No, because you have something called a CONSTITUTION.

Undocumented immigrants pay up to $100 billion in taxes each year,
so they should get something back for their money.

Explain the process of why that is happening.

When the economy goes down the drain, the oil and gas prices go down too.
That's because when production decreases, demand for energy decreases.
Lower demand means lower prices.
Remember the Covid crisis, when the price of oil was below $0,-?

There is way less tourism in the US. I told you before, but you said you didn't care. Foreigners don't want to come to a country where fascism is on the rise. Old people are less able to travel, because their social security isn't keeping up with their costs.

Obama was busy restoring the economy that Bush destroyed.
He couldn't fix everything.

Wasn't your case denied by a judge? Who appointed that judge?
Just because this happened to you under Obama, doesn't mean it was his fault.
I don't blame Trump for anything just happening under Trump either.
There should be a logical connection.
(Like with Bush causing the financial crisis, by completely deregulating the finance industry, resulting in a house of cards of derivative products designed to scam people. It completely fell apart, causing the 2008 crash. The smart people saw it coming years ahead. Bush's deregulation was designed to let the wealthy exploit the working class, and it did, even when it crashed.)

When Democrats are allowed to run for more than one or two presidencies, they could actually start improving the system and provide Americans with benefits they never had, like an effective system of disability benefits. The problem is that every time they have organized something, Americans vote for Republicans again, who destroy it all again. That's why the country with one of the highest GDPs in the world feels like living in the poorer parts of Europe for most people.

No one who has your health issues is denied disability benefits in my country.
And that was not the right-wing parties who implemented that.

Well, it was a harder life than right-wingers in a blue area think they have.
Oops, spoiler.

Enough to react to it.

It was never a war, it has just been an exchange of terrorist acts.
It didn't begin on Oct 7th 2023, it has been going on since 1947.

The world shouldn't have given the victims of a genocide a state
that required a genocide of the people who already lived there.

That was a mistake. When you make a mistake, you correct it,
you don't continue making more, to continue on the wrong path.
We should make Israel a secular state, with Jews and Muslims living together.
The religions should be limited to their homes and houses of worship.
That's the only way towards peace for them and the rest of the world.

"freebies for illegals and such" Shows you don't have a clue.

Republicans shovel money into their own pockets and the pockets of the wealthy.
Democrats want funding for Medicaid (for low-income, disabled, elderly), subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), public health programs, Food assistance, unemployment insurance, ensure government agencies are staffed sufficiently, public media funding as a source of independent journalism and cultural programming, Development assistance, health programs abroad, diplomacy, global initiatives, infrastructure, scientific research, environmental protection, education, preventing ACA premiums from rising and to keep coverage affordable, and keep debt interest discretionary.

Trump cutting all those expenses will not reduce the deficit or reduce
the tax-burden on the average American, it's just intended for more FREEBIES for billionaires.

You just said: "I can't get a small monthly check that was SUPPOSED to be there for me from the government after doing my part.", but then you support Trump taking away your chance of ever getting anything like that.
Democrats want that for you, Republicans just want you to be dead.

You're more Anti-American than I am.

Here is how I estimate the chances for Gaza:
25% chance that Netanyahu says that Palestinians don't want a deal, genocide continues.
60% chance of the genocide continuing, within 6 months, Netanyahu finds a reason.
10% chance of Palestinians living without freedom, like before Oct 7th 2023.
5% chance of an actual future for Palestinians.

"liberals... fuck everything and so forth"
That's every Republican president, for decades.
They all leave your country in a fucking mess.
Then Democrats get voted in, to fix that mess again.
And when they don't do that quickly enough, stupid Americans vote MAGA.
Now your country is turning to shit, quicker than ever before.

Democrats should just say: "Fuck you, we don't fix your shit anymore!".
OR IF they decide to give it another try, it should should be FULL SOCIALISM,
because anything else will not fix the US quickly enough, for stupid Americans.

You DON'T HAVE these social systems that I'm talking about, in the US.
Food stamps are bullshit. The state should pay you enough money to live on.

Of course it starts with regulation that prevents accidents like you had,
and good healthcare, so much less people NEED those social systems.

Your government failed you, because it has been too right-wing for decades.
Why does it make sense to you, to make it the most right-wing ever?

Blue light is an issue. People are losing sleep because of it.
That's mainly caused by their smart-phone keeping them awake at night.

During the day, it's more healthy to have light with lots of blue in it.
People who sit in an office all day, like me, get too little daylight.
That can cause unhealthy sleep rhythm issues too.
The best solution is to have bright light with lots of blue during the day and less light without blue and lots of red in the evening. Incandescent lamps couldn't give us that, but LED has the potential to provide it. It's available right now, but it would be very expensive to have it throughout the house.

True, it's a risk to be on painkillers long-term.
Many Americans are, because treating the cause of their pain is expensive.
That's not Trump's fault, but he is making it WORSE.

RFK Jr. and Trump are now saying Tylenol is causing autism.

YouTube didn't break any laws, they only blocked content that violated their TOS.

YouTube Community Guidelines / Policies

'Child safety' is part of their Guidelines. If they are showing kids hurting themselves,
that's a good reason to flag the video. I do that sometimes.

Free speech is not a right to say whatever you want, especially not on platforms owned by private companies. Freedom of speech is primarily the right to criticize the government. That's what Trump is cracking down on.
He's now assigning the term 'violent conduct' to speech he refers to as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity. That is a clear violation of the second amendment.
If you agree with it, you're stupid, because this can easily come back to bite you.
Those terms can easily be interpreted as what you do, when the Democrats are in power again. Don't think I will show any sympathy, if you are harmed by your own crack-down
on free speech.

Anti-Americanism: You shit on The Constitution all the time.
Anti-capitalism: Tariffs are Anti-capitalist.
Anti-Christianity: Jesus loved the poor and the sick and hated hypocrites.
You will be so fucked when Democrats start using the precedent Trump is setting.

Trump himself was banned for inciting violence, towards groups of people and towards specific people. That's not just illegal speech, but it most definitely violated YouTube's Community Guidelines / Policies. Trump received at least one strike when YouTube removed content for incitement and temporarily suspended uploads.

YouTube would have surely won the case against them, but they are afraid of him
abusing his power against them even more, so they bow down. Those millions of dollars are therefore a clear bribe.

When will you ever learn to understand your own law?

Tariffs are taxes on spending, which are mostly hurting the poor and middle class,
while Trump has cut taxes for the wealthy. It makes everything more expensive.
It's the opposite of what people like you gave as a reason to vote for Trump.

"when we ship to OTHER third world Countries"

Why don't you give me a list of the tariffs that other countries had on the US,
before Trump's trade war? Show that you can do some internet searches too.

Yes, they are causing damage. Find something good that they caused.

FOUR mass shootings in 24 hours.

I have not seen any right-wing outrage.
Just acceptable side effects of the 2nd amendment, I guess.

In just my living room, I have 7 LED-bulbs from our DIY store GAMMA. They are warm white, 4W, 470LM, only $3.16 and live on for many years. A few years ago, I replaced 4, because one broke after at least 8 years, and the color and brightness of the new one was a bit different. The other lamp still uses the three that I exchanged after the first batch of CFL bulbs broke. Those were crap, but LED is perfectly fine now.
Even the dimmers work perfectly. The only non-LED light-source I still have is in the shed, which is a CFL tube.

In the kitchen, we have a light fixture that required at least a 100W incandescent light bulb. I had lots of problems to replace that one, but now I use 20W LED grow lights for greenhouses from AliExpress, which cost less than a dollar per piece. The first few lasted about a year, but they are getting better. The current one is 2 years old now. It just requires a bit of soldering and screwing in place. That light is on for several hours per day. That's over $60 per year, cut to a 5th.

In the bathroom I had a fixture with 2 50W halogen bulbs. I replaced that one with a 8W LED module. It's now over 12 years old. No ugly blue light, but exactly what I wanted
in the bathroom.

You're still using those old blue LEDs?
What a third world country you live in.
We have LEDs in every natural color possible now.

Thomas Edison would love how innovation obsoleted his invention.
He would love how it lasted for more than 100 years too.
That's what scientists LIVE for. Progress!

I AM talking about representation, REAL representation.
People who are involved in the process, talk with each other about the problems they are facing, understand the causes, and think of solutions.

"the average Susy or Johny come lately that works at walmart"
Yes, them too. When they are involved, they can understand more than you think.

Are they not allowed to vote in your country?
You think they are too dumb to be involved in power, but you don't think
that they are too dumb to VOTE? How do those dumb people understand
who represents them then?
How are they not just voting for the most effective LIARS?

I want them to be INVOLVED, so they won't make the ignorant choices
that they are making now.

They are NOT voting for representatives who work for them.
They are voting for LIARS, who are screwing them.

Do you think that the Republicans and Democrats are actually representing
the "average Susy or Johnny come lately"? OMG!

"So then a person is sick, they would go to a dr and get medicine or a treatment for it and pay for it and go home."

That's showing that you have a problematic idea about 'normal' disease too.
When people have diabetes or heart disease, I expect more than to "go to a dr and get medicine or a treatment for it and pay for it and go home". That's just exploiting people's health for the greed of 'Big Pharma'. People get disease for a reason. Their bodies are damaged from the unhealthy life that capitalism has created.

The profit incentive for making people ADDICTED to unhealthy food is causing disease and harm to society. Addiction? Yes, sweet, salty, fatty food HACK our brain. Our brain has evolved to want sugars, salt and fat, because it used to be very difficult to find in nature, when were dependent on it for our survival.
There is no food that you can catch or pluck in nature, that contains the combination of sugars, salt and fat. When we eat it, our brain send the signal: "YES, we found the best source of food EVER!". That IS a dopamine rush,
which is the basis for most addictions.
The problem is that the worst factory foods contain the most sugars, salt and fat. Then you eat much more of sugars, salt and fat than the body can handle.
They also put in the most unhealthy versions of sugars (saccharin, not fructose)
and fats (trans-fats and oxidized fats). Lots of things that hurt the body and
almost nothing, like vitamins and minerals, that the body needs to stay healthy.

Doctors should not just subscribe medicine or a treatment, they should help patients eliminate or reduce the root cause of the disease, which is addiction
to unhealthy food.

STILL, that isn't the full problem, because capitalism has also made heavily processed factory garbage, which they sell as food, CHEAPER than unprocessed REAL food. The result is that poor people can only afford to eat garbage.

Many American children have breakfast and lunch in school. However, the budget, and therefore the infrastructure, is not adequate to feed them fresh healthy food. That results in the kids eating mostly heavily processed factory garbage. If there are some healthy food options, the kids don't eat them, because they are addicted too. If adults are unable to kick the addiction, do you expect children to?
Children are our future, but they have (the first signs of) disease before they even leave school. When PepsiCo and Kraft Heinz are sponsoring kid's meals, they don't do it to make kids healthier, they do it to sell more of their unhealthy products.

Then why did you ask me "how many homeless people do you personally help?"
Why it is MY responsibility, when I didn't cause their suffering?

I don't like charity, because it sucks as a solution.
It's just fighting the symptoms of the disease, a bit.

Why do you even think that lefties and socialists are about generosity?
I also don't think that you are all about selfishness.
If you were rationally selfish, you would support socialism,
because then you would have good healthcare and better living standards.
Propaganda just made you support the selfishness of the wealthy.
You're sort of being generous, just for people who don't need or deserve it.

You don't HAVE to care about people to be a socialist. It helps, but it's not necessary. We ALL have to LIVE in society, and that society is better when we don't allow a minority to exploit the rest. The 'rest', the 99%, is you and me (you MORE than me).
Some of us will probably immediately stop being a socialist, if they end up with
a big fortune. As long as you're not part of the wealthy, who exploit the rest,
and make life objectively horrible for lots of people, it's just RATIONAL.
We see a problem, we understand the damage that is causes, we understand
the CAUSE, and we want to convince people to support the SOLUTION.

Those people got destroyed by the system, so I want the system to help them.
The system is not MY responsibility either, but I live under it and I think it's doing
a piss poor job for many people, so I choose to be politically active.

OK, so a liberal funding projects with money is "interfering with your political process's"
and a "Dark MAGA" offering $100 for people in swing states to sign a petition, which requires to be registered, and handing out prizes to only MAGA voters, is not.

- Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America
- Turning Point USA
- MAGA Inc. (supports Trump & GOP candidates)

- Senate Leadership Fund (supports Senate Republicans)
- Club for Growth Action (anti-tax, pro-market GOP candidates)
- Cato Institute (libertarian, Koch-backed)
- Hoover Institution

- NRA Institute for Legislative Action (gun rights)
- Federalist Society (judicial nominations, law)

Not the same, just agreeing to some of the same principles.
Humanity needs it, or it destroys itself.

I don't like a "central government" at all.
Socialists want PEOPLE in power, not the government and definitely not
a CENTRAL government.

My Socialist Party is the most grass roots party IN THE WORLD.
The members have power from the bottom up. There are people in the top of the organization, but they all exist in their position at the behest of the members. There isn't someone like Chuck Schumer, who has a 17% approval rating,
in my party. He would have been voted out long ago.

That's a decentralized structure for just our party, but we support that structure for every organization outside our party too.

After we have discussed so much, just still don't understand even the smallest bit about my/our principles and goals. That's really sad.

This is our international page. Where do we say we want a centralized government?

No, I don't. But I think they deserve more than nothing.

Tylenol is just the brand name for acetaminophen.
It has been used many billions of times by now, all over the world.
That means that the medical and science institutes know the risks of it very well.

It is not associated with more harmful side effects than naproxen (Aleve), ibuprofen
or "even" acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin). In fact, from that list, Aspirin is the most risky.

The safest for short-term use is ibuprofen (at the lowest effective dose) and Tylenol is the safest of the three, long-term. Only extremely high doses can damage the liver.
All three drugs can damage the stomach, which is why it's always best to combine them with drugs that protect the stomach lining, like Omeprazole (Prilosec or Losec).

What personal preferences people might have, is not necessarily based on evidence.

My mother has been a pharmacy assistant for decades.
Would you accept her as some 'authority' on painkillers?
We have created institutes to research and inform the public about the risks
vs the benefits of drugs, so we don't have to trust the opinions of random people.
The people who love us want the best for us, but that doesn't mean they are correct
on everything. Where did your father get that information? Did he take all those drugs until they did damage to him at different rates, did he trust someone else who told him, did he trust some conspiracy theories, or did he trust science from institutes?
If you just trust him, YOU don't even know the original source, while he did.

Trump and RFK Jr. are breaking down those institutes, because they want you to trust their personal opinions, which are based on conspiracy theories for political and religious agenda's, rather than science and the public benefit.
That is dangerous and it WILL cause the death of many MORE people.
I say 'MORE', because the ignorance they support and the distrust it creates
has already caused the deaths of millions of people.

That's you thinking that LUCK entitles people to something. Correct?

He didn't work for it, but you are willing to work for him, while he is not sharing
the resource that he did NOT work for himself. He just acquired it by LUCK.

What 'value' is behind that idea?

When I say 'you', I'm referring to the same 'you', as when you are saying "that 'you' cannot help people in other countries, as long as 'you' still have homeless people.". That's you saying that 'you' don't have enough money to feed the hungry and house
the homeless. Is that 'you personally', that I'm asking that from?

People who are let down by the system, should not be dependent on charity.

I pay around $30 per month in charities. Only a tiny percentage of that goes to
the homeless. Homelessness is not a problem that is created by lack of charity, homelessness is created by right-wing policies. When they 'market' housing,
the market will maximize profit for the wealthy who control it. They turn homes
into a scarce resource to blow up the price, making housing unaffordable for
lots of people. Voila; homelessness.

I direct my government to the homeless. My party's highest priority is building a million affordable homes, and reducing the rent and house prices of all homes.

Before you start about affordable homes again. They are not tax-funded homes, they are publicly owned homes, that take out the exploitation from the wealthy.
They are also not crappy homes. They are safe, comfortable, well-insulated houses,
that suit the needs of the people living it them.
The only difference is that they are not owned by slumlords or private equity, who exploit the tenants, and let the houses deteriorate, to fill the pockets of the owners.

Everyone should be able to afford a home, no matter if they are working, on welfare,
on disability, or on social security.
For people who fuck up their lives themselves, there should be shelters for 100% of them.
And they should get help to put their life back in order.
That shouldn't be funded by charity, but by taxes.

The people who have told you that civilization should solve it's problems with charity,
are the wealthy people who don't want to pay taxes, and make you resent taxes,
with the propaganda they are funding.

He is everything you people have fear-mongered about FOR DECADES.

Find me any statistical evidence like that, for the 2020 election.
That's what they hired the Cyber Ninjas for, and they said there was no evidence.

If there is actually a 'conspiracy' to steal the vote,
everyone involved should go to jail.

If you think that people will elect JD Vance then, you are crazy.

He SAID he had evidence, but he never showed it, because it was a LIE.
Trump's claims were based on that lie and you believe(d) that.

It's showing a 7% difference. In a country that is divided like yours, that's unacceptable. The odds are already stacked in favor of the red states with
the electoral collage, them doing more gerrymandering, purging voter rolls,
shutting down polling places and having Elon literally buy registrations and
give prizes to only MAGA voters. At what point are you still supporting the idea
that democracy is about the vote of the majority?

Can evidence make you believe otherwise?

Always depends how he got it. Did he steal it or did he work hard.
Funny how you assumed he did any work for it at all.
Maybe he just found a big crate full of food and doesn't want to share it.
You would probably kill him yourself, if you were in that situation.
