    Although they succeeded last election, it was a close run thing requiring last minute vote counting shenanigans in several states. The job of coming up with enough votes to keep Biden in office has been made far harder by the Biden administration's performance.
    I wouldnt bet on it,he had no chance last election!
    But pooooof we have a mail order illegitimate president that isnt smart enough to put on a jacket or run a hotdog stand.

    Is it a line too far?
    Or because it's a "majority white" district?
    I shared this with some family members that live in SC. They are Democrats and they never responded. This doesn't bother them or many other democrats because they have a goal and it doesn't matter who achieves it or how it is achieved just as long as it's done.

    What do you believe is the goal they desire?

    They believe if they just let their leaders do as they please it will be a wonderful utopia for all.
    They seem ignorant of history and think it will not happen the way it has been in the past because it's America.
    Each has their different beliefs as to what utopia is and what must be done to get it.

    I have a relative who claims to be a moderate. I asked her if she could vote for a Republican. Well, no, because they’re against improving infrastructure.

    :rofl:

    Meanwhile she praises AOC, still thinks Nick Sandman was in the wrong. Believes in the green new deal. Thinks safety is a higher priority than freedom. The list goes on and on.

    How the hell can anyone believe Nick Sandman was in the wrong? That's just insane.

    That’s what you do when you’re on a side. You just believe the things your side believes. He was wearing a MAGA hat. So obviously he deserved it. The narrative was that Sandman, while wearing a hate symbol, bullied a frail old Native American. I don’t think she can unsee that narrative etched in her mind. Hell. She still believes Trump was making fun of handicapped people when he mocked that reporter. Once you’ve achived a level of righteous indignation it’s hard to give up the perceived earned virtue.

    Working in a technical capacity I get dinged about being a climate denier. For a long time I've always turned the argument around by asking people to quantify the change and man's contribution. People always drop the argument because they can't, no one can. They fall back on this "belief" because they are a part of a group. I'm going to start asking as a follow up, why do you believe in it? Why is it worth the massive and very expensive restructuring of America? I'll be curious to hear the answers.

    “Regardless of race, I love everyone. One thing you can learn from Project Veritas’s first audio attack on me, is obviously I have no biases toward a certain ethnic group,” Matthews said. “I expressed my disgust for Black legislators who exhibit the same hypocrisy as MAGA Republicans.”

    Oh it’s ok guys, she hates whites and uncle tom blacks.

    I don’t consider myself a science denier. Frankly, this is not in my wheelhouse. I’m a software engineer. I just form my own opinions from those things I do know something about.

    I know something about computer models. When you have all your inputs right, and the models do the math right, they can be very accurate. The climate models haven’t done a fantastic job of that to-date. There’s always a reason why the models were wrong. They didn’t account for this, they over estimated the impact of that. So it’s obvious that their understanding is not perfect. However, there probably is some warming, which may be due to manmade causes. That’s certainly a possibility. But the extent of which is not as sure as the reporting. If it were, the models would be correct.

    So, to me the question is, how dire is it actually, and is there actually a justification for the hair-on-fire approach? I don’t think so.

    I think the alarmists look more like they’re trying to push for political goals that they otherwise could not achieve without making it more of a crisis than it is. Also, what good does it do for the West to strain a gnat while China, Russia, India, and the rest of the developing world swallow a camel?!

    The US has lead all nations in carbon reduction. If it’s so ***damn dire, how about the other nations **** up their own economies over this ****. The answer I most suspect is true, because it’s harder for the US to push top down liberty destructive policies onto the masses unless there’s plenty of fear porn occupying the news cycle. Oh. And because the Green Indu$trial Complex needs your money more than you do.

    Here's what I ask them, if global warming is caused by co2, how does the co2 get up in the atmosphere? Since it's heavier than air, if there was enough co2 to get up high enough to do that we'd all be dead from lack of air
