Religion has very flawed ideas regarding community, however. It always results in a hierarchical structure and works to exclude those who don’t abide by its values.

It is possible to be a good, selfless person and be religious, but I don’t think it’s possible to have religion without enabling power-grabbing, insular practices too.

You’re Mormon and you call yourself a socialist?

Socialism is the antithesis of religion.

Oh no, someone please think about the poor white millionaire’s feelings.

Because Wikipedia doesn’t serve ads or pay Google, so Google doesn’t like to make them the top result for a lot of searches they should be.

Some Republicans, like all of the ones endorsing Harris, but Trump’s MAGA core voting base is still shielded by their reality distortion field where Trump “won”.

I couldn’t even watch 10 minutes because it was so painfully obvious they were just lying through their teeth, and it was so desperate sounding that to a non-R voter, it came across as them not even watching the debate.

I think that may be their strategy. They assume a lot of their base doesn’t want to watch the debate, instead they just tune in after the fact, and they get the bizarro universe account of what happened presented as fact and thus feel more validated in their beliefs.

That’s the only thing I wish they’d say more often. Get out and vote!

Depends on how they say it.

“Pokemon Go…to the polls” still echoes in the dark recesses or my memory.

All new cars are spying on you.

From what I’ve been seeing around the internet, Republicans are convinced that the debate was rigged. Harris was given the questions in advance, the moderators were biased, etc. etc.

And Kristy Noem even bragged about murdering her dog in a book as if it were some sort of selling point for conservatives.

People will pay a lot for just the land, even if there’s shit on it that needs to get removed.

I was about to correct you, but then thought, no, I wouldn’t put it past the US to invade the Arctic when oil is discovered in the Antarctic.

I think Benedict Arnold was a higher rank, but I guess it depends on if the US counted as a “country” at that time. Lee was a colonel when he betrayed the US and became a general under the Confederacy, while Arnold was a general at the time he betrayed the US.

Because every step of the way, they need a flock of MBAs to figure out the answer to the question “How do we make money off of this?”

French language be like:

Elon, probably:

“Our bot sometimes spreads misinformation? Unacceptable, we’ll fix it ASAP. The bot should always be spreading misinformation, ‘sometimes’ doesn’t cut it.”

Pulling the trigger alongside Israel in the firing line.

That’s unfortunately not the right question for the situation the US is facing.

The US election is a binary choice, so there is nothing that matters other than understanding which administration would make the process worse, and doing whatever is needed to keep them out of power.

When the choice is conservative or conservative+, I’ll choose the non-plus option. I don’t like the circumstances, but I’ll do whatever is needed to shift the overton window back towards a direction of sanity.

Progressive politics can’t happen if radical conservative politics cause 10 years of societal regression in a single term.

But only one has encouraged Israel to “finish the job”.
