You understand how things work! Ignore the apathy trolls. They are trying to silence your vote. Here's what actually happens if you vote for the lesser of two evils. You're rights are protected and next time use the primary process to pick someone even better.
It's so frustrating that we get taxed at a higher rate than billionaires do. Please remember to vote in 2025 and 2026 and help put a stop to this. If you don't like your candidate vote in the primary and remember that even if the person on the Democratic ticket isn't perfect he or she is going to be a lot better than the Republican option.
That is a really interesting story! I'm sure if he were still alive he'd be very happy to hear some of his works completed.
I see Donald takes after his father.
For sure people think differently. I agree when having a discussion with someone it's important to learn how they think.
I must tell you I used to be on the right, I used to support Trump actually. Part of what made me more sympathetic to immigrants is meeting some and they told me their struggles and I gained empathy for their struggles and how difficult the system is.
You're right. I hope that maybe this could lead to a conversation about why putting people into camps is a bad idea. In my head I imagine starting a conversation with a conservative and they say why the FEMA camps are a bad idea then you could say how do you feel if you were put in one. Now ask how you'd think immigrants would feel when put in a camp. In reality things may not go how I imagine.
I totally get what you mean! They think the cruelty is the point and it will never happen to me or my family/friends so I don't care.
It's so weird that conservative talk radio for many years had conspiracies about how the government will violate everyone's rights and now it's happening and they are blind to it or accepting it because they think the person doing it is on their side. Remember the FEMA camps conspiracy theory? Where are those people now?
Certainly an interesting statistic but one thing to keep in mind is that Elon Musk has control over the algorithm and he uses it to boost right wing causes. So even if the Twitter has an equal number of users from both sides one side is getting an unfair advantage.

The concerns are true but if people leave Twitter for Bluesky it's still an improvement because Elon uses the algorithm to boost far-right content and he has your data.
I feel this is really the most important answer here. We must break the false narratives that they use to hold power.
This is a lie. People just spread this to trick you into not voting so the Republicans win.
