    The sort of people Progressives are

    Under the most generous assumptions reasonably possible here - namely that you do understand how a market economy functions and what it takes to run a successful business and that, in general and like most conservatives etc., your circle and "the sort of people Progressives are" do not - you...

    The sort of people Progressives are

    Why would anyone make such a completely and utterly useless thread? "Hey guys, some people I know don't know some things." Seems more likely that you've been called out on the errors and fallacies made in the OP - most notably a hasty generalization from your own immediate circle to "The sort...

    The sort of people Progressives are

    Funny how none of our economically clued-in conservatives responded to this (at least on page 1) 🤭

    Hey young Trump voters, female Trump voters, minority Trump voters & Harris haters because of Gaza. Do you see that you made everything worse?

    If only the Democratic Party had done so after 2016 :( Instead the alternative to a far-right genocide-supporting party is a center-right genocide-supporting party which spends tens of millions of dollars promoting far-right messaging, apparently under the assumption that if they promote the...

    Kill Jews, Get Your Own State

    Not the full picture Cameron; the State of Palestine was declared by the PLO in 1988 and recognized by 78 countries within a year, and by 2014 was recognized by the International Criminal Court, about half the G20 countries and accepted as an 'observer state' in the UN by 138 countries. But in...

    Should it be illegal for an 18 y.o. to have sexual relations with a 13 y.o.?

    I'm sure it was "considered fair game" by the predators and their friends. Any relationship with a major power disparity - teacher/student, boss/employee, older/younger - raises moral concerns around potential coercion or manipulation (on top of practical considerations of the participants'...

    So angry about Gaza: I don't care that Harris and Dems lost anymore.

    What lessons did the Democratic Party learn from their loss in 2000? How strongly did they push to implement ranked-choice voting to avoid the 'spoiler' effect of people trying to offer something better in the future? I'm sure mediocre politicians love it when people blame the voters for not...

    So angry about Gaza: I don't care that Harris and Dems lost anymore.

    George W. Bush was an awful choice for president, so I'm guessing the popular vote must have been like 55% in favour of Al Gore, right? 52% maybe? No, after eight years largely continuing to implement Reagan's neoliberal ideology the Democrats only managed to attract 48% of the popular vote...

    Feedback Needed : )

    Sounds like an improvement, though admittedly that's a pretty low bar to clear 🤭 Some questions to consider: What problems would be solved or mitigated by this approach? How would a country get to this system from wherever they're at now? How would that transition impact their economy? What's...

    So angry about Gaza: I don't care that Harris and Dems lost anymore.

    No, that's obviously bollocks: Did Republicans fret and worry about the "broad appeal" of Trump in 2016, or in 2024 with an insurrection, two impeachments, four indictments, a civil ruling for sexual assault and 34 felony convictions for election fraud to his name? How did the "broad appeal"...

    So angry about Gaza: I don't care that Harris and Dems lost anymore.

    Oh it's much worse than that: Knowing that they can comfortably rely on 'lesser evil' voters doesn't just remove Democrats' incentive to be any good, it actively incentivized them to support the spread of fascism in America. Even after J6, even knowing that Trump's support was as strong as ever...

    Krystal to Dems: 'If you cannot cross this basic moral threshold, I don't want to hear from you.'

    I believe a major reason for Trump's win is that he created the impression (however phony) of having a distinctive vision for America. Do you think he went around worrying whether his politics were moderate enough to draw the numbers in purple states? People want to have something to believe in...

    There was no "missing minute" in Epstein jail video, government source says

    I just provided some publicly available evidence. Most likely there's more in the unreleased files, otherwise there's no plausible reason why the current administration would let them become this much of a political liability; it would be far easier and more expedient to just release them in...

    There was no "missing minute" in Epstein jail video, government source says

    Honestly this comparison and attempt to hand-wave off victims' credible allegations is kind of sickening. Virginia Giuffre is a known victim of child sexual abuse by Epstein - her lawsuits against him and Maxwell were ruled or settled in her favour, and it was literally the day after some of...
