Unfortunately he doesn’t care and will do what he wants while others file court cases. By the time he loses he’ll have gutted it all and installed cronies. He is lawless and is going to do whatever he wants with no regard for law or decorum. This is a hostile takeover of America!

Mark, college isn’t for everybody. If colleges were held accountable to reimburse students who don’t earn within 20% of the avg salary for their degree after 5 years I’d bet they’d ensure students who go are capable and they’d stop offering art degrees.

If Trumps lips are moving he is lying. He won’t do any of those things…. Ever

It’s not pressure. The Waltons support the R’s and only did these things because they had to. Now they can go back to how they want to be.

So we know prices will go up, but in what reality has it been determined that US made products are better? Now we'll pay more for the products we want and if price is an issue, may need to buy an inferior US made product. I have a great idea, educate and upskill Americans to do higher level work!

So we keep going eye 4 eye forever, therefore keeping the wars going forever. This is a both sides are wrong argument. You killed my family first, so I kill yours. You killed my family so I will avenge them. When does it stop? How does it stop? At some point someone has to stop. I’m open to ideas

I would be angry and want revenge at first. But that anger isn’t bringing her back. I would not have peace. To heal I’d have to forgive in my heart and take action to find away to prevent other senseless deaths. It’s horrific in every way with no easy answer or it’d be done.

I am aware. And notice I’m not name calling. I’m giving my opinion like you are. I didn’t say it was right or that I agree. I do think every life matters. I do think we need to take better care of all people. War is wrong, but being angry and yelling won’t stop it. Govt change won’t stop it either.

You’re right, every 4 years that’s the choice. You or I may get lucky and the perfect candidate for one of us is a choice, but I guarantee it won’t be for most.
I encourage you and anyone else who wants better choices to start local & back good people to help them grow. Invest in your beliefs!

Sending weapons provides jobs and income to US manufacturing, that’s why we export anything. War is a govt tool to acquire resources or markets for our corps goods and services. By protecting Israel we keep them aligned with us to consume our products and sell us theirs. No matter who’s in charge.

But what if you’re wrong, what if it enabled peace. You may have to reframe your argument, but what’s happening isn’t working. Maybe a different approach would work. Just my thought.

You really don’t know who Trump is, do you? He wins and Israel gets more money so it will be worse for the Palestinians

Okay, so we stop defending Israel and the 17 Arab nations that talk of river to the sea perform a genocide on the Jewish state… that’s acceptable? If the 17 Arab nations recognize Israel and stop teaching to kill all Jews how much war would there be? Push for Arab states to denounce war with Israel

You are 100% correct. The wasps of Europe wanted the Jews out, so they didn’t care about the POC who lived there and supported their founding Israel. Now what? Push them into the ocean? Kill them all? Should all non-native people leave all countries? There can be peace if Arab countries want it

How did you feel when suicide bombers were killing civilians in Israeli cities? Was that justified? It is a complex issue and I can see both sides. Since you’re black and white, why doesn’t Hamas lay down arms and surrender, then no one has to be killed, right? But then no revenge, which is the same

Here’s the point, since you have to win states regardless of the most votes, it IS important to vote in numbers too big to argue. Repudiate the MAGA agenda and put them back on the fringe. Not tacking an action is actually taking an action.

Then what’s your solution? All revelation has ever lead to is a new group of people who do the exact same thing…

Read his Project 2025 manifesto

Well, that’s a complex question. If the candidate not currently dropping bombs on my family was going to be one who put me in a detention camp or deported me cause of my skin color, I’d have a lot to decide between.

Using that logic, so is every politician, so why vote?

Unfortunately this election that viewpoint has a much worse outcome. If you don’t vote Harris you are in effect voting for Trump, who if elected, will do you way more harm. This is a classic don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. Vote Harris & get involved with candidates who support your views
