I don't understand any of the arguments being lobbed at me during the last few posts. I just don't understand the mindset. It just doesn't compute.
I guess I'm done here. |

Thread derailment! You need to stick to the topic and pick one.
My pick would be DeSantis. Don't like either, but that would be my choice. |

| I'm not much for nationalism or patriotism at this point, and haven't been for years. It's just glorified tribalism, which just divides us and is responsible for most of the s**t in this world. |

| Make America great again is a stock political term that has been used by multiple presidents in the past. Trump was just the first one to make it a movement and stick on merchandise. |

Maybe to you, but it seems a fairly significant accomplishment to me if someone’s able to keep that orange... |

| There is a significant group of people on the Left (at least I consider them to be on the Left whether or not they see themselves that way) who are convinced that Sanders was denied the nomination in 2016 and 2020 by some sort of conspiracy indistinguishable to me from what Trump supporters call th... |
