That wasn’t the joke I was making though. My joke was that Trump was considering making a serial rapists his VP pick. I don’t disagree with the point you’re making I’m just confused as to why you think it’s relevant.

? I understand not liking the joke but idk where that comment comes from lol

The guy who played Hyde is a serial rapist. He was in the running for Trumps VP.

AOC’s district is dark blue. It won’t effect the votes much. It would raise AOCs profile if she has ambitions for POTUS but that’s so many hypotheticals.

The most immediate impact is that it would motivate the base. Dems need voter turnout to win. 2 women lashing the Republicans over abortion rights is a winner imo on top of AOCs popularity with the base. There are sound reasons for it. Not saying I think it’s a good idea though.

The weakness this election cycle, for the dems, is the apathy of the base. In that context AOC would be a pretty solid choice.

I don’t think there time for an actual primary. I’d favor an open convention tbh.

Do you really think there are undecided voters? This has been the 2 candidates for 5 years. This election is about voter engagement and turnout. Biden and Harris both lose on that.

It’s odd to see you put so much of Palestine on Bidens lap. It’s been an issue for at least 40-50 years.

I remember what Obama said in his memoir about Isreal, how that is such a tricky issue for Dems. Isreal is the only consistent military ally in the region. A President has an obligation, as commander and chief of the military. You have into major consideration in the area of the region that’s is most likely to commit act of foreign terrorism against the US.

100% agree with this sentiment. 1 day debate, 2nd or third day, delegate vote. Imagine a national conversation where the cornerstone is about the policies of the democratic platform. Compare them to the policies of the GOP. That will be a huge W for the party, especially down ticket.

Agreed. I’d be in favor of the mods not allowing it.

I hate to admit this but, as a CA resident, I think I might be OK with leaving the union. Let Mississippi fix its own damn roads.

Piracy bro lol there’s apples and oranges but that’s skateboards and dinosaurs.

Even with your point being valid there’s tremendous value for society for making somethings as hard as possible.

There are insurance/registration issues that can address that. Of course there endless possible hypotheticals. I’m personally in favor of some sort of “drivers license” equivalent for guns.

But a 21 year old age limit almost certainly would have prevented Uvalde.

Valid, I’m sure. Hinkley was the last that made anytype of major news, unless I’m mistaken.

There is so much that is unknown. Everything about his true motives will, likely, be speculation forever. But it’s best to let the FBI be the one that does the information reveal.

This kid was 20 though. He might have had psychosis. Last presidential assassination attempt was Hinkley. This is around the age things like schizophrenia start to present themselves IIRC. This might have been a suicide by cop type situation and he wanted to be famous in the process? Who the hell knows.

What if we had a law that you had to be 21 to buy guns though? That’s in line with “common sense” gun control. I’ve heard Obama say that phrase countless times since Sandy Hook. It could have made this a little different, maybe? It almost certainly would have prevented Uvalde. This is political violence, it’s horrible, I think this will help Trump win. Any left leaning person with half a brain can see that imo. This is also gun violence though. Gun control has to part of the answer to this. Remember who the Brady Bill was named after.

A judge in Tennessee is the one preventing the release of this manifesto. Media outlets are the ones trying to obtain it. Try again.

Ask a question then reply telling me I’m wrong? Whatever doofus.

The Buffalo shooter also livestreamed part of his shooting on twitch, with a swastika on his weapon. The media getting information is significantly different than police releasing information. Assuming media orginaztions are in a conspiracy to push a narrative and not just squeezing every dime they can out of these tragedies is goofy. And I’m writing some of their names to demonstrate that my knowledge of these crime is a little beyond average.

I’d suggest you pull your head out of your ass.

1. It’s becoming less and less common. Stephen Paddocks motives weren’t released til 3 years or so later. If the Uvalde shooter had one it wasn’t released. Anything known about the Newtown shooter was found by journalists way later. The rest happen when the killer is still alive.

2. This is the only case that I know of where the killers writings are under control of the victims families.
