"You know the crisis that just happened that's totally over now? That was bad right? We're gonna make the next one less bad! If it's during this administration. Probably. Again, do not bring up the ~~current~~ previous, completely over crisis that has caused inflation and seen corporate price gouging. We're concerned about the future here"
As someone near poverty wages, it's wild there's no promise of making things better for people like me, who could actually would benefit greatly from some breaks. The promise to ban price gouging on groceries likely isn't going to do anything about prices that have now been set, further I'll believe it when I see it. It's all just promises for the already well-off. Not even a bone for the poors. Great country.
I do love Trump's direct but equally vague "seal the border" and "end inflation."
It's a really cool election we have here
I will add something I haven't seen here that may help.
First off, you're in the right.
It's possible that the wording and tone you used were different than this person usually deals with. Eastern Europeans in my experience are much more direct, in a way that can come off as aggressive- to Americans. Many if not most Americans are not used to this, they're much more passive-aggressive, are used to changing up their word choice and tone with different audiences and subject matters, often trying to avoid confrontation. So saying your thoughts clearly to them may have actually seemed like you were attacking their beliefs. Challenging someone's thought processes, especially around politics, is something Americans often don't deal with outside of confrontation. You're not supposed to think about that, you feel right or wrong. Interrogating what you believe to attempt to come up with a better political view is never spoken of here in the mainstream, that's a very foreign concept I usually only see in leftists, go figure. Of course there are still many Americans that aren't like this, but I thought I'd offer this up as a possibility.
Ohh I hear you. I do wish more people would reflect like you have on the promises Biden gave and the administration we got. Amnesia has taken hold.
I'd also be voting for her if she vowed to change course. Funny how you can get my vote that way.
"I have no where else to go except my home in Denver and the rest of this country probably and maybe Europe too. And maybe also elsewhere"
No doubt antisemitism is a problem in the US though you're probably still more at risk of violence as a high school student. And further, would you rather live in a place where you're at risk of being blown up and need to blow up other people to stay there, or the US where that's not so much a fact of life? (though admittedly on land that was itself taken through genocide)
No doubt, though a suspension of arms sales until a ceasefire is reached does seem more feasible than an outright change in policy irt Israel
Wonder what the reason for that law is. Would've been a good year for that coalition to form, though I don't otherwise think they'll be doing that soon.
Gotta wonder how things would work here with a parliamentary system
How stupid of an idea is: any 3rd party running in this election disband their current campaigns, join together, and run as the single issue Stop the Genocide Party? I had a thought and doubt it's possible but if there were a time to make a serious alternative for a single, time-sensitive issue to run on now is the time
I hated it too.
I'm getting some weird memory that could be completely wrong but I believe my sister was showing me these and excitedly said "this is banned in Cuba!" I was always disgusted by it despite liking "edgy" humor like idk aqua team or whatever and if Cuba banned it, good, though I'm struggling to imagine why that would happen beyond there being poor internet access or just blocking American IPs
Thanks for the response. And christ.
I am worried that this is the scenario for my mom who's been in the hospital since January and even though she can't walk is going to be forced out at the end of next month because insurance is running out. Good country.
What the fuck? That sounds like it's basically house arrest, what are you supposed to do?
