Lol Jesus Christ you fucking jackass. I don’t see how you people really believe this stuff. America ranks pretty low on the freedom index. I don’t think you understand what people mean by “socialism” or even understand our own system of government. I may not agree with the general Democratic Party but if the current leader of this country made the right decisions less Americans would be dead. If people were supportive of science and reason the impact on our economy would’ve been lessened. Things are worse because of the Conservative party. And the “liberals” as you call them are further to the right in America than conservatives elsewhere. Biden is so ridiculously conservative a candidate. It’s upsetting that people like you can be so fucking stupid and think you’re right

It's funny how people blame Trump for the virus deaths in light of the fact he started acting in January to combat it and all the Democrats and Liberals did was call him "racist" for closing the borders and putting together teams of people to deal with the threat. During the entire time Trump was acting, which was during January and February the Liberals and Democrats only concern was to impeach Trump as they didn't lift a finger to combat the virus. If you're going to play the blame game at least get your facts straight.

Ok what did he do to combat the virus? There’s quotes from late February where he was downplaying it. In March he was insistent on not closing the country. In May he insisted on reopening the country. And what borders did you think he closed? You’re so “open minded” but all I see you do is parroting the same ridiculous talking points the RNC does. And for someone that doesn’t hang onto trumps every word you’re defending him vehemently. I’d have more respect for republicans if they weren’t a bunch of pussies scared of everything. They masquerade every action as being for freedom or religious rights when it’s all about stuffing their own pockets in some way. They don’t care about anyone’s rights or healthcare. They don’t even actually care about abortion. They just use these pathetic talking points as a means of control. We’re a fucking laughing stock because of idiots like you that want to pretend you’re so much better and smarter than everyone. You’re so insistent on being contrarian you just sound fucking dense. You people call others weak and snowflakes while getting offended at every turn. Other countries closed down briefly and have already begun recovering. Our lack of initial action worsened the situation and as a result we’re looking at a second wave of this shit.

You're free to deny Trump started responding to the virus threat back in January and the Liberals/Democrats didn't until March, but that's what happened. I'm defending Trump because everyone is attacking him all of the time and he's the President of the USA. I did the same for Obama, Clinton, and a couple of Bush's plus Reagan. If Trump didn't start acting while all the Democrats did was call him racist then I'd state he didn't act soon enough, but history tells a different story than what the Liberals are selling.

I also care about aborted babies. Just because I don't want to raise other people's kids or pay their way to raise them doesn't mean I don't care that unborn human life is murdered on a daily basis. The two parents should be responsible and raise their child and that includes clothing, feeding and providing shelter and care. It's not my fault other people are horrible parents nor is it my job to pay for or raise other people's children.

I also don't get how you can claim I'm offended like a snowflake. You've been calling me all sorts of names and all I've been doing is chuckling a little. I'm not offended by your attacks nor offended because other people don't like Trump. The Left owns the label of perpetually offended, not me.

Imagine being a complete fucking retard that's never actually worked in government or healthcare and thinking yo know anything. Go fuck yourself

Sounds like you are talking about yourself. Such irony.

His comments are 100% true and the forefathers built the system the way they did hoping to avoid exactly what is going on and has been going on.

Providing examples of universal healthcare in another country and saying it works, and saying I don't see why it can't be simple to make it the same here is so short sighted it is not funny.

In the USA we already have anywhere from 250,000 - 450,000 people killed by medical error/malpractive per year. Do you think if you get the government involved at that level that would get better or worse?

QUOTATION: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”

“A Republic, if you can keep it.

Freedom isn't free.

AUTHOR: Benjamin Franklin (1706–90)

ATTRIBUTION: The response is attributed to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN—at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation—in the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention.

McHenry’s notes were first published in The American Historical Review, vol. 11, 1906, and the anecdote on p. 618 reads: “A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy. A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.” When McHenry’s notes were included in The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, ed. Max Farrand, vol. 3, appendix A, p. 85 (1911, reprinted 1934), a footnote stated that the date this anecdote was written is uncertain.

SUBJECTS: Republic

The forefathers were in their mid 20s. They were children not some messiahs. I hate how people hold them up on a pedestal like geniuses. They created a deeply flawed system that’s cracks are starting to show in a young nation.

Woah a quote! I’m defeated. I’m voting for TRUMP

A 2-party system lobbied, sponsored and steered by corporate/external interests can only, and at best, yield the lesser evil. It forces anyone who doesn't agree with party A to fall in line (whether one likes it or not) with party B. This duality seems to be everywhere in the U.S. - create a multitude of opposing pillars, polarize them and let the emotional roller-coaster that follows be your smokescreen. By the time policy A or notion B is in effect the people on the ground are exhausted by tearing themselves out.

Without a bunch of dead bodies anyways
Republicans have long given up the guise of protecting any freedom. They’ve stolen land, sold privacy rights and physical rights out from under us. Anyone that defends them as if they care about anyone’s rights can eat one.

Yes. Both parties are crocks of shit. I’m voting for Biden because at least democrats don’t drive by calling my wife a n****, telling my children expletives or throwing beer bottles at us for being a mixed couple. People say how “Obama divided the country”. Fuck that. It just made the racist pieces of shit show their true colors. Our oligarch is failing and with it the people die.

There are bad apples in humans everywhere. It is not party dependent. History backs that up. I believe society as a whole in America is less racist now then before. Not getting worse. What state/city do you live in where people still make racist remarks openly to you and your family and throw bottles at them?

And if that was the case why would you not move?

Party affiliation does not indicate if you are racist. There are liberals who are openly racists, that does not mean they all are.

I lived in Texas but have since moved. Because the area I lived in was a shithole and only got worse over time. And you’re right about party affiliation but only one party openly welcomes those types and protects them. And more recent refuses to condemn them. Things are better than they used to be but right now we are moving backwards. Things are only better and have gotten better over time in the US because of uppity “liberals”.

Are you really that out of touch with what’s been happening with our rights to privacy and monitoring agencies? Not aware of citizens United or the patriot act? The only rights that are protected are those of wealthy individuals or corporations. Our government has chosen time and time again to fuck the citizens and what’s best for them.

Not sure what you are saying, over the years Trump has condemned in MANY words numerous times all hate groups which include the KKK, Neo-Nazis, and David Duke specifically.

Here is a video showing Trump doing it 20 separate times over the years. And even Biden saying he has NEVER done this before. If you want to lie to yourself that is fine, but it is still a lie.

https://streamable.com/sr9o2s

Trump has even officially done it in text.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-trump/

As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.

And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.

Democrats get as many intolerant nutjobs as republicans get (or more) There are good people in every race/political group on this planet, but also bad.

Just more Liberal lies, although, the default reaction from the Left is to not watch the video and keep living in a fantasy world.

    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
