I just want to say this polarization you see isn't it mostly online. In real world settings aren't most people civil. We can't always choose our setting in real life, but why seek out online influencers/fake people to harm ourselves..

Sorry, I didn't respond to your post to answer your question. I responded because I was curious why people take anything she says seriously, especially people who generally don't agree with her world view. It's odd to me, still

Yes, but doing that with a liar is just inviting trouble and being reckless. we can make good policies that help everyone, including ambitious liars, without having to interact with them

a terrible person is someone who lies without hesitation. agreeing or arguing with them is pointless. because they just want to win the argument, and because they have no real principles they have no problem contradicting their previous statements lol

For people who say things like that terrible person actually said things I agree with, I want to ask can you even tell which of their statements are their true beliefs and which were grifter statements? does it matter?

I don't understand the emotional manipulation or mental gymnastics. The only true empathy every one should be concerned about losing is the one we naturally have towards injustice.

Damn. kids shouldn't be allowed to go to church until they're 18 or something

when everyone just responds to the words Kirk and others like him say I feel like it's not the real issue. doesn't everyone also say people like him don't believe the words they say? it's all a corrupt side of capitalism, lying being normal, scams being normal, surely the gov can crack down on this

Just curious. what actor or performance artist doesn't donate to worthy causes? talented, well-traveled, cultured people usually do. I don't get your cynicism

The definition of immigrant is literally just someone who physically moved to another country to live. It doesn't specify whether they were trafficked/illegally-crossed or not

I don't feel she's wrong, she's just using the broader definition, nothing of intent

And with all the propaganda about immigrant invasion I also forget that throughout our history immigrants were invited to the country, invited with promises, and now the country wants to kick them out after? Doesn't sit right

Sigh, just listen to yourself, your justifications aren't based on fact or evidence, just belief. You really are a propaganda eating darling of the right. Keep voting against your own interests and the destruction of your country while those of us who are sane will fight for you, and the rule of law

Why are you even on here if all you can do is shout insults you think are clever? You know it only says a lot about you when all you can say is stupid insults. Yet you can't say one truthful thing about Trump, not one. You really don't love yourself enough to know the truth of anything 🤷

It's not my feelings, dude. I have no South American relatives either, I just know right from wrong. Unfortunately, you don't. You should ask yourself how you know so many lies about South American legal residents, yet none of Trump's lies and wrongs. It's not me living in a bubble.

Wow you literally just admitted you don't care unless it happens to someone you care about. Epitome of dumb as a rock

Identified by who? Was there a trial with evidence? Is that the kind of justice system you support, until it happens to someone you care about? Gross

Absolutely, they don't want him back here to become another symbol of resistance. They're already scared of Luigi

They're just going to make up charges. This administration is so corrupt.

why do they feel no shame doing stuff like this, aren't their awful reasons obvious to everyone?

Are you saying 4% would but can't afford it?

As long as you don't engage in manipulation and aggression I wouldn't call you a sociopath. Generally, we care about people who we think care about us. You're not wrong.

Makes me ask, do they think they're targeting "liberals" for fun?

It feels like a situations where the party needed 10 volunteers to prevent a shutdown, and the ones not seeking reelection sacrificed themselves...

"if you believe the GOP...can be reasoned with..." I don't need to believe anything. I watched this process happen before, you CAN pressure your Republican reps to vote a certain way, AND people who aren't on social media have been instinctually doing just that recently, ie engaging in democracy

You keep making wild leaps in logic, and here I was being sincere when I said you're sweet lol. I'm not okay with anything, but I'm reasonable, that's all. Your claims against him are so exaggerated that I really can't take you seriously. Not my fault. Have a good day

You're so sweet I don't even want to say he's not selling out anything by selling his book, I don't see a moral conflict there. He HAS been looking worn out recently though. But then again, everyone I know has been extra stressed these days. He should get with his colleagues and recharge that energy

Lining your pockets suggest getting money illegally, how is a book tour a shady business deal? And how wealthy is he? I have no idea. Have you ever watched Roland Martin, he started a black media company, and I think Jeffries was even a recent guest lol

I don't see how that's greed. The house is dismissed, what do you want him to do. See how your demands can be unreasonable. If people can pressure their Republican reps, these reps through voting can reverse things, what I think has a higher chance of success, and Dems still would get no credit lol

Jeffries is a house rep, not dnc, his job is in the house, which I think the speaker dismissed for vacation atm. Plenty of dnc officials out talking to media, going on TV etc, how else can they reach people I'm not sure maybe the people should reach out to them as much or more than congress dems
