Liberals didn’t protest the alternative to Trump. That was leftists.

Trump, and these people helped get him elected.

We’re talking about whether recycling is feasible.

Whether or not it is feasible is decided by how hard it is to do compared to just making new materials.

Your comment seemed to be saying the contaminates in recycling make them harder to recycle back to their raw materials (compared to making new raw materials).

Raw materials come from the ground. By your standards of “contamination” aren’t raw materials much more contaminated?

A lot of work goes into refining glass, aluminum, steel, copper etc. A lot of impurities have to be removed to make those materials for the first time.

That wardrobe will live on forever in our hearts and minds… in the form of microplastics.

Tires are the 2nd largest contributor to microplastics in the ocean. Synthetic fabric like nylon, polyester, etc. are the main contribution.

It’s not a dealbreaker for her voters. Politicians can have one stance on a subject but it is their job to do what their constituents want them to do.

I stayed up all night studying for this drug test! You gotta give me a 2nd try!

They are either trying to trick people into not voting against the GOP or they have been tricked themselves.

“Both sides are the same” has been a bad faith argument I’ve heard from conservatives for decades.

Seems likely that Russia is behind p2025

When choices are far right and center right, center left and far left voters just stay home.

So you’re saying that Trump is in office because leftists stayed home instead of voting?

And no. Educated people vote left at a much higher rate!

You said Americans are sooo uneducated.

Meaning they won’t vote left.

There’s way more evidence that Americans want far left policies

Not according to the election results.

Problem is that Americans are soooooooo politically uneducated it’s scary

Doesn’t this increase the chances of a leftist losing?

I don’t think we should risk another 4 years with GOP/Trump candidate based on your opinion.

This is Russia using Tulsi and other politicians they own to dismantle our intelligence from the inside.

Money makes or breaks elections.

I think Dems would’ve lost by much more if they didn’t work with the rich, the military industry, etc.

For example, the progressives that lost their elections because AIPAC funded their opposition.

No, Trump won because of foreign influence primarily from Russia. Also he had help from the billionaire class and the GOP propaganda machine.

Together they were able to tip the scales less than what Trump lost by in 2020.

They accomplished this by convincing democratic voters to either not vote or to vote for Trump.

How do you know who influenced Obama’s decisions?

If Trump and the GOP accomplish their goals there will not be any more “rounds” or elections.

This is the reason it’s a bad strategy

In this context, “valid strategy” = everyone is worse off, protestors get the opposite of what they wanted and fascist gain power.

In this context, “punishing the other player” = punishing yourself.

The timing, the fact that it was only used against democrats is a sign that the GOP will use it to their advantage.

The way it was done is also an issue. In this context, the message of the protest was that democrats needed to give the protestors what they want. Otherwise democrats wouldn’t get votes from the protestors. Resulting in the protestors helping Trump get elected.

Democrats have constituents that do not agree with those protestors and so democrats would’ve lost votes by giving into the protestors. Resulting in the protestors helping Trump get elected in this outcome also.

In my opinion, supporters of a party should express what they want changed by engaging with their politicians.

The only time that won’t work with a politician is if their intel indicates they gain more votes by not making those changes.

In that scenario, the supporters need to accept that the majority rules in a democracy and vote for the lesser of two evils because that is in the best interest of those supporters.

Instead what happened was protestors cut off their nose to spite their face and now things are much worse as a result.
