "liberal" and "feminist." Opponents started using them as insults, and then people started buying into that and refused to apply the terms to themselves because they were afraid of being sneered at. The...

    trump spread a lot of misinformation and he did it intentionally, and it cost hundreds of thousands of lives. GWB is small potatoes in comparison.

    And, by definition, deaths caused by war are also not murder. Morality is not equal to legality.

    No matter how bad the conditions in a country, I think most people resent having their country subjected to a military invasion.

    So, if your appendix exploded, you'd be O.K. with the doctor and hospital refusing to treat you. Good to know. In fact, it's perfectly O.K. for someone to give you something that may or may not kill you. No problem there.

    Are you talking presidential elections? I assume you are. I've been happy with all the Democratic nominees. During the last presidential election, Joe Biden was not my pick, but it turns out he was the right person for the job at this time. You're funny. Obviously, you've never attended a...

    Could be worse. In my state, our newest U.S. Senator will limely be our former governor, who was forced to resign because he tied his nude mistress up in his basement, photographed her, and used the photographs to blackmail her. He's also a wife beater and a far right bigot. I'd take a centrist...

    Do you use roads? Utility infrastructure? Public schools? Do rely on the fact that there is law enforcement? Firefighters? Do you eat food that you don't grow yourself? How do you think it gets to you? What happens if your neighbors to the south decide to bomb the area where you live? What...

    Yes. If your only criterion is the number of innocent civilians killed, have you looked at the number of deaths from covid that could have been avoided if trump et al. hadn't decided that they didn't need to take mitigation measures because initially blue areas were hardest hit, and that would...

    What do you think the will of "the majority" is? And if you think the Democrats and Republicans aren't competing for votes, then you'd better start paying attention.

    I'm talking about the proportion of their money that the poor and working class pay in taxes, versus the proportion someone like Musk pays, even though he uses many times the amount of public resources that a poor or working class person does. That's what makes him a grifter.

    Yes. By and large, good people don't amass large fortunes. Those that do, don't keep them. Fortunes are made on the backs of the poor and the working class. I don't understand the propensity of so many to worship the rich. Maybe it's a survival instinct - suck up to those in power, and maybe...

    Great advice for anyone who's willing to say "bye bye" to democracy in this country.

    Apart from everything else, you're overstating his wealth by ~$100,000,000,000. Elon Musk lost $10 billion in net worth in a single day after sexual misconduct claims emerged. He's lost almost $70 billion in net worth since the beginning of this year, basically because he's been so public about...

    Progressives are a relatively small portion of the voters. If progressives want to have a bigger voice, they need to show they can deliver votes. The DNC has actually been smart this election cycle, and have been letting things shake out locally for the most part, instead of endorsing one...

    No one is stealing Musk's money, which is actually earned by the peons he despises. (Although he's been doing a bang-up job of tanking his own net worth the last couple of months.) Why do you want to steal the money of hardworking poor and working class people, while insisting that grifters...

    There were, and are, worse human rights abuses going on elsewhere that we haven't bothered to do anything about. We didn't invade Iraq with clean motives, and we shouldn't pretend we did.
