madeinthebackseat,

Those at the top know what they’re doing.

They know this is the mother of all grifts.

15 could ultimately end up giving Biden the presidency, because it likely ended up killing more conservative voters.

Just add judges. Done.

Colorado Republican Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: ‘Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Women?’ (www.mediaite.com)

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf ® received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights....

madeinthebackseat,

You’re projecting logical thinking. Stop.

The Republicans need wedge issues for culture wars. It’s a numbers game and that’s all they care about.

Projecting logic and critical thinking on a party that’s moving towards fascism is a fool’s errand.

madeinthebackseat,

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

madeinthebackseat,

As a straight Gen Xer, who’s seen the progress, just get the younger generations to vote.

madeinthebackseat,

They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas’ attack.

madeinthebackseat,

Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.

madeinthebackseat,

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

madeinthebackseat,

And yet the same people will hold their intelligence and principals in high regard.

Meanwhile, the Right keeps stacking their deck by playing tribal games with emotions.

When the "scorecard " is tallied, you’ll notice intelligence and principals don’t count for much if they’re not being represented.

madeinthebackseat,

So what are you going to do about it?

madeinthebackseat,

If they want any chance in hell, they pick Biden.

Trump rolls out the red carpet for Netanyahu and tries to secure the rights to build a hotel and golf resort on the beach in Gaza.

madeinthebackseat,

If that’s your best option, that’s what you have to do.

This is how logic and critical thinking work.

Can you provide a better alternative?

madeinthebackseat,

She’s not an option given the current state of the democratic system used in the country.

The only way it works is if people banded together and changed the system, then a 3rd party system becomes viable.

madeinthebackseat,

If you think that’s how elections currently work in the United States, nothing I can say will help you.

For a 3rd party candidate to be viable, there would need to be enormous system changes or a very successful write in campaign.

I would love for other candidates to be an option, but that’s currently not the case.

madeinthebackseat,

And what percent of the vote will she get and why?

madeinthebackseat,

You’re voting for her. You should be reviewing history to get the answer.

madeinthebackseat,

Yes you are. That’s the paradox.

madeinthebackseat,

Don’t forget about the recent pricing collusion reporting.

The higher prices were the result of collusion with OPEC by American oil producers.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if those decals were intentionally created by conservative groups in the know.

madeinthebackseat,

Those are just premeditated accidental killings. It’s very different.

madeinthebackseat,

Now imagine if the IDF had shown up and murdered a bunch of people at the graduation ceremony.

What scale of asshole would that be?

madeinthebackseat,

If we’re going to get the analogy correct, you’re right, Hamas would be the assholes that killed 1200 people at a festival, and then IDF/Israel killed 34,000+, 70% women and children, in response.

Seems like a balanced response from a country which you’d expect to desire the respect of other first world countries?

Oh wait. That’s not an analogy.

Let’s see what happens next? Spoiler! Israel annexes more Palestinian land for illegal settlements!

madeinthebackseat,

This story is about the University of Michigan. 😉

madeinthebackseat,

If the younger generations came together and voted, they could change everything in a couple elections cycles.

It’s just a numbers game.

madeinthebackseat,

And you somehow think voting for Trump, or giving him an advantage, will help in Gaza?

He will put zero pressure on Netanyahu. He’ll likely openly support the effort and say something like “the Palestinians are just like the illegals crossing our border.”

Voting isn’t picking someone you like, voting is choosing the person with the best chance of winning and creating policies aligned with your values and ideals. If you vote for somebody with zero chance of winning, you’re giving an advantage to the candidate who undermines your values being implemented in the long term.

If we had ranked choice voting, or if the alternative candidate wasn’t openly threatening democracy, the rationale would be very different.

The smart people tried to explain to the voters that Brexit would be an enormous failure, but the voters let their emotions get in the way of being rational, and now they’re suffering and wished they had voted differently.

We have the potential for something much worse with Trump. Much worse. If you can’t see through your emotions to understand that if Trump is elected your vote may never matter again, I’m not sure you have the rationale capacity to be worth the time I spent typing this response.

madeinthebackseat,

What are you going to actively do to change the future? What effort are you going to make to respect those unnecessary deaths?

madeinthebackseat,

No! Lets say everything is binary, and use anecdotes as our primary means of logic!

madeinthebackseat,

If you have the evidence against Biden, present it.

Here’s some for Trump:

On October 25, 2016, allegations were made by two men stating that Trump had attended and partaken in sex parties filled with underage minor females as young as 15 years old who were induced with promises of career advancement.[151] Illegal drugs were also alleged to have been provided to the minors.[152]

One man was identified as model and actor Andy Lucchesi, while the other was identified as a fashion photographer who spoke on condition of anonymity. Both men claim to have been acquaintances of Trump during that decade, which one described as his “Trump days”.[151]

Lucchesi, for his part, claimed that he saw Trump engage in sexual activity with the girls but did not witness him taking illicit drugs. In regards to the age of the girls, Lucchesi said he himself never specifically asked about their ages, only remarking of the attendees “a lot of girls, [aged] 14, look 24.”[153]

madeinthebackseat,

Often difficult to do when the Israeli government intentionally conflates Jews with Israel. That’s on top of making Scientology looks like child’s play when it comes to handling dissent.
