Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Beth
You say that like religion is the issue and not people using it as a way to abuse power.

@SleepySteve
That’s some of them, Youtube is such a big thing. You’re free to watch five or more people have different opinions about the same subject, in the bible every holy figure is above questioning by threat of torture.

Religion is obviously designed for subjugation and power. It convinces you there is an all powerful man that watches your every move, and he has a list of commandments, yet you never see him, he never talks to you. God is all powerful, but he always requires money, he’s either a grifter or incompetent.

Can someone explain why Andrew Tate is so popular? He’s not intelligent, his showing on Hassans stream was embarrassing, and his so called “Hustlers University” is just a MLM for dudes.

@YourPalContrail
Tapping into deep-seated misogyny in the guys who simp for him.

@YourPalContrail
And the fact he’s also a domestic abuser rapist and also allegedly involved n human trafficking

It’s becuase he’s a buff rich white dude who carters to and exploits specifically young and vulnerable white males who hope that they can become as “alpha” as him one day if they follow his program.

@Beth
Sounds like you have beef with the Catholic church (or one emulating that part of it) and assume every single religion on Earth is the exact same way.

Biden’s the worst.

@Luca H.
No he’s not. The last guy was very bad that drains any emotion that we have towards Biden.

@igotnopicks
Oh…I thought you guys would like me if I rooted for the opposite president, which a lot of people seem to be doing. Mom and I voted for Biden btw.

@Luca H.
Says guy who didn’t live through the Reagan and Bush(es) presidencies.

@Luca H.
If you want to talk about politics who is your senator right now.

@igotnopicks
I…don’t know.

seems legit, I think when you are terminally online you can develop some fringes tendencies like what Andrew spouts. Doesn’t surprise me that’s the audience he targets.

@Background Pony #1F81
It’s so obviously an MLM. Do the people who pay for it just not care about pyramid scams or are they just coping so hard they don’t think it is?

@Luca H.
What state are you in? Every state has two.

@igotnopicks
I’m not sure I should be giving that personal info out.

@Luca H.
It’s not personal info.

I lived in California which had Fienstien(She’s too damn old) and Alex Padilla.

Now I live in Arizona which is more purple than usual now but has two democrats in the senate.

Josh Hawley and Roy Blunt. joy.

Cause didn’t Josh Hawley show solidarity for those rioters?

@igotnopicks
I’m from Georgia. We have two Dem senators, both elected in the same election, and may stay that way considering the GOP nominated a CTE patient.

@igotnopicks
If I say my state, you guys won’t try to hunt me down?

@YourPalContrail
And then he ran through the Capitol hall like a bitch who shit his pants.

@SleepySteve
I want to be optimistic, but when voters got a choice to primary MTG, her district voted to keep her in the running. At least Rev. Warnock’s numbers are improving. Honestly, the debate should happen anyway just to show how ill-suited Walker is, just like Perdue showed how unfit he was by not showing up.

@Luca H.
We don’t do that here. We’re not the far-right who tries intimidating electoral challengers or incumbents. Your choice to tell or withhold, either way.

I mean, telling what state you live in is hardly giving out personal information. That’s way too vague for anything to matter.

Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea though. 1st Rule of the internet is to never give out personal information no matter how vague.

@Luca H.
Why would we? You also don’t need to be in this thread if telling people the state you live in makes you uncomfortable.

@Meanlucario
I dunno, I just thought you would all like me if I became like those nutjobs who keep insisting that Trump be re-elected (there’s a truck that drives around town every day with a “dixie” horn and large “TRUMP 2024” flags billowing in the wind).

Nobody can track you down just because you say which state you live in.

But again, if you’re not comfortable sharing that information (which I repeat, is understandable) then don’t. As always it’s honestly better the less information you divulge about yourself online.

@Vivace
MTG was likely going to be congresswoman, Trump or not, because she ran in the most conservative, rural district in the state. And Dems blew any chance of challenging her in 2020 by nominating a sex predator that was forced to withdraw, all but allowing her to run unopposed.

(The funny thing is she has barely anything in common with the people in her district; she’s suburban-born and raised and very wealthy)

That said, she really isn’t as popular in her district as one would think.
