"I never considered voting for Trump in 2016. I may be forced to vote for him this year."
One of the darkly funniest/ most dishonest headline+author combinations ever. Her employer is the American Enterprise Institute, that has employed race-IQ champion Charles Murray for many years, staffed large parts of the Bush administration, and massively supported the Iraq war.

So @Salt Bailly wasn't kidding.
But seriously, consumerism is a American (capitalist) value that has gone global, I don't know if it's more so in the USA, but it's an issue world wide.
It's an issue world wide because imperialism is an inherent feature of capitalism once exploitation of local resources and labor do not suffice for continued profits of the capitalists. Consumerist society is a fecking virus infecting the globe and being propagated by neoliberal "democracy" via the US military, the IMF, World Bank, and others. This mode of production is literally killing the planet faster than predicted, and yet, we have privileged cnuts talking about how they want US supremacy to continue when the US can't even properly deal with wildfires as they efficiently crush protests of people who want something better. The faster this shitshow of an empire dies down, and the plastic culture that it came with, the better it will be for the world.So @Salt Bailly wasn't kidding.

From my lofty vantage point across the Atlantic...I now think Trump is going to be re-elected.
Kinsella has spoken.

What is an Asian American?
This seems far more serious than telling unknowing parents that their children are immune to a virus that you know they're not, so that they go back to school to boost your election chances.
Or saying the only reason that forest fires are currently ruining millions of lives is because that state isn't raking enough federal property, and that climate change is a hoax.
Or keeping people in cages and forcing hysterectomies on immigrants.
Both sides as bad as each other I guess.
how do you do fellow senors
Sickening stuff. Did you watch the trump townhall?
What's the point of this post? He didn't say or even vaguely imply and of those things. Are you so insecure in your choice that you can't handle even vaguely embarrassing videos of your candidate?
@Beachryan was listing stuff that Trump said or came to light about his administration in the past few days. Posters are responding weirdly to @entropy's post because Entropy doesn't like Biden, so they take the post as implying heavy criticism of Biden, it seems.
My point is that there are far greater issues to be thinking about that this trivial bullsh*t about Biden - and that by focusing on such menial crap all you're doing is playing into the 'both sides are as bad as each other' trope which is simply not true.
For the first time in its almost 200 year history, Scientific American is endorsing a candidate. Because the other candidate doesn't believe in science. THAT should be what is being discussed, not that stupid video.
But it's a post of a tweet in a current events thread on a Manchester United forum.
It shouldn't really need to be said but left posters on a United forum have no influence on American or any national poltics. It doesn't matter what any of us discuss on here, in the end it's just posting.
Might be debatable if it matters or not but it sure frustrates me to see this fake "woke" crowd come out against Biden. Yeah you're very smart to point out obvious flaws in an old politician but when Trump gets elected you're not gonna care are you. Probably doesn't impact you (and I don't mean you). Biden needs to win for a lot of reasons and Biden being a good candidate may not even be 50 percent of the reason for that.
I'm not even against conservatives in general but with the current climate there can be no conservative vs progressive debate. It's madness vs getting back on track.
So because there is nothing good to say about Biden we should pretend he doesn't exist.
What are the latest polls? Swing states?
Not true. Just I notice the same people who post videos of sniffing biden show no outrage at Trump saying he takes no responsibility. They just wanna seem woke.
So @Salt Bailly wasn't kidding.

The other thing that springs to mind that defines, or defined, American culture is 'The American Dream'.
I'm pretty confident the link between posting on a football forum and American presidential elections is none existent. As for the 'woke" stuff honestly I have no idea what that word means anymore, it gets used so often by everyone that it's lost all meaning for me.
Thanks!
Imo for people who believe this, their time would be better spent trying to win over family members or phone banking for Biden rather than complaining to random strangers on the internet. Because I wasted a ton of time on here last year trying to "convince" conservative posters to vote for the British Labour Party and it really doesn't work.
Oh dear. Not sure this will get the Hispanics to 'Pokemon Go to the polls'.
You can’t make me watch it. You just can't.
Wow thats true, they both raised their arms
Everyone is talking about the endorsement of scientific american. From the pool halls to the dive bars, hell even the convenience store clerks. People just can't get enough of that topic.
