Sick and tired of "he who must not be named"....

Blaming China, and punishing her with travel bans and other economic counter measures isn't going to make the Covid19 virus disappear. The world should fight it together by finding the most efficacious antidote, not find further cause for division by blaming each other after the horse has bolted.

"Find the horse" is the next step...

To be honest I'd be surprised if someone other than a diehard Trump supporter or a baby didn't get sick and tired of him at some point.

My three year old nephew would scream at him if he didn't do exactly as asked.

I can't believe my six year old wants our president dead. We never talked that way about our president but she came up with that idea on her own. She thinks if he just disappears, everything would go good again and our country would be calm. Even she is sick of him.

The reason why he is in the spot light is because he has caused a lot of chaos and our country became split because of it and everyone is scared about the upcoming election. I don't remember it being this bad when Obama was in office or George Bush or Bill Clinton. I remember if you supported either president, no one judged you. Sure there have always been someone out there who will call you an idiot for supporting Bush or voting Obama. But my god, I don't remember seeing all this chaos and our country being so split. I don't blame them either because how would you feel if someone was supporting someone who is a threat to your race? You would feel betrayed and this is why our country is split because he is the fricken president and has made things go in reverse. One of my online friends describes him as wanting to turn everything back into the 1950's again and that is his way of wanting to make America Great Again. And people support him? This is why things are so bad.

It makes me think or Ireland and how they used to be one country and then they split so that is why there is Ireland and Northern Ireland. Imagine the same happening for the US?


Sadly I think we will keep hearing about him until the election or for another four more years.

The workplace should be free of politics as far as practically possible. Ultimately it is a choice and one which is supposed to be secret. We have a multitude of parties here and a proportional representation system, which works well and allows for a multiparty system.

Voting is by secret ballot and we don't have endlessly intrusive opinion polls.

I policy studies, one of the first models you discuss is the Rational Agent Model. Basically, it states people analyze the factors and arrive at a rational answer. This will determine their vote. Then you read about why that model never works. Yes, our democracy is broken simply because it is at the whim of irrationality and how easy that irrationality is manipulated. The values expressed by conservatives and liberals are both important. And their ignorance is equally destructive, whether that is climate denial (conservative position) or anti-vaxx (liberal). Unfortunately, we live in a winner takes all culture. Right now the world is going through a rightward shift that has been going on for 40 years. Extreme positions tend not to hold indefinitely, especially ones imposed by minorities (the US Senate would be a good example, where it has pushed through conservative positions while hindering liberal ones, even though the party majority represents a minority of US voters).

All these crimes against humanity just to stop a medical process they don't even understand.

Hating abortion doesn't grant you an excuse to mow more innocent people down.
