Am I the only one who believes we shouldn’t pin foreign policy

We don’t have access to the same information they do, so we can’t easily judge their decision. The POTUS gets to have conversations with world leaders. These conversations convey attitudes, view points, and information we don’t have. They have the CIA, am ambassadors that are experts in the respective culture and country, and DIA that they get information from.

For all we know, Israel was going to nuke Gaza and Biden talked them down. Also, I can all but guarantee Hamas would be doing worse if the roles were reversed:

This is ANCIENT. Plato wrote this in Republic.

ETA: It has been a while, so I don’t know the exact order Plato’s cycle has.

I doubt that. Consider what we saw with all of the COVID disinformation on social media. I think the idea that social media has no impact on election results is very wrong.

Not just here. This was on all social media

Hopefully Chidi and Eleanor will save us all soon.

Another straight white dude here. I also voted Harris. I stumbled upon this:

Combine that gross ignorance and Palestine stupidity and here we are. Trump literally told Israel to end it. We know what that means.

As an American, I agree.

Trump will go along with whatever Israel wants to do. If Hamas was in power, I can all but guarantee they would be doing the same shit, if not worse.

ETA: I’m not advocating for what is going. I’m just rather pissed that so many people keep doing the counterproductive thing of using this as a reason to vote trump or sit this out. Considering that Trump is worse in this regard and with global warming, humanities only chance is to ramp up efforts like the US is a lost cause, because for the next 2 years at least, we are.

USian Harris voter here. I am disappointed in you all. Everyone knows that’s worse.

I suspect the down votes think I voted fascist. I voted Harris.

so gas prices would go down.

Which is stupid, because economists pretty much agree that his tariffs will cause massive inflation.

I had a random conversation today with someone that knew absolutely nothing about politics and wasn’t sure about voting. I would guarantee you that if Harris herself talked to this person they would go vote for her.

Here we have some serious selection bias. Not necessarily right vs left, but interested enough to be commenting about it on the fediverse.

There are no guarantees. Life is just like a hold em game. The only thing you can do is make good decisions based on the information available. Sometimes a dumbass with 2-7 off keeps calling your bet when you hold AA and catches two pair on the turn and river. The only thing you can do is not get tilted and keep making smart plays. Variance is a massive asshole. Eventually you will come out ahead.

What are you trying to accomplish by posting this stuff? What are you actually accomplishing by posting this stuff?

Doing anything else other than voting for Harris in this regard is firmly in the stupid category. Trump would be worse in this regard. You are not only hurting yourself but others as well.

What’s even stupider is Trump would more than likely be worse in this regard.

must be a psyop agent from the “enemy”.

You might be.

I’m pointing out the government is shit

Nobody is claiming it doesn’t have problems. If you haven’t been paying attention, there are things that non-MAGA wants to change about it.

Our government is the best in the world

As we constantly complain about citizens United, electoral college, first past the post elections, car dependant infrastructure, and the list goes on.

Or a non-US psyop agent, or a GOP supporter

Here’s what I do. I have my kids injected with weakened or dead pathogens. Sometimes I can I can just have them injected with a molecule that looks like a pathogen.

HR with an HP

455,000 is 0.0455% of 1,000,000,000. Not a big deal to someone with allegedly multiple billions.

I’m creeping up an a million net worth. That is like me trying to stiff someone for 455 dollars. An unexpected 455 dollar expense is a tiny bit annoying. This wasn’t even an unexpected expense. This is like me stiffing the guy I paid to power wash my house and complaining he won’t come back next time. The city should sue. 455k is worth the lawsuit in my opinion. Plus damages since the cost likely prevented the city from doing other important things.

This is bigly sad.
