Politics Coronavirus Politics Edition!

Don’t worry about it then.

 

What is it exactly that makes 100% of the fuckwads who demand to be out in public marching and protesting Trump people? Is it just a freedom thing like don’t tread on me? That’s why they’re breaking out the guns? I don’t get it

 

They just wanna trigger you. They know you post in here.

 

funny. But really though. They need the freedom so they can get the virus or what?

 

Personally, I think they are stupid as fuck. I don’t support their actions one bit.

 

Woah! I didn’t know you can click the prefix tab and only that prefix threads are filtered in.

*mind blown*

 

Hate is just an emotion that we can use to motivate ourselves. Just like fear or anger, there's good and there's bad depending on how it's used. Certainly you'd see the value in hating the Nazi genocide as applied to the Jews. You would hate that so much that you'd be driven to do something about it.

 

Hating actions and hating people are different things. One leads to an action that tries to stop the action you hate. One leads to trying to end a life. I am against the death penalty because I don't believe in killing people. I am not against prison. I understand that at times ones actions may require force to be stopped.

 

I don't understand anyone hating the Nazis. Of course, they stand for terrible things which all decent people want to stop. But then, that's sort of the definition of hate. Other kinds of hate are based on flawed logic. Here again, hate is motivating us to do something good.
I've been against the death penalty longer than the parents of most of us in here have been alive and longer than the grandparents of some of us. Still, I can find enough emotion to save the life of someone else by taking the only course of action possible in some scenarios which would mean taking the life of a culprit. I don't really see what that's got with what I was trying to convey. A belief in the death penalty is something I see as flawed logic. After all, once we have the culprit in custody, what further harm can he do? But I'm digressing.

Hate can be a useful motivator.

 

So is this where i state my opinion that i think the dnc media used this virus as a tool to go after Trump?

that i think the media, largely controlled by democratic and liberal political agendas from their corporate owners, use their media powers to instill their agenda on the public trying to pass it off as news, so they can guide the sheeple to vote how they want? And when the virus came to light, they jumped aT the opportunity to use it against Trump any chance they could, when the odds are, no matter who was in office, this likely would have played out the same?

Dnc media pounds Trump for his reactions to the virus, when its the media who controls the messages and the truth they decide to hand out.
Leftist media should be ashamed of themselves.
Do they ever wait for true facts before they jump on the “gotcha” narrative?

 

Yup...it's all the media's fault, because after all, they're the enemy of the people.

 

its this type of absolute, non compromising, mindset that represents the sheeple.
Thanks for playing.

 

a small write-up about the success of Oregon's voting system (yeah, it's a left wing website):

[rant mode: on]
the political battle lines are already drawn. The R's want to restrict voting as much as they can. It has nothing to do with voter fraud. It's all about depressing Democratic voters and disenfranchising minorities. It's about raw power, and the attitude is 'fuck what's fair'

the newest weapon in the anti-democratic war the R's have been waging for decades is to force the Postal Service to fail...go bankrupt. That's a sure way to depress the vote and it's the reason trump is yapping about voter fraud in mail-in ballots and how 'bad' the postal service is [rant mode: off]

 

To deny that the majority of the media market is owned by left leaning corporate ceos who regularly use their companies as a platform to push their personal political beliefs through the news, is to turn a blind eye to the truth.

further more, the willingness and hastiness of so many left leaning people to just draw a line in the sand and say they are right in their beliefs, without any sign of being able to discuss and adjust their stance, based on the enlightenment of opposing viewpoints,
is extremely scary considering not one person in history has had all the political and economical answers to keep everyone happy. But now all of a sudden there is a growing number of people it seems who think they have the answer and its their way or the wrong way.

have we tossed our history books out the window? Have we forgotten the socialist and communist regimes of the past and how they turned out?

Why is the only right way to attempt to repeat history?

until history proves a way that attains utopia for all, no one has had the right answer on what the makeup of a leader and a government should be, in order to attain such a goal. to be so closed minded as to believe, without dispute, that the answer lies in oneself, is as foolish as those who repeat the same thing over and over expecting different results.

it is truly scary the growing number of people i see so set in their opinions as being factual absolutes.

This, combined with the media leading these people, will be our downfall, if there is to be one.

Misinformation fed to the sheeple by corporate media who knows they will eat the food they are fed to as absolute.

 

i know your minds aRe made up, but if not...

You cant tell me there isn't biased media...

 

oh for chrissakes...really?

my god the whiny complaints about media from the right is so fucking myopic

* the oil and gas industry leans heavily right
* the banking industry leans heavily right
* investment houses lean heavily right
* the home building industry leans heavily right
* the insurance industry leans heavily right
* the defense-industrial complex leans heavily right
* mining and timber industries lean heavily right
* manufacturing leans right

* the electoral college has a right leaning bias because of demographics. The same is true of the US Senate and the result is that the courts lean a lot more to the right than the majority of people

for decades I've listened to R's try and cast themselves as victims because of the media. Meanwhile, the vast majority of economic vested interests support the R's and those have had incredible influence over the course of this nation and the trajectory of wealth accumulation.

The R's are the opposite of victims of our system. But yeah, Rachel Maddow has it in for you guys

 

If so much of the media is left biased maybe the issue is the right, not the left. Maybe it’s completely irrational to support trump and racists and the like, dunno just thinking out loud. And since when is it just the left that won’t budge? Am I missing these massive amounts of Trumpets who have changed their tune and now feel Trump is a bag of shit? Where are they, all those open-minded folks?

 

It reminds me of the time one of these posters said hey I’m going to be open minded please convince me why I should vote D and then people came back with thoughtful posts with facts and he was like yeah no sorry. Hmmm. So open minded and willing to change
