Please do share some opposing opinions rather than just shitting on someone else daring to add their voice to the great chorus of democracy.
I'm sure everyone will have a lot of time to indulge your certainly well-informed and nuanced political opinions.
"The great chorus of democracy"....
Sorry if it just seems like im shitting on opinions, but like this, it's just bad... this "great chorus of democracy" is called an echo chamber. It is a chorus. Everyone is reaffirming each other's opinions with no one able to say contrary without ridicule and insults. No one with opposing views wants to be here because of this. Thus, it turns into an echo chamber.
I don't think most here get out into the real world much because people here think the opinions shared here are shared by everybody... but no, the reinforced opinions here are not litmus test of reality.
I'm not inclined to take you up on that offer as it seems very disingenuous. I'm not going to express my political opinions so you and your crew can team up and harass me. I'll give you this, our options for POTUS are pitiful. It nearly makes me sick, considering either as our next president. Having said that, Harris is a weak puppet. Biden was senile puppet. Between the 2 options, it sucks but I think Trump is the better choice. He isn't going to end democracy or destroy America like dissenting voice claim. He'll be in office for 4 years and then be gone. Thank God. Many Conservatives have shamed and disgraced the party by turning into the trump party.
Having said that, everything is going to be fine. With either candidate, there will be ups and down, but we're going survive. America will be fine. Every needs to chill out, we need to quit with all the division and hate, that's what they try to do, they try to divide us. It's hard not to fall into it, I'm a victim of it myself. Anyway, I didn't mean to rant. Let me just say that echo chambers are real and very bad. Like it or not, lemme is an echo chamber, reddit is an echo chamber. The dangerous part is not to understand that one is in an echo chamber. I believe most here don't realize that they are in an echo chamber. Its unhealthy... anyway.. geez. Sorry
