Fine, if you said it that way. Let's ask this way: how do you think people read it? And to be clear: I don't think you personally have a major influence, but a lot of social media posts add up to a vibe. And the fine details and separations you lay out here tend to get lost if condensed into a general vibe. Some right-wing influencer takes this and gives it a certain spin on top - and this is how you lose people.

I mean you can be angry as much as you want, but it will change nothing. So go on as you like. I don't want to criticize you, but going this way of anger and blaming will not make you happier and mentally more healthy. It is always more productive to focus on things that you actually can control. Makes one feel better.

And to be clear: I am falling into this trap often enough. I am just a human after all. I just have given up mostly on the US years ago and just look at it with the stance: maybe with a lot of luck things can improve. So I don't feel as much feelings either way anymore. It still influences me for other things. But I try to remove my feelings from things outside of my control. Yelling at election results is like yelling at clouds for raining on you: pointless. So raging on about the voters isn't helping you now and potentially damaging in the future.

Either they don't cause he's too unpredictable or they attempt it cause he'll show he won't interviene. Idk anymore but I'm almost positive China is going to attempy to take Taiwan no matter who's in office, tbh, they have promised as much and does it really matter when they do it at that point. Probably better for them to try sooner before they have expanded their military capability and naval capability, I'd feel safer now that ten years down the line where they're more efficient militarily. Just me though, another war in another region with new players is adding more to a hot ww3. It's difficult to quantify the right time or under the right leadership of each side for something like that cause there is too many factors at play. 

And I say attempt because someone on this site eased my fears, they said Taiwan is not just an Island in the middle of the South China Sea, it is a very capable island in the middle of the SCS well prepared to handle an invasion, trained and drilled for the event even from a China with a well outfitted Naval capability down the road and they only continue to up their preparedness. It's not a take it or not siutationam and after someone mentioned that, Ryuu I think, and I looked into it my fears went out the window cause it very likely isn't going to work out in China's favour, if they do get onto the Island and manage to hold part of it, it'll be very much the same deal as Ukraine and all the US or it's neighbours like Japan, Austrialia and the philipines etc would have to do is back it in the same way and avoid direct intervention. Also, I just want to add how unlikely it is that they'd get onto the island, It's doubtful the Americans would even be able to do it with their full might and would end up having to bomb the ever living shit out of the island first. 

Alas, I think Trump caught up to speed on the importance of Taiwan would make the correct call. He'll probably even set up infrastructure in the US to get out of this dead lock and look for rare earth materials elsewhere knowing what's at stake. And let's not forget he hates China.  

With that Nick stuff, I've seen a lot of men replying directly to women lately in social media "your body, my choice" it's fucking sickening. But of course, the left need to watch their language, bad left! Can't criticise anyone ever again! Can't call out stupidity or disgusting stances! You must instead try to appeal to MAGA voters! Harris could barely appeal to Republicans, let alone MAGA.

The vast majority of people don't give a fuck about the bedwetting happening in here about mean names and labels, people are acting like Harris lost more because of mean words than the prices of groceries and such, have we lost our fucking minds? Lmao. Most human beings are selfish and will vote for what benefits them most, as simple as that, not what some loser on the internet said.

Democrats shouldn't actively try to appeal to Republicans, it was clearly useless this election, instead I'd say they should propose radical economic changes, a promise of something vastly different from the status quo, a Bernie-like approach to proceedings to improve peoples lives. Centrist always make the mistake of maintaining the status quo and it always leads to the raise in the far-right and then centrist end up moving further right, but there's already a right wing party that people vote for so they don't get votes, Lol.

I'd like to see Bernie groom a younger successor, it may be time to try his approach again.

this.  this 100%.  

At what point do you nuke this thread, lol. Never tell angry people to calm down they say and I'll head that advice but.... whoah. 👀 

You was wrong as pointed out by the UK Governments own fucking website, Lmao. And I know plenty of people in the UK with a driving license, including my own father, Lol. Who all disagreed with what you said, along with providing evidence from Reddit UK users, you did not provide any counter evidence of your own, all you said was that you was right because you have a driving license and took a test but I'll end this part here since it's off-topic.

I have and will happily admit when I'm wrong multiple times on this website, I don't think I've actually seen you admit to being wrong to anything. You're without a doubt one of the most ego driven members on this website who think you know better than everyone else and aren't afraid to show it. You love to rub it in peoples faces, even when you are wrong. Be honest, you think that you're better than everyone here.

Good question.  The one piece I do agree with, if it helps, is it isn't fair.  GOP has a much longer leash than liberals.  It is unfair, but my counter argument is life is unfair, better come up with better strategies.  Demonizing GOP voters doesn't work.  

Well, I don't care if Trump or his movements loses voters forever (well, at least the foreseeable future) because of insults. I do care a more if the other side loses voters forever (you know).

Yes, exactly. I say that for years. And others in this thread do as well.

LMFAO

Evidence from Reddit.  that pretty sums up everything on my end.  lol

Exactly. The conservative vs. progressive political struggle has never been a symmetrical one, and condescension doesn't help in the least.
