Iran is far better equipped to repel an invasion than Cuba.

Cuba doesn’t have the people, infrastructure, preparation time, mountains, electricity, productive capacity, or weapons that Iran does.

Assuming the US would fail in trying to take Cuba is a bad assumption.

China is the world’s factory. They produce the goods consumed by every other country on these charts.

The question becomes: given a country’s usage of fossil fuels, what do they have to show for it? Western nations burn coal to run LLMs; China is burning coal to build eliminate poverty and produce 30% of the entire world’s goods.

Also keep in mind, energy usage has a history. Its not fair to take a snapshot of 2026’s energy splits and condemn China, given how western nations just spent the last 200 years destroying the planet.

Ok cracker.

Are you allowed to start dropping N bombs if you meet a MAGA person of color?

Are you allowed to be ableist if you meet a wheelchair-bound MAGA?

So, you’ve got zero problem with Trump voters on moral grounds, correct?

How could one possibly twist themselves into believing that a political act can somehow exist outside the realm of ethics and morality? Politics is ethics. Ethics are political. Why are you you trying to decouple these? Oh wait… its because yall will do whatever mental gymnastics are needed to justify voting for a genocidal, former cop.

Two things can be bad.

But I don’t have to hear Harris’ laugh though

What does this mean? Who is this critiquing?

Two things can be bad.

Two things can be bad.

Two things can be bad.

HUGE bat you got there.

Two things can be bad.

We have a phrase for this in the dumbass motorcyclist community:

“Saw some danger ahead, had to lay er down :/”

In short:

“Haddalayerdown”

Some 30% of Burkinabés are Christian or Catholic. It could be argued that homophobia in Burkina Faso is a result of western colonialism via mission trips and schools.

NSFL tag please

Are you phrasing this as an indictment of american politics and culture, or as a lesson dems should learn from going forward?

Nor is there any evidence that her laugh caused her defeat.

The point is that the liberal has to choose: did the “moral high ground” leftists cost her the election, and thus have the power to sway elections - or did the leftists NOT have the power to sway the election, and thus liberals should be quite about the “moral high ground” leftists?

Edit: and your point is also dubious. It’s known that Kamala’s refusal to break from Biden’s policies was a huge part of what cost her the election - bad enough that the DNC was recently in the news for hiding the Kamala campaign autopsy.

RootsAction, a progressive advocacy group that conducted its own analysis of Democrats’ 2024 loss, said in a statement that the DNC’s refusal to publicize its findings “undermines the goal of defeating Trumpism.” RootsAction’s autopsy, authored by journalist Christopher D. Cook, found “ample evidence that Harris lost many voters, especially young voters, Arab-Americans, and critical support in Michigan and elsewhere, due to the campaign’s failure to shift or even signal a potential shift in policy on Israel and Palestine.”

Hard agree. Taking a step back and having the revelation that your electoralism means definitive genocide no matter who’s in power should not be a reason to dig in and defend your electoralism. It should be reason to tear everything down.

Otherwise, youre taking the stance that Palestinians have a duty to allow themselves genocided to buy yourself time for more political waffling.

Kamala was offered a choice between funding a genocide and preventing [whatever scary thing is in the headline]. She chose genocide, and she lost.

Leftists cost her the election and you’ll damn right we’ll do it again - unless you answer to our simple demands of ensuring the dem candidate is not an unabashed genocider.

SpaceX is a good company

How you figure? I suppose it’s “good” if youre one of the types who enjoys seeing space travel privatized, extremely high stress and turnover, environmental hazards, toxic waste dumps, water pollution, and trillionaires.
