Speaking of Trump not caring how many people he hurts...

Trump Says Israel Should Bomb Iran’s Nuclear Facilities and ‘Worry About the Rest Later’

I used to hold the same belief and considered myself a proponent of limited governance. However, the individuals I know that advocated for smaller government did so because they preferred to be governed by the church instead.

I don't believe that labeling others as liberal or conservative helps anything.

Then you should definitely fight against a second Trump term. He previously encountered numerous guardrails and systematically worked to dismantle them. Military leaders have warned against a second presidency, emphasizing Trump's chaotic and irrational behavior. He has expressed his love for authoritarian leaders and has turned to promoting Christian nationalism.

Trump will harm as many people as possible while enriching those with the greatest wealth.

Say what you want but I learned my lesson from the first Trump presidency. Don't let that dangerous fool anywhere near the White House again.

Is liberal supposed to have a negative connotation?

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.

Yes. People have evidently forgotten just how dangerous, delusional, and chaotic Trump has been since 2016. He could care less how many people die as long as he isn't one of them.

History disagrees with your opinion. A large part of the population does not vote in any election, and far right citizens are committed to making their voice heard in every one. When left-wing voters withhold their votes, the Overton window naturally shifts right.

Electors are generally bound to the local popular vote. Candidates can absolutely win the election without winning the popular vote overall though.

Lol. These articles are a little silly. The first article complains that Walz voted Yea on the purely symbolic H.Res.34 in 2009, along with 389 other representatives...

I think you want Walz to be the bad guy. I refuse to idolize any politician, but calling Walz a Zionist is rich.

Thanks for sharing a link to the transcript. Walz misspoke and conflated Israel for Iran. His response was vague but only asserted the need for steady leadership.

Vance said he would support a preemptive strike from Israel:

And we should support our allies wherever they are when they're fighting the bad guys.

The Jewish Chronicle certainly doesn't think Walz is a Zionist:

In touch with the anti-Israel segment of the Democratic base, Walz urged a Middle East ceasefire in March. And when 18 per cent of Minnesota Democrats cast protest votes against President Biden over Israel policy, Walz reacted respectfully: “Take them seriously. Their message is clear, that they think this is an intolerable situation and we can do more, and I think the president is hearing that.”

Withholding your vote is synonymous to voting for Trump. Trump does not have a moral compass and only cares about himself. He most certainly does not care how many people die in Gaza or anywhere else.

In other words, withholding your vote is voting for genocide.

These remarks could discourage others from reading a useful and well-written article.

I still use GnuPG on occasion, but I've benefited from incorporatingsops and age into repositories. They're pretty slick.

You do you man. I'm just trying to share some information that helped me.

For what it's worth, some say that PGP is bad and needs to go away. I found that article pretty interesting when learning sops.

Same!

Thanks for the explanation. I'm in the Xennial cohort, and I never could develop an appreciation for gaming lexicons. I know every generation has their slang, but it does add some challenges with a broader audience.

I'm so glad to see some progress at last.

On a side note, I'm not sure what your last sentence means. I keep seeing people use the word "based" but I refuse to look it up 😄.

Noice

Canada works pretty well without them. If you forget your bags though you have to buy more.

Great! Now do other 49.

I'm going to vote for bad idea on this one too. Teenagers make emotional decisions, and I only see this encouraging kids to make bad decisions to receive attention.

Interesting article: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=1&ContentID=3051

In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s rational part. This is the part of the brain that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. Teens process information with the amygdala. This is the emotional part.
