No, Iran reaching an agreement with Europe would show what type of deal Iran is willing to accept. If most countries like it, the US might follow. Also, Europe would immediately begin trading with Iran.

Conversion therapy is not going to work because the cause of sexual orientation is probably biological. From https://scienceinsights.org/is-being-gay-genetic-what-science-actually-says/

Sexual orientation is a complex trait resulting from an intricate interplay of influences, not a single cause. Current scientific consensus points to a combination of genetic, hormonal, and developmental factors interacting during an individual’s formation. It is likely shaped by multiple biological predispositions that manifest during development.

I don't think his method is correct. States must already know where people live otherwise, how can they gerrymander? A possible computer program would have a cursor start from the top left of a state and move right. The cursor's vertical distance would be preset. Once it counts a specific number of people, it would draw a district and continue. When it reaches the right border of a state it would go down and move right. Have companies bid on a redistricting program to see if it's achievable.

I believe so but Ukraine will need help if Trump betrays Ukraine. That's the reason for my proposal.

[-] panthera_@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Zelensky should be suspicious of Trump. He might be willing to betray Ukraine in exchange for Putin betraying Iran. Europe should be involved in negotiations. This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn't accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.

Didn't Trump say in his State of the Union address that the military was meeting its enlistment goals?

If the far-right becomes more extreme, people will reject them because most people prefer moderate views.

From https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/taxes-on-the-rich-1950s-not-high/

There is a common misconception that high-income Americans are not paying much in taxes compared to what they used to. Proponents of this view often point to the 1950s, when the top federal income tax rate was 91 percent for most of the decade.[1] However, despite these high marginal rates, the top 1 percent of taxpayers in the 1950s only paid about 42 percent of their income in taxes. As a result, the tax burden on high-income households today is only slightly lower than what these households faced in the 1950s.

How do you propose doing that?

Climate and energy affordability should be part of Democrats platform, but the economy will always be the top issue.

The US should normalize relations with Cuba. Cuba is a communist country, but the country isn't plagued by gangs and the people aren't starving.

Is the problem really just seeking funds? The article said that Horner sent an email thanking Jeffrey and the girls. The problem is desire for sex outside of marriage.

It's foolish for Israel to encourage Iranians to revolt knowing that they would be slaughtered. In light of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, Israel should know better. In the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the Jews had no choice since they would be exterminated anyway but Iranians are not facing the gas chambers.
