My guess is that the perceived benefit is the that the dictator will enforce things they want, hurt people they want hurt, etc, with the (false) belief that there will be no negatives for them.

It’s not a civil war until the citizens start shooting back, until then it’s just oppression.

VanlifePlus, or as the channel is now known, MATV. I started watching because I had an interest in Van Life. Regardless of your opinion on Van Life, it was a good channel, as he really showed what it was like to live in a van, and trying to navigate fatherhood as well as a full time job, etc. Matthew is very personable, and likeable. He explored not only places to stay in a van, but actual camping in a van as well.

He finally made enough money from YouTube to get his own place, and now he’s only part time in the van, and is trying to get a gaming channel going, as well as building out a trailer for camping. I still find him likeable, but his content just isn’t doing it for me anymore. I can see that the views on his channel are going down, so it’s just a matter of time before he either has to quit YouTube and get a full time job, or supplement his YouTube with a job on the side. The content just isn’t there anymore.

I’d be willing to guess that there are a lot more bi people out there then you’ll ever find numbers for regardless of party. I’d also guess there are a ton on the right who will never admit it because the rest of the right would ostracize them.

He needs to be careful with that rhetoric, or they will use it against him. They could say that Fox News is an extension of the RNC, and just simply list all of the people he’s hired that are former Fox News people. I’m fairly certain he’s the dumbest president we’ve had, even more so than Bush Jr.

This is the right answer. Trump is absolutely a piece of garbage, and I think he was wrong for attacking Iran, but at this point I don’t think he’s broken any laws by attacking Iran.

Prince William also wore a blue suit, so did many others if you watch the actual video of the event.

And while I agree with you, he (and his cohorts) believe he won in 2020. If the Democrats changed course, and claimed that he actually won, then I would think that would make his current term invalid.

My fear, would be that Trump would use it as an excuse to invade Greenland, giving him what he ultimately wants anyway.

Apologies, I missed that he said he had a 13.

18.1 has some minor things, but the big ones are in 18.2. You will probably still not use them, but until you update, you probably won’t see them.

It’s about 15 seconds into this video

I saw a video where they panned to the right, and it looked like a hydraulic line on a nearby lift was hit.

That’s the biggest thing this country is missing right now. It’s OK to disagree with other people, but for some reason, people seem to think they are enemies because they disagree. We are all individuals, with our own views on everything. There isn’t a single person in the world that I agree with 100% on everything. To assume that anyone I disagree with is somehow evil, or my enemy, is insane.

Love that book

Though I agree with you, no one will vote third party, because they are convinced a third party can’t win, making it a self fulfilling prophecy. If you don’t vote for them, of course they can’t win. While I acknowledge that the system is broken here in the US, and that ranked voting is a much better system, I’d like to remind people that its still important to vote for who you like, and not against who you don’t like. I don’t like either of the main candidates for President, so I’m voting third party. Will my person win? Who knows, probably not, but I won’t vote for either of the main candidates because I dislike them both for different reasons, and think they’re both awful. Is one worse than the other? Yep, sure is, but I’d still rather vote for someone I like. If people weren’t so obsessed with only voting for the major parties, third party candidates could win. It’s happened in the past. No one ran for president as a Republican until 1856, and they didn’t get their first Republican president until Lincoln in 1860, which means that even though they are a major party now, they were a third party back then. Third parties CAN win, but not with the current mindset of the average American voter today. If people who say they want a change, actually want a change, then they need to do something different to get the change. If you keep doing the same thing, nothing will change. If you’re sick of the major parties, and hate the candidates they’re putting forth, show them how bad they are by voting third party. Change is hard, but possible. To see change, you need to be change.

I live in a hard blue state. I, and half of the registered voters in the state could choose not to vote, and my state will always go blue in a presidential election. I will vote with my conscience. Until more people vote for who they actually want, instead of against the other person, nothing will change. We won’t ever have ranked voting, because the Rs and Ds in charge will never put it in place because it could remove them from power. We need to change the way we vote before any meaningful changes can happen. If we keep voting for the 2 major parties, nothing will ever change in that regard.

You need to listen to what he says, not what’s reported about him. He’s not against vaccines. He’s fully vaccinated, and so are his kids. He wants vaccines to be safer, and believes that not enough is done to make them safer.

because there is no way a third party candidate gets elected.

This self defeatist thought process is why it doesn’t work. People don’t vote for third parties, because they think they won’t win anyway, and assume it’s a wasted vote. I live in a blue state, that will always go blue. I vote for who I think is the best candidate, even if it’s a third party. People claim they want to do better than the two party system, but take no steps to vote for anyone but the main 2 parties, which further drives the two party system they claim to hate. If you want to change the two party system, then change it, and stop just talking about it. I’m voting third party this year. Both candidates are bad, and I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils.
