That is true. While the proclaimed rights and values held true, America has failed to uphold those values from the very beginning.

However, there have also been people from the very beginning who have fought for those values. Columbus was seen as savage by his fellows, slavery has never had unanimously accepted, indigenous people weren’t seen as pests to all.

Even the land owning part was contentious, which is why they left it up to the states to determine.

A couple days ago, new evidence came out about Trump’s pedophilia. I have yet to hear about it in mainstream media.

Jane Doe vs Trump & Epstein. All of the corroborating depositions are out there. Nobody cares for some reason.

Struggling to articulate is very different from bad speeches. He has never sounded like he did at the debate. It was him at his worst, ever. Probably because he had a cold and tried remembering every single data point that supported his successful presidency.

What’s scary to me is that a sizable portion of people don’t care.

Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness

Go read the preamble to the constitution. It’s quite different from what the “We the people…” 1776 people think it says. It’s basically what the right would call socialism, taking care of one another when possible.

The first amendment protects the separation of church and state, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly.

The second amendment protects your right to form a militia if none exist. Which always reminds me of the Black Panthers protecting black voters while armed.

There’s a lot of technical amendments too. But what really gives me American pride is all of those who have continued to push for those rights to be upheld.

I fucking love being American. I hold American ideals in high regard.

I hate that people who hate freedom and equality claim to love America and freedom in general. I live in a red state, so I see traitorous flags everywhere I go. But American values hold true.

Pride month in general fills me with a lot of American pride. Regardless of how many antagonistic people there are, those who continue the fight for rights show the true American spirit.

I remember when gay marriage was illegal, which always felt like it was unconstitutional and anti-American. So seeing people celebrate those rights and continue to fight for rights that are withheld, that is America to me.

Anyone else is a popular choice. Everyone loves anyone else. That is, until you name anyone else.

This is just new evidence to support what has already been known. I would be surprised if this made the news considering it never made the news before.

Yes, Trump is a rapist and a pedophile and not just an acquaintance of Epstein.

That is exactly what I’ve thought about during his time there. So many disasters brought on by light regulation. The response has been far better than you would normally get. Unfortunately I think bureaucracy gets in the way a lot.

The response from the public should be MORE Democratic support and stronger regulations. But unfortunately usually the response is “not enough is done” and give less support with zero regard to how that will impact policy.

And I’m not advocating for him. I’m literally just trying to think of who could possibly win over enough moderates to beat Trump in swing states.

I’d take these people over Trump in a heartbeat. No question. But if we’re not going to get behind one of them right now, then we all need to start supporting Biden. And it sounds like that’s what we’re going to need to do.

Unless everybody gets behind Pete Buttigieg right fucking now, then there isn’t another choice but to go with Biden.

And I don’t say that as someone who loves Pete, but he’s the only person with name recognition, resume, and any kind of uniform positive feelings between progressives, moderates, and centrists to win.

Either that or pick Joe Manchin, say fuck off to climate change initiatives for the next 8 years, and go hard after centrists in swing states.

I can’t think of anyone else that would stand a chance from a strategy perspective.

The fact that anyone (let alone half the country) would pick a literal traitor who failed in every way possible as president over a guy that had a bad interview while sick, with a B+ resume is ridiculous. Just a week ago the right was accusing him of doing drugs because of how well his State of the Union went. We avoided a recession and we’re recouping from the pandemic better than any other country.

Hell, just look at the debate itself. Biden memorized 90 minutes (or 45 minutes) worth of facts and used them to back up every claim he had while Trump literally lied the entire time and took credit for everything Biden (or Obama) did.

Between all that and literally being the only thing that kept the Republicans from throwing the US into default with clever negotiations (seriously, the dude fucking manipulated McCarthy so bad he lost his job), the only thing crazy is that people pay so little attention to politics over the last 8 years that all they know is that he sounded weak during a debate.

I’ve seen USSC used like one other time and it was weird. It makes me think of USMC.

Both candidates lose to a generic 3rd candidate. That was true even before the debate. The problem is finding a generic 3rd candidate that people agree on.

Truth is, the only person I can think of with enough name recognition that might bring enough support from progressives, moderates, and centrists this late is maybe Pete Buttigieg. But I wouldn’t bet on it. Biden needs to use every moment from here until November to get in front of people to show that the debate was an outlier.

What I hate about the merged plans (Gold vs GamePass) is that they don’t always specify which level. Core or Console/Ultimate?

He’s always had it. But it was probably easier to manage it when he was younger.

Also, allegedly had a cold and probably got flustered after the first time he tripped on his words. And inexplicably kept trying to recite various metrics from memory.

Is it fair to mention Undertale? It’s kind of an anti-RPG.

Weird, my conscience is to vote against the corrupt, fascist, rapist with a grudge against America. After dealing with Trump’s presidency and the aftermath, I can’t even imagine not voting for Biden. And I’m in a red state, so my vote definitely doesn’t matter.
