People live longer every decade and the definition of Senior Citizen doesn’t change. This would not be a bad fact on its own…but declining birth rates can cause many issues.

You are completely changing definition of going to war. “Ramped up” is not going to war. One went to war, one did not. Kamala was a bad candidate, but only one person was stupid enough to start a new war.

Yes, to you and the other poster, facts are irrelevant. Y’all are exactly why MAGA will stay in power and Israel will continue to do whatever they want with the Palestinians. You can continue to feel smug about sitting out of the political system.

What are you talking about? What war? You just make shit up. That is why MAGA will be around for a while. Facts are irrelevant.

I have no idea what your cute nicknames are referring to. Sufficiently different opinion? Literally everyone who didn’t want to go to war for Benjamin Netanyahu…which is everyone but Trump. Or how about anyone not dumb enough to send their son in law to solve middle easy peace. Night and day difference to anyone paying attention.

Because no one could possibly be as poor a candidate as Kamala. You make it sound like a neoliberal conspiracy…what I remember was desperation and incompetence.

Once again. Your reasoning is why I am fully prepared to have Trump’s entire family run the country for a couple decades, give Israel open reign to do whatever they want, and for a bunch of non-voters pretending to care about Palestinians continue to sabotage themselves.

70% of Democrats want to stop funding Israel. Trump fights Benjamin Netanyahu’s wars for him. But they are exactly the same.

Kamala? The candidate picked by Biden and no one else had the same views as Biden? Wow!

Not sure if I am angry, or just resigned that we will always have Trump like figures in office so that some voters can feel morally superior.

I personally think the moral thing to do it vote for the first comic if that is the choice on election day. In reality no 2028 Dem candidate will be like Biden on foreign affairs, and there will be much more accountability if Dems simply take the House and Senate compared with zero accountability on foreign affairs today.

I think that is a point worth considering too. I would argue we have incrementally been in decline regarding workers for 4 decades, and just not doing that would have also avoided Trump. Anyway we probably mostly agree.

In defense of small changes, the 2nd term Trump administration is a great example for why it should be difficult to make big changes. Even with the decent guardrail, he is able to completely destroy congressional mandated agencies, implement random tariffs (tariffs are back BTW), use DoJ as personal revenge agency. There should be a small appreciation of what we have today when compared to the last three thousand years of history. Things really can get a lot worse and very quickly.

Do I want Medicaid for all/single payer, yes.

Would I settle for Medicaid for those who want it, definitely.

Yes, and no one invaded anyone on October 7th 2023. Of course Israel does not have the moral high ground, but the logic could go either way.
