@Cherniak "Three countries totaling 260 million people (~150m of which are in extreme poverty) getting the same aid as a high income country of 10 million" is not a very favorable fact to cite
@Midnight_JJ0@emeriticus In fact, they do. The Brazilian left recognized the parliamentary election weeks ago that PL won as well as Bolsonaro Sr.'s election in 2018. The US left has recognized and certified every election in history, including controversial ones in 2000 and 2016.
@ebknowsflows It was minimally reasonable to support ousting a brutally repressive and unpredictable despot. Even if Iraq was disproportionately/enormously costly, it doesn't make a top 10,000 list of Republican moves on the basis of being ethically or logically indefensible.
@LeePrevost@MattPolProf@brivael We also shouldn't trust doctors about medicine, scientists about disease, educators about pedogogy, or veterinarians about pet care since all of those professions mysteriously lean left and must have been infiltrated by the communist underground.
@Anc_Aesthetics The dumbest fucking conspiracy ever. It would require Kalshi collaborating with billionaires who put down tons of cash on both sides, breaking even at best and risking losing huge sums for no political benefit. It doesn't work on any level.
@DLoesch You're doing it wrong. What you're supposed to do is say Republicans are way ahead and the only way for Democrats to win is if they cheat. That way you can claim fraud to overturn the election if Democrats win.
@scott_colom@jamestalarico This is an idiotic idea ensuring one of you makes a politically amaging social media clip pissing off your constituents right before they vote.
@gregoryall79539@MarcoFoster_@TimJDillon How dumb do you have to be to even type "Islamo-Marxist." A conservative, sexist, anti-gay, and hierarchical traditionalist religious ideology combined with an anti-religion, pro-women's rights, and anti-traditionalist ideology. Study the Soviet-Afghan war, you absolute dumbass.
@CadillacPsycho@SethBodnarForMT Yes, you (partially) accurately summarized what is being communicated and condemned. He's calling them government-dependent lemmings. That's bad and insulting and, in terms of partisan loyalty, inaccurate. Lots of tribes skew Republican.
@AndrewSteinwold He bought his way into an unelected and congressionally unapproved government position and used DOGE to break security protocols and gain private access to all of our personally protected information contained in the treasury and SSA. His efforts produced no savings at all.
