> Sex is germy

There's an understatement.

Joe Biden is on camera repeatedly sniffing kids, and his son made moves on an underage family member.

If you chose to vote for Biden, I hope it wasn’t because of this allegation against Trump.

You had two choices of which both were horrid. Which bad choice do you pick and if they are both that bad is the distinction significant?

And this is yet another comment made by what I would describe as a "bad person".

Leaving Trump aside for the moment, the last four years have shown up how fundamentally undemocratic the US is.

No one ever expected Trump to get more votes than Biden. Even the Republicans were well aware of this. In fact, 7 of the last 8 Presidential elections have ended with a Democrat getting more votes than a Republican.

Yet even with a 3.5 million vote lead, the perception was the election was on a knife edge.

This is ridiculous. The EC is an anachronmism and needs to be abolished. It made sense when it was established, but it's clearly not working.

Same for the Senate. 70% of people are represented by 30% of Senators.

You desperately need to fix your broken electoral systems.
Yes, I sometimes see a logical sounding but naive argument that laws should be completely free of grey area and understandable by laypersons because it would be unfair to require people to conform their conduct to laws they cannot fully understand or predict. A little experience with law shows that when the “problem space” you are trying to regulate is the real world including human intentions there is no way to make things logically complete and airtight and free of unfair edge cases so in practice law is somewhat a social construct where you have to have the human enforcers interpreting fairly.
And a fetus is a human life. A person does not get redefined based on their location. What science is there that defends the right to an abortion?
> I'm strongly libertarian

Ah, labels, I don't find them helpful because everyone seems to understand political labels differently. What does this label mean to you? To me it means someone who would be quite dead after he gets the systen he wants, because he would end up eating tainted meat and drinking poisoned water, because, in my imagination the libertarian mindset is "Geez, government controlling my food? how dare they?".

So I end up rolling my eyes at anyone calling themselves this label...
My pet theory is similar, but slightly more nuanced, and comes from my history of being harshly bullied in middle school.

The group dynamics of bullying are pretty straightforward. There will always be bullies at the top who want to cement their status by showing their power as a bully. To get a significant group of people to go along with the bullying, however, (think everyone laughing along when the bully makes fun of someone) that group needs to be really unsure of their place in the social hierarchy. They know bullying is wrong but at that point are somewhat terrified of ending up on the wrong side of the bullying. That's why you see so much bullying in middle school, where kids are usually just starting to find their place in the social hierarchy.

I think in the US (and many Western democracies) there is currently so much unease about economics, about finding a good, and more importantly, stable job, that the situation is ripe for a bully to come along and take advantage of people's general worries about their place in the world to think "better for me to be a bully myself than to be the person that ends up on the bottom of the totem pole". Think of the crowd laughing along when Trump mocked a reporter with cerebral palsy.

When you couple this with large, structural racial changes in the US, it's not hard to see how Trump was able to take advantage.

A prominent German politician and his cabinet were hardly blonde-blue-eyed Aryan uber-mensch, but hypocrisy and lack of logic has never been much of an obstacle for racists.

It's quite possible to be a jew and an anti-semite, a woman and a misogynist, and a non-white white supremacist. It's easy, actually - just define an out-group that, for some contrived bullshit reason or other, doesn't include you.
Gasoline vapors are pretty bad. A long time ago I had a little ski boat, and was pretty concerned about running out of gas. So I put a gallon jug of emergency gas in the boat. Now, the boat was completely open to the breeze. No matter how tightly I closed the cap on that jug (and it was a standard gas can) the fumes made me nauseous. I finally gave it up.

The same goes for filling a gas can at the station to transport to the boat to fill its tank. I would not spill a drop of gas, and driving it home I'd have all the windows open on the car and drive with my head out the window and it would still make me sick.

Sampling errors are random, and expected. Other types of misses are not simple "errors" but polling flaws, like sampling a non-representative group, ignoring non-responders or assuming they break the same as the responders, asking poorly-worded questions, etc.

Occasional flaws in polling is understandable and tolerated. But when those misses repeatedly line up the same way, and are rather sizeable, that's evidence of either systematic flaws, or outright bias.
He pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Who was specifically in jail for refusing to stop racially targeting minorities for police harassment.

You can't pretend there isn't systemic racism, and that Trump isn't racist, when he is doing things like that.

There is no other way to interpret that action.
Yeah. It seems like a lot of people think they deserve to be filthy rich with a large servant class working for them. The economics of it just don’t work though. It takes a lot of working people to sustain the lifestyle of one rich person.
This is a very old-school way of thinking, without any mention of privacy or how to share data safely between different users. As soon as you have multiple users, especially when they don't trust each other, things get much more complicated.

Should you really be able to do anything you like with your bank account or DMV record? And do you really want the people you interact with to download all the photos you share?

Single-user systems are much easier to deal with, but they're just sandboxes that don't do every much.
Re-empowering electors could help with respect to presidential elections. Popular election of senators really ties our hands at the senate level, though. Point being, it is difficult to turn a plurality into a compromise majority without either a runoff or a delegated negotiation of some sort. Parliamentary systems have that baked in, of course.
> More importantly, I think both the concerns of human rights, and the employment of your fellow citizens, should not be a partisan issue.

McConnel has already demonstrated that he will make it a partisan issue by ramming through a Supreme Court justice and recessing the Senate without even giving the appearance of considering a second round of COVID relief.

> And this is just one example. I'm sure there's more common ground if you look just at policy.

It won't force bad faith actors to cooperate, regardless of any common ground between voters because they, as the GP said, won't hold their politicians to account. Acting as the opposition even when they're in power is built into the party at this point, as demonstrated by the President's many legislative failures starting with the ACA repeal. It's just wishful thinking and I'm hoping enough people are done with the feel good woowoo.

A zero-percent tax, to my knowledge, does not make an effective society. Society functions because it is comprised of individuals overall working together.

Like, seriously, you can't keep using public infrastructure and services and think taxes are slavery. The amount of shit you use daily that is funded by your taxes, hell, that is funded by my taxes as well from across the globe, is unreal. You would have to go find some virgin island and live off the land of you were to take this ridiculous argument to its logical conclusion.

And you're probably paying for private insurance right now. Either because you have to, or because your employer makes you. A socialized healthcare system would be more efficient and fair on everyone, you included. How do I know? I had to have sinusoidal surgery two years ago and didn't have to run a fucking indigogo campaign to pay for it.

Increasing taxes is not increasing slavery.

Decreasing taxes is not reducing slavery.

Socialized healthcare is not slavery.
That's interesting, but I think a more basic motive is simply that we reached a limit to postwar growth in the early 70s, and this move was a way to keep up the metrics (embedded growth obligations), giving the appearance of growth, but actually taking it out of the wages of scientists and engineers. This is a terrible thing, because it's a particularly insidious form of eating your seed corn, in that you really don't see the full effects for decades. Think of all of the scientific advances we ought to see by now that aren't just your phone and laptop...
You don’t even need that. Make the primaries the only election. People choosing their favorite candidate without any filter and put all the primaries on the same day.
I recently ventured into the Campervan world. A friend gave me a couple of older nice waterproof Polk audio speakers. Mounted them in the back of the van on a custom rubber shock mount I build from random pieces at the hardware store.

I wanted a way to power the speakers and send music via bluetooth 5. All powered off my 12v solar system. Looked around at all the 'commercial' offerings and found nothing attractive. Everything was over priced or just didn't have modern features.

So... I searched around on Amazon for the right keywords. Ended up getting one of these little class D 100w+100w amps with treble and bass knobs off Amazon for $30 [1]. Got a 12v->24v step up for $16 [2] to give the amp a bit more power and less distortion.

Works amazingly well for a fraction of the price of anything else.

I would want to say that IPv6 works, but as someone who manages an on-prem stack with workers that has dual-stack internet, surprisingly there are much more demand on IPv4 than IPv6 even though I've expected than reverse. Long-term connectivity are also preferred on IPv4 by a factor of around 7 times. I guess that the equipment that the ISP deployed handles IPv4 much better than IPv6 (which is telling of the state of IPv6).
Ah yes, I must’ve been hearing things all those years ago when Trump called for a “complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the country”. Extremely non-racist thing to say. Get over yourself.
He did everything in his power to make sure this election would be a catastrophe (but failed, to the credit of Republican and Democratic state governments).

Now, he’s refusing to accept the results of the election.

He has appointed self-proclaimed facists and neo-Nazis to his inner circle.

His apparently illegal secret police force illegally detained protestors over the objections of the state governments that had legal jurisdiction over the protests.

He said he rushed the appointment of an additional judge to the supreme court so he would have enough votes to overturn the election results.

People claim he wants to be a “fascist dictator” because these are just recent examples of his four year concerted effort to dismantle our democracy.

He did all of these things in the open. There’s no “catastophizing” here. These are all, well-documented, uncontested facts. Most are documented by multiple videos of him, and members of his administration speaking about them. There are dozens of other examples of this behavior, also all well-documented.

Fortunately, it looks like he failed, and will soon be a former president.

> Look no further than the dead wrong "polling data" -- again -- to see there's an agenda playing out in our hands and living rooms.

I think this is a tired, lazy argument. First, while the polls were skewed they actually weren't that wrong, and many of the differences are magnified by the fact that the electoral college forces us to chop up one large poll (the national results) into lots of small ones (the states) where statistically you're likely to see more variance no matter what. And as for the skew, the generally accepted explanation that it's easier to poll urban, more highly educated people than rural, lower educated people makes much more sense than there being some coordinated conspiracy.
A few quick thoughts...

Can you provide an instance where Trump's individual action prevented a military engagement or war that was actively lobbied for by leading Republican figures?

It seems unlikely for a President to start a military engagement without the support of their closest political allies and constituents. So it would seem that blame for previous wars should fall across both Congress and the President, and you can no doubt agree that many of the same Republicans (and Democrats) are in the same seats that they were then.
> re-education camps

Aka schools? Honestly, what do you do with people making $40k / year who think they’re going to be affected by tax on earnings over $400k, going to pay tax on the sale of their primary residence, and going to be affected by the estate tax?

There are a lot of people that can’t seem to figure out they aren’t rich and are never going to be.

>What I fail to understand, as a foreigner, is how someone can vote for a president who is an outright liar

Politicians are liars by definition. It is part of the job description. More people abstained than voted for either candidate.
It's actually too much of a price. Most of on this site can gladly afford $10 a month for 12 months, but that's $120 a year. That's a lot of money for some people, and when you add people in other countries, that could be someone's monthly salary.
When I say "the right candidate" I don't mean Biden specifically. If Trump now suddenly starts overtaking in multiple states with the ballots that are still being counted, people opposed to him will also find it suspicious and be unhappy with those results. The overall point is that this kind of voting shouldn't be allowed to this degree in the first place because it only generates doubt no matter who wins. As for the PA situation, yes, that's true, but the process I described is happening or happened in multiple states, not just there.

>What I fail to understand, as a foreigner, is how someone can vote for a president who is an outright liar.

American politicians lie through their teeth as a matter of fact. No one gets or delivers anything they campaign on. This is by design. However, I'm still in your camp as well. I can't understand it at all. He didn't get off the first week of his campaign before I was dead refusing to vote for him.

However, I couldn't vote for his opponents either, which is where I think a lot of people get caught out, and where I think we have a real weakness in our system. That someone like him even got to that point is a testament that apparently anyone can do it. Just be a bull headed, pathologically lying charlatan and find a way to insert yourself in the nations political apparatus when the time is right.
This is really good news. I'm so glad to see it. I'm really impressed with how this article not only cites Portugal's success but emphasizes that their success grows out of more than mere decriminalization of drugs. It's a necessary but insufficient step towards doing what Portugal has done.

This is one of the most hopeful things I have read in a long time.

Regardless of whether you call gridlock a feature or something else, I think that it should be used to the benefit of the people. Unfortunately, too many times it is used not to the benefit of the relevant constituents, but for playing political games, catering to interests of some financial donors and sometimes even due to an outright lack of responsibility. As for "repairing moral fabric", this has nothing to do with the gridlock issue. I don't know why you even mentioned that in this context.

I’ve answered elsewhere, but note that conservativism isn’t one and the same as the Republican party; nor is it the same as the evangelical crowd.

But tl;dr; answer: Modern abortion has its roots with a founder who was also strong advocate for eugenics.

She was a product of her time and really believed she was advocating for improvement of society, but the ideas took a dark turn.

The only notable opposition were from the conservative religious circles; but as noted even there the record is spotty.

Still, credit where credit is due.

Whether more modern evangelicals are rooted from the same opposition is irrelevant.

That you don't see that something is wrong when an intelligence agency fabricates fake evidence in order to advance a political agenda against other parts of it's own government is chilling.
Still, if one must have pre-typing spelling assistance instead of just spelling it wrong and correcting it afterward, seems like something you'd be better off putting on-screen where you're actually looking, rather than displaying it on the keyboard where you typically not looking. Even if you do look down you'd need to move your hands out of the way to see which key is glowing.

For me, backlit keys are useful to set my hands in the right place, and then I stop looking at them. When I have them change color, it's a reminder of which keys in my fn-layer are bound to other functions like volume up/down and previous/play+pause/next.
> Trump will challenge the election results in court and succeed or fail. It's as simple as that. Personally, I hope it's a failure because I don't want there to have been any impropriety. If that's the case, Trump is done. There is no fascism. There is no dictator.

It's not “as simple as that.”

He's made baseless claims about the security of mail-based voting, suggested that shifts in tallies are the results of illegal votes — instead of a predictable effect of preventing counties from tallying ballots until election day, and clearly and unequivocally claimed that he has won the election and that any other outcome must be a result of fraud.

Working to create the appearance of fraud and then pointing to the situation as evidence is problematic, even if it is not ultimately successful.
I already told you in the other thread that you have a different definition of socialism than the people you're talking to.

It's not bad faith. You need to accept you are working off a different vocabulary. Your shitty media abuses this to stoke the divide.

Neither definition is more correct, but it stands to reason that people arguing in favour of "socialism in politics" aren't Stalinists, for fucks sake. If anyone tells you that, they are trying to rile you up. And if you believe them, you're a fool.
