I’d like to say that, as a Matt, this guy does not represent us.

See, as someone who lives in NYC, you have a reason to care about that race.
Doesn’t explain why the rest of the site is so obsessed…

But I was told by some Very Serious Streamers that he wouldn’t do that! That his isolationist mindset was explicitly better than Genocide Harris!
You’re telling me that those people were…wrong?

It really does, because Obama has one and he’s built his entire identity on being “better than” Obama.

Hell , the entire history of the country until that point had been a protracted effort to appease the slaver class and it still wasn’t good enough for the slavers!

You know that the Confederacy invaded Kentucky (a neutral border state) and the New Mexico Territory in 1861, right? They went on the offensive as soon as the war began.

"-Occupy/supply Fort Sumter"
So Lincoln provoked the war by not surrendering Federal property to an armed insurrection?
This is quite literally Lost Cause propaganda.
You also didn't answer the point about Hitler, but at this point you don't need to. Your answer is clear.

Confederate leaders made no secret of their intention to invade Mexico and the Caribbean to expand their slave economies. They were not going to stop except by force.

You mistake acknowledging that war is sometimes necessary and unavoidable with being "pro-war." The South wanted the war. The South started the war. If the North had allowed the Union to dissolve, the South would have continued and expanded the institution of slavery.

This argument doesn't apply to the Civil War where, again, the Confederacy had already started hostilities.

The war was already underway. Refusing to fight back once war is underway is called capitulation.
By your logic the Allies should have let Hitler do as he wished because he started the fighting.

So not only were they prepared to go to war to maintain slavery, they also had no interest in softening their image for international audiences, even if the audience was the country they needed to join their side.

Because the message the South was sending to Britain--at the start of the war, remember--was that slavery was foundational to the Confederacy. If Britain wanted Southern cotton for its textile mills, they'd have to accept Southern slavery.

You do not know basic facts about the conflict, and your attempts to arrive at the Lost Cause myth, But From the Left would be insulting even if it wasn’t Juneteenth.
The only conclusion I can make is that you get off on being humiliated on the internet.

That’s not who I’m referring to, you absolute dunce.
James Mason, the *Confederate* envoy to Britain, was a vocal advocate for restarting the Atlantic Slave Trade. Selecting him was a message to the Brits that slavery was core to the Confederate cause.

The first guy they chose to be their ambassador to Britain was loudly and explicitly in favor of restoring the African Slave Trade in order to have enough slaves for all the new slave states they wanted!

It was a roll of the dice every time you logged in if you would be allowed to play the game you purchased.
Rockstar *knew* about it, too, but they just didn’t care about RDO.

That still somehow sounds better than the experience of Red Dead Online on PC. For some reason it was extremely easy to hack, and gave griefers access to console commands. Log in and get on the wrong server? You are now constantly spawning dynamite at your feet and dying.

“KAMALA HASN’T EARNED MY VOTE.”
How about all those trans kids who are about to lose decades of hard-won rights? Did they also fail to “earn your vote”?
Voting wasn’t something you owed Kamala Harris. It was something you owed all the people Trump was going to hurt. You fucking dilettante.

Maybe not NK. They’re still smarting over their abject failure to launch their new warship they got from Russia:

Would not be the least bit surprised if those guys only got there the night before because DOD logistics under Whiskey Pete are a shitshow.
