I’m not American. Maybe my opinion also comes from a place of not understanding how government works in the US. But in 2020, Biden won the Presidency and the Democrats had control of the House and the Senate. Yet, they had a harder time of reversing Trump’s policies than he had pushing them through. Let alone not even trying to enact progressive policies.

As an outside observer, maybe that’s why people have lost faith in the Democratic party.

Well, have you seen said atoms?

Nobody said anything about combining alcohol and weed.

I said that if you compared alcohol and junk food consumption against weed consumption, you will find that alcohol and junk food (again, not in combination) are objectively worse.

I added marijuana in brackets because I didn’t want some idiot to come and argue how cocaine would be worse.

Depending on the drug (marijuana), your alcohol and junk food consumption would be objectively worse.

Edit: Apparently people lack basic comprehension.

It’s a shockingly capitalist move tbh.

China in its current form is fairly capitalist - they are socialist in name only. This isn’t shocking if you remember that.

China flooding the market with solar panels, driving costs down is a good thing.

Thread is about criticizing China. Yet living life as a hypocrite.

Further replies = flailing

Flail away.

Oh get off your high horse.

We criticize the Chinese government for spying on its citizens. We claim it’s undemocratic to do so. Yet we do the same thing. This is not whataboutism, it’s textbook hypocrisy.

Meanwhile in a ”free” country:

Edit: apparently people are confused by whataboutism and hypocrisy.

that he was such an auteur that he would only do it if he could film on location

I came here to say this. Brilliant.

Perhaps the AI is smarter in this case for answering based on learned history.

You forget for example that there’s an overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest bears.

I mean there’s probably a nonzero percentage of the population that will struggle with this question too.

In the most dangerous way. This virus currently has a 50% kill rate when it infects humans.

You asked whether it was about his religion, implying it was antisemitism at play.

Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism.

Jerry Seinfeld has come out in support of Israel.

Buried in a small paragraph:

Seinfeld’s commencement speech at Duke also drew public attention when anti-war protesters walked out of the ceremony and booed from the audience when the TV star took the podium, according to NBC News and CBS News.

I’m pretty sure he’s going to roll back just about everything Biden has done.

Funny how we accept that it takes 4 years for Biden to roll back Trump’s nonsense one at a time but we expect Trump to roll back every single thing Biden’s has done right away.

I live in Ontario, Canada. The Speaker of the House has banned the keffiyeh in the legislature, citing its political nature.

I have an inkling this would be permitted.

Meanwhile Canada has a strategic reserve of maple syrup.
