Trump seems to inexplicably get more support and donations from Republicans the more indictments and convictions he racks up.

Trump seems to inexplicably get more support and donations from Republicans the more indictments and convictions he racks up. He's playing the helpless, innocent victim angle pretty hard. The more he's convicted, the more people who believe he's done nothing wrong (or that he shouldn't be punished for doing wrong things because he's somehow above that) want to push back against that perceived injustice. --- This is my signature.

Trump supporters enjoy reality denial. I guess that's the only way a person can claim to be moral while still supporting/defending Trump in 2024, without cognitive dissonance.

A true socialist (a.k.a. left-wing) would never vote for a liberal like Biden, let alone one who actively supports genocide. When will people realize that voting for the lesser evil is only helping the rigged system stay in place? Fight for voting reform, that's the only way to make your country become a democratic one. I'm glad Americans are finally starting to realize that there's no democracy in the US, but it baffles me to see that so many of them are still upholding the illusion of democracy.

When will people realize that voting for the lesser evil is only helping the rigged system stay in place? The alternatives are to vote for the greater evil or not vote at all (which increases the chance that the greater evil wins). Unless there is actually a viable candidate that's including voting reform in their platform (and even that's not a guarantee, just ask Canada), the election is not an opportunity to push for voting reform. The election is an opportunity to work within the system you have to get the best outcome that system allows. Treating it otherwise will never accomplish anything more than helping the party that most benefits from lower voter turnout. OhhhJa posted... Easy to become apathetic about politics/voting when you vote and vote and either nothing changes or it just gets worse It is easy to become apathetic, but that just justifies giving up and disengaging. Actively deriding people who are still motivated enough to care and try isn't apathy, it's a thinly-veiled effort yo defend the status quo. --- This is my signature.

So supporting our greatest ally in their time of need Massacring civilians en masse and deliberately engineering one of the worst refugee crises in recent memory are not "needs" that I particularly care to support. I'm all for helping Israel defend themselves as needed (I think establishing the country after WWII was a mistake, but at this point reversing that decision would likely cause more harm than good, so we can really only work with what we've got), but what's happening right now is not defense. It's genocide. To call Israel anyone's "greatest ally" is also quite the stretch. Globally, the country is a pretty minor power with little historical significance to back up that title (bearing in mind that they didn't exist during either World War and weren't particularly involved in any other high-stakes conflicts since their inception). The largest benefit they offer as an ally is a staging ground for any offensives the West wants to conduct in the Middle East, which is useful, but hardly "greatest ally" material when you can name a country that single-handedly allowed the US to form in the first place. --- This is my signature.

adjl you crazy Perhaps not, but he's not the only one reading this thread, and I don't want to leave his propaganda unchallenged. Especially around Israel, there's a ton of ignorance about the region's history and what's actually going on there right now, which is why so many people default to "I feel bad about the Holocaust, so I should probably stand up for the Jews here." Propaganda like his preys on that ignorance, so I do what I can to challenge it and educate the ignorant. Remember that the goal in a public argument is not necessarily to convince your opponent, but to convince the gallery. --- This is my signature.
