Stewart’s or gtfo.

That’s fucking rich…

It certainly is. You forget what party has tried to push single-payer healthcare, unions, higher taxes for the rich and diplomatic solutions to world issues…like, for decades. But it’s either the republicans and their block voting blocking anything or those who want everything now and no smaller steps will suffice (whether large swaths of the country support or even understand it). It’s all or nothing, and you’re still surprised that when you don’t support any efforts, you get nothing.

Your hate does not make you stronger. It just makes you blind.

I’m done with this ridiculous debate. G’bye and good luck to you.

Just because you want to make up new definitions doesn’t mean yours are right either, bucko.

The US is primarily centrist. Always has been. There’s liberal and conservative voices in that center as well. Then you have voices like progressives and arch-conservatives, pulling more to either side.

Your definition is a clear attempt to just muddy the waters by lying about who actually wants what.

Have you not been watching the House or Senate for the past 30 years? ANY political advantage is a tool, especially for the Republicans since they LOVE defunding parts of the the government they see as in the way (IRS, for example). Look at Moscow Marjorie and how shes happy to break the system until they get what they want (money for Israel if Ukraine gets it).

Yes - and they’re called Libertarians.

And what about MAGA? How’s that for anarchists?

Sarcasm is notoriously difficult to determine in text, as you well may know, hence the popular use of /s to denote that.

Then again, either you completely forget that this is the world wide web, not AOL-Online, and not everyone understanding and use of speech is the same, or you’re fully aware of that and are going in for a double-dip, for shits and giggles.

You tell me. /s

Nope, people who are to the LEFT of liberals

Might want to try the grammar on that again, Tex. I’ve been a liberal and have voted for Democrats since Carter, so don’t lecture me about US politics, especially as you can’t make a clear claim yourself.

If you think for a moment that just invading another country is a possibility, you’re insane. That would only make Netanyahu stronger; the goal is to weaken him and the entire right-wing of their government, and you can’t do that by invasion, or by cutting them off arbitrarily (that would cripple the US government).

Simplistic ideas don’t solve difficult problems. Hope that clears up any confusion.

I love conservatives. It’s always a race to the bottom with you people.

Conservatives wait until a system is rich and then dive in like locusts. I’m old enough to have watched over half a century of their global bullshit - I’ll stay and stick with liberals any day over a world of conservative rule.

I see someone is not familiar with the act of rhetorical exaggeration…

…and I see someone trolling.

They’re right - this is disingenuous bullshit.

Meh, junk…junk…jun—EXCALIBURRRR!

Ah, so anyone BUT Liberals …

Fun fact: this is bullshit.

I’m confused - is OP suggesting that the Conservatives will be better than Liberals??

If so, I’m in the upside-down world again

The only part I disagree with you on is calling an AI girlfriend an “abandoned friend”. Extending the idea of friendship to a program that is mimicking human responses (let’s ignore it’s likely spyware for now) is at best a proxy for friendship, as there can not be a connective bond between 2 individuals when one is incapable of genuine emotional attachment.

I’m using the word “friend “in a distinct way: this is not some Facebook friend who you never see, occasionally may chat with, and ultimately ignore. I think it best, AI fulfills that role. I can’t imagine anyone choosing a masturbatory AI app instead of a real partner.

That’s not the future. That’s really unhealthy.

The word you’re looking for is “addiction”.

Absolute marriage material - smart and fun!

…the simpler explanation is that he’s just unironically stupid and a bad businessman.

Occam’s Razor.

The problem is, all companies are this evil.

False equivalency fallacy on display. Not “all” are, unless you’re trying to cut TJs some slack. Just shop at a local grocery.

Also - “evil”? Poorly run, dishonest perhaps, greedy almost certainly. You want “evil”? Invade another country and kill people. Tell a teenage rape victim they can’t abort it and must carry to term. Make sure women can’t divorce an abusive husband if they’re pregnant. Real Evil is all over.

There’s plenty of real evil out there that needs shame - don’t use that word lightly.

Stalinist. Makes sense - twist away. Blocked.
