The social platform doesn’t have a political opinion. Its owner does. Every owner of every company ever has had political opinions.

Option 2: Goes back to 1. What does “messing” things up even mean? Losing everything and committing crimes? Increased punishments for the crimes.
After that we need to focus on making the cost of the punishments cheaper.
Poor countries are forced to commit more of their resources, be it monetary or human, to the war at hand.
This is not because our moral system or military doctrine is better than theirs. We don’t want to avoid human suffering in any greater capacity than them. We’re not levitating above them in any sense.
Once the aliens who overpower our militaries 10 to 1 arrive here, we will be forced to commit everything we have to that war.
And of course by “paying what they contractually owe to the alliance” qualifies for “something extra to him” if you’re asked.
Then again, we as engineers are always the annoying nerds who get stuck in the details.
Sure. The "every woman in his life" part is a stupid statement to make. It's a complete suicide for one's credibility.
The comments about him not liking immigrants from south of the border (Mexicans? South Americans? Anyone who comes in through the southern border?) are also made up. He doesn't like illegal immigrants and is very explicit about that -- who would like criminals after all. None of it has to do with ethnicity and there's no evidence you can show me to claim otherwise, since it doesn't exist.
> I've heard Trump say many, many vile things about women
Okay, although not really relevant to what I responded to. Besides, without having examples of what you're referring to, I can only say that "vile" is subjective, and saying "vile" things is different from doing vile things. We've said all kinds of "vile" things about women in our friend groups, just like the women have said "vile" things about me and my buddies in their friend groups. This is normal, and if you claim to be above all that -- cool. Find friends who align more with your values, but don't think for a second you're better than me and mine. That will be decided by our actions and accomplishments.
> Certainly, almost everything Trump has said in the context of women cannot be repeated in a professional environment.
Indefensible position, no idea why you'd choose these words. If you said "some of the things" instead of "almost everything", you might have a case. Even then, what does it matter? In professional environments, you know what you can or can't say. In other environments, it's the same.
> And this doesn't even touch on him being convicted of rape by a jury of his peers.
Word against word about an event hypothetically happening in the 90s. There was no evidence, and this is lawfare. I know you haven't read the court documents, but you could check them out.
> A bunch of nonsensical accusations without direct quotes or context to anything
You could try providing some context on what you're talking about. A barrage of mindless accusations doesn't count for much, no matter the number. It just tells me you're repeating someone else's words.
Nowadays I can force myself to learn topics that I don’t care too much about by dividing it into tasks, and “levels” that leads me to feel that I’m making progress on a classic progress bar type interface.
LLMs are pretty good for this, they help a lot with coming up with targets and such.
Large cities grow their own cultures. People become alike in some aspects, and adopt similar ideologies. There’s no guarantee those people know what’s best for some village far away. There’s also no guarantee they wouldn’t vote to raid that village and put it to the torch, with 30 million votes against 2000.
I think it’s fair that sparsely populated areas get say in nationwide topics as well. When it comes to your longing for a system “more democratic”, well, the US is a constitutional republic and the founding fathers thought about this stuff long and hard.
Oh and yeah it’s true 100% of the time, everywhere in the US. Let me state it again if you’re confused; rich people pay a higher income tax percentage than poor people.
This is a lie.
> he is pretty explicit about which kinds of immigrants he doesn't like; the ones from south of the border.
This is a lie.
We're tired of your lies. Do you not get it? When will you get it?
I’m asking rhetorical questions because I know you have a biased view on the topic. You’ve long forgotten the humanity of the other side because of the propaganda.
In reality, when Trump talks about immigrants he talks about illegal and problematic individuals. On top of that, he also talks about not immigrants a lot.
I have a simple and correct answer for that -- at conception. It's not a matter of if abortion kills a human being, it's a matter of if that's ok or not.
