People like to forget the recession that didn't happen last year because Biden's administration busted it's ASS to keep Trump's economy from imploding our country for a decade. Instead it's "we have high inflation because Biden didn't do enough to fix Trump's economy."

They needed more than a simple majority to codify roe. Same thing for trans issues, the John Lewis voting rights act, etc. etc. We can talk about removing the filibuster, but imagine the state of trans rights, voting rights, the economy, etc. when Republicans only need a simple majority to pass their legislation.

It's important to keep in mind that Republicans to gather support only need to stonewall Democrats. "We blocked the trans bill, we blocked the voting rights act that would have let illegals vote, we blocked them from allowing the murder of babies." Iirc economic matters only require simple majorities, so tax cuts for the rich are super easy for them to get through when they are in power.

Tbh the messaging itself I haven't seen much of, but "I'm not a Republican" is enough of a message for me since January 6th.

Modern day weapons from the west, probably carpet munitions. I don't think they're using them, but I could be wrong. 🤔

Worse I'd imagine to be chemical weapons ala Asad.

The worst part is that the single payer system could be made to be budgetarily self sufficient.

For those curious, the other nations in the UN are voting in favor of a cease fire, such as Canada. No nations are breaking their alliances with the US over this situation.

It's wild. I literally don't understand how we make the messaging better.

Republicans: Ban abortion, make us poorer, start unnecessary conflict, pass as much transphobic legislation as possible, try to overthrow our democracy...

Democrats: Do the opposite of all of that

The mainstream media: Points this out

Moderates: "I don't listen to the lamestream media. Both parties are the same. I'm going to vote for the funny orange guy."

Take student loan forgiveness as an example. Biden stretched out the pause period multiple times, tried at least three different times to get something through, and is destroying Trump's record for at the very least giving already qualified people the loan forgiveness they deserve. Meanwhile the Republicans refused to negotiate, stonewalled, and threw public fits the whole time. The media reported on all of this, every step of the way, yet it feels like all you hear in comment sections is "Biden lied about student loan forgiveness." or "Biden didn't fight hard enough for student loan forgiveness."

Lol great job Russia. Sure succeeded at getting more US military bases on your border. 😂

For the curious, Finland recently joined NATO, so making official agreements with other NATO members is expected.

US drone strikes kill between 7% and 15% civilians. It's about 70%-80% for Israel.

Thanks for making my point!

"In response to the events at Abu Ghraib, the United States Department of Defense removed 17 soldiers and officers from duty. Eleven soldiers were charged with dereliction of duty, maltreatment, aggravated assault and battery."

Oh wild. I didn't even know the victory 1 and 2 were canon tbh. I was thinking of it from Tie Fighter.

Doesn't the victory 1 have the giant "wings" in an x shape in the side and the victory 2 doesn't?
