Not supporting war, supporting winning - as opposed to losing. Support for war is irrelevant once the invasion begins.

The US can't stop the war. Ukraine can't even stop the war. The Ukrainian government could just give up, but then the occupation begins, and that's the hard part. The people of Ukraine aren't going to just roll over and play nice while Russia dismantles their society. They will fight back, and it will be bloodier for both sides than the clash of armies was.

Anyways, that's way more of an answer than your dumb ass comment deserves.

That man on the street and his like have murdered plenty of people and will continue to do so until they are stopped. It has fuck-all to do with state executions.

The class war is literally war, and only one side has been taking all the casualties. It's about time people fight back. The moment we can lock these people up for their crimes against humanity I will be against killing them.

It's too bad she didn't offer any soundbites of truth. Her entire campaign was built around being inoffensive to everyone which meant saying nothing that might evoke meaning. Lies thrive in that environment.

Oddly enough, Biden, Harris, and especially Walz are among the least rich politicians in DC. They are still way better off than middle class Americans though.

I'm not so sure he's much of a security risk, unless he is still in possession of sensitive documents. I sincerely doubt he is capable of remembering anything in the way of valuable secrets. Anyways, even if he did, any adversary would be daft to trust he remembered correctly.

COVID now isn't what COVID was during the initial outbreak. Current mutations are significantly less lethal. Between the vaccines and the fact that almost everyone has had it at least once by now, we are far more prepared to handle it. It's still something that should be taken seriously, but it's also well into the endemic phase. This is the steady state where humanity will have to coexist with COVID indefinitely, not the pandemic where talking about "super spreader events" is reasonable.

Only 64% percent of Americans now say it’s a good thing…

Makes sense. It's not like it's the American populous that's the world power. When we speak of US interests, they are exclusively defined by a fraction of 1% of all Americans. If the rest of us benefit from US foreign policy it's just a happy coincidence.

That doesn't explain the city/rural divide though. It could well be that listening to reactionary right wing rhetoric leads to an enlarged amygdala.

It's absolutely true that voting third party is a really dumb strategy that will never achieve anything good and could conceivably allow for worse outcomes. It's also true that this potentiality is way overblown because of ineffective Democratic politicians using third parties as an excuse for their pathetic underperformance.

Yeah, appeasement works great with glory hungry dictators. What's hilarious is you guys would be arguing the exact opposite of Trump were in charge right now, making up shit about how soft Biden would be on Putin.

I think we are in agreement. I don't believe FuglyDuck is commenting on good faith.

Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.
