This is a gutting of the scientific research establishment which has created much of American prosperity since World War II, when the US used the promise of survival and stable funding to lure academics from Germany.

    It’s a cute attempt at comparison.

    If Biden had sold weapons like this before, if Gaza was occurring at Biden’s hands in 2016 having beaten dump, I would not have voted for him in 2020. In actuality, we have direct proof in 2016 onwards of caging babies on the Mexican border, yet your friends voted for him again without much hesitation.

    I’m a democratic socialist, no I don’t support genocide and made that extremely clear to anyone when it came up. Do your friends similarly denounce baby caging? Especially considering the direct precedent in living memory?

      Getting a tad childish?

      Yes, yes they do denounce seperating kids from their families at the border. I’ve talked about it and other things we don’t like about our parties, what they are doing, and why we still vote for them. How we all dislike choosing the best of two bad options. How maybe a ranked choice system would be better.

      You think blindly following one party vs another is any better? No, you think you on your high horse telling them they are scum for voting one way or another is better? How many life long Republicans have you gotten to vote blue? I’ve changed several peoples minds by talking with them, hearing them out, and not just assuming they are terrible people.
