    The U.S. is more dangerously divided than any other wealthy democracy. Is there a way back from the brink? (Yascha Mounk)

    I think all of his rhetoric and policy are pretty common sensical but I can see how someone within that deranged bubble might feel threatened by it.

    I agree that DeSantis would be a better candidate that Trump. A better President too.

    What position or opinion have you changed your mind on, and why?

    Pretty much from generic pro choice to generic pro life

    I wish Trump could've taken his loss well like Clinton and the Democrats did am I right?

    How can you say this when Biden is not only historically unpopular but Trump is actually beating him in 2024 polling (the aggregate)

    The U.S. is more dangerously divided than any other wealthy democracy. Is there a way back from the brink? (Yascha Mounk)

    From what I can gather as a foreigner it seems many Americans lack in commonality and are isolated in their own echo chambers, greatly exacerbated by social media. Instead of sharing same universal values, everyone who is even slightly different from me in ideology is stupid/evil/traitor and as...

    What position or opinion have you changed your mind on, and why?

    Most of them. Growing up I was a fairly left wing atheist. Then I started thinking more critically and became a right wing atheist. I'd say one position that best embodies this is abortion. I was once in denial and using the same rhetoric until I was forced to look at it for what it is, the...

    roeVwade:Same-sex couples updating legal status after Supreme Court’s decision on abortion (Jay Reeves) [+CNN clip]

    You respond to fact with insults and name calling. Prove it wrong. Prove that most abortions *aren't* convenient abortions of a viable fetus.

    Imagine thinking any political party cares about you

    Tldr; Texas Republicans aren't Democrats so I don't like them

    roeVwade:Same-sex couples updating legal status after Supreme Court’s decision on abortion (Jay Reeves) [+CNN clip]

    Most abortions are done for convenience and don't pretend like you don't know this to be true. People can choose to not engage in casual sex, or to use protection, or to otherwise accept that sex carries the risk of pregnancy. Not wanting or feeling you cannot afford the baby is not license to...

    left wingers have to scaremonger because they know abortion is indefensible.

    U.S. Supreme Court set to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision

    No to tell you the truth I'm not very fond of democracy given how generally stupid and uninterested the public seems to be, and the results you get from the process. But how I feel is irrelevant. I'm telling you how it is, not how it ought to be. You can't dispute that Trump or Bush won their...

    U.S. Supreme Court set to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision

    Funny to me that Democrats who haven't recognised any Republican President as legitimate since Bush 1, and also complain about Georgia 18 with unsubstantiated conspiracies about voter suppression are so vocal about 2020 election conspiracies. There's already rhetoric about how Trump/Republicans...

    U.S. Supreme Court set to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision

    You can cry about the popular vote but that has never mattered. Saying the supreme court is therefore illegitimate is just absurd and factually incorrect, since both Bush 2 and Trump won their elections legitimately. McConnell holding up Merrick Garland was also his prerogative, and Democrats...
