How many times does this have to be proven untrue before you give it a rest. It didn’t happen. The election wasn’t stolen. Trump was a terrible president and it cost him the election. End of discussion.
Holy shit, a smt 3 fan. never would of though of finding one on the pol area

when did i ever say that i care? idgaf either way, nor did i say it negatively impacts me either, sounds like you have alot of anger in you, you should see someone about that, my entire point was, PHD"s dont mean much when someone who has 4 of them is so deep into fantasy that they say something that isnt true, as scholar man im sure you know what i mean... unless you agree with them?

yea im not a man of culture, i still only think women can be women.
so you lied then? got it.

I have dreams and visions of a great future too. Also, you missed the point that you'd be subjecting yourself to a socialist program on-top of a capitalistic model. Not an improvement. The recipe is pretty clear there.

Okay... I'll fill you in. It results in taking as much money, as possible, from everyone.
We have to pay taxes no matter what. There's no reason we should be paying for healthcare insurance as well when it could just come out of taxes instead. I'm not sure how I can dumb it down for you any more than that.

That's not true. I'm not Obama. I'm not demanding everyone pay health insurance.
Useful idiot it is then, as you refuse to consider any alternatives to Obamacare. Puts you on the same page as Joe Biden, funny enough.

Lol if only. Any and every employer in a capitalist system participates in these things to varying degrees. You'll never get paid your true worth or the same amount as the value you generate, save perhaps a few self-employment opportunities where those involved are typically already well-off.
What is your true worth? How much value do you bring to your company?

Many people coming out of college have this idea in their heads they should immediately be getting paid the wage of a 3rd tier senior person with 20 years of experience. But once you have real experience you can start making demands, and while you have to fight and won't always get what you want. With enough effort you can get a balance of between your time and effort.

I could get an each 30% wage increase by going through hell and commuting over an hour and a half one way. Instead I settled for a job that's just under 2x the average household income for my area, in a great new house, awesome top tier schools, with European level time off, low stress and excellent work life balance for a 8 mile commute a few days a week.

No one will just give you everything in life. You have to fight for it.

Because I branched off from psychology into neurophysiology? Sure kid. Whatever makes you feel better.
Were you their doctor before their suicides? Did you personally examine them? If not, then you have zero evidence why they committed suicide. Your narrative keeps breaking down. And Brian Sicknick died from a stroke from natural causes. That is the conclusion of the medical examiner, the guy who actually examined his body. Not some internet nobody bragging about credentials.

So back to the original point, the only people who died that day were Trump supporters, two were killed by Capitol police, one lady was beaten to death with a baton outside of the tunnel. Not a single police officer died that day or at the hands of any Trump supporter. Those are facts, not narrative. Sorry if it offends your sensibilities.

People in utopias like Canada or the UK with their public healthcare can and still do pay for their own private insurance to get better benefits. The UK was having staffing issues years before the US due to low pay and long hours.

No you don't. You choose to pay taxes because "everyone else is compliant". Whether it comes out of your taxes or not doesn't negate the cost. At least pre-Obama, you had more of an option not to.

Useful idiot it is then, as you refuse to consider any alternatives to Obamacare. Puts you on the same page as Joe Biden, funny enough.

No. I don't buy it. I also didn't propose it.

That's the old boomer mentality, and at one point (before the 80s) it very well may have been true. Now we've got retirees working at McDonald's who will definitely tell you otherwise, and the vast majority of Americans no longer believe that hard work will pay off in the long run (spoiler: it doesn't). Unionization can help, as well as frequently leveraging one job into a better one, but profiteering on necessities like food and shelter is still out of control.

Retirees who didn't save up for retirement? Criminals kicked out of the justice systems as they would now require expensive medical treatments?

As for complaining about boomer mentality, maybe young people should pay attention. I'm a millennial and the advice has served me well. I studied and taught myself valuable skills, and then worked as I attended college to get a piece of paper that says I know what I already claimed I knew and graduated without any debt. All while surviving three separate large market down turns, in 2001, 2003, and 2008 which lead to periods of massive layoffs, and some long periods of unemployment for me.

We'll see how bad this recession is, but I have a self funded safety net along with contingency plans.

The last two years have been a worker's market due to labor shortages. Anyone that is unhappy with their situation who didn't takes advantage of the job market to improve their situation is either a fool or just extremely lazy.

14 posts in and we still haven't heard an answer on if the far right in this thread thinks the election was stolen or not. Little weird.
No one can say for sure without evidence. But FOIA requests have just revealed that Bill Barr did not have the DOJ investigate any fraud claims contrary to his promises. So I guess just like the court cases there's no standing before the election as nothing happened, or after the election, as it's too late to do anything about it. :rolleyes:

protip: if every court case about election fraud fails, then the election wasn't stolen

Belittling trans people and their struggles doesn’t do anything except make you look like an ass. It’s not helpful, and it’s uncalled for. And calling someone a weirdo for expressing their identity is bullying. If you’re over the age of 12, you should flat out know better.
Seems to me the left are the ones who are transphobic. Instead of helping these people seek mental help, the only solution offered is chemical castration and irreversible surgery and body mutilation followed by additional surgeries, a lifetime of medications, regret and oftentimes, suicide. At least the doctors are making bank destroying lives.

I know you don't believe me, but look up stories from de-transitioners. The left doesn't care about them because they go against the narrative.
