Wah, it's so crazy, it's almost as if whenever you promise "no war" and "Epstein files release", and then you go to war and sit on the Epstein files, you lose.

Who knew?

Nobody is trying to silence you Macklemore, throw all of the benefit concerts that you want all over the Earth.

But realize that the USA founded Israel, and a lot of Israelis are also Americans, and a lot of Americans are Israelis, and you're not entitled to use US arenas.

There are thousands of venues in the USA that you can have concerts in, don't act like you can't have a benefit concert in the USA.

Those days aren't coming to an end, if congress, the senate, and the President are all thieves, Jared is just another thief.

Investigate him, but don't even bother charging him until Trump is out of office, because he will just pardon Jared.

Wait, does centrism ever win an election?

You need their votes to win any election.

You can't even get your own voters to show up (2 million Ds sat out the last Presidential election).

You need independent votes to win anything. There aren't enough Ds or Rs (28% each). Without independent support (of which centrists are the majority, two thirds) you lose. Every time.

Math never lies. Partisans do

Democrats are only 28% of the voters (just like Republicans).

Independents are 44% of the voters (of which centrists are a significant part, over 30% alone... still a larger segment than D or R parties)

Centrism wins every election.

D and Rs are shrinking, and have for years.

(Independents are very rare on Lemmy, but not in the real world, which is the exact opposite of Lemmy)

Wrong. We just care about domestic stuff more than international stuff.

Just like your country... and every other country.

They won't, so there is no reason to trust America again. Trump's a tool, he's not the boss. He can't even clean his ass.

I don't think the world trusted America before Trump, they're not stupid.

They hope for the best, but they've all seen what we do at home and abroad. I still wince over how we have betrayed the Kurds (repeatedly, since 1920s).

On the other hand, we have been a bit better than the prior world police heavyweights (UK, Spain)

The UK is a great example of what happens when you've got zero right to free speech. God knows what we will find out about the Royals when they're finally kicked out on their ass. It will be horrifying

On the other hand, at least Prince Andrew is facing legal consequences, which is more than the USA can say about Trump.

Fuck Russel Brand, lock him up for life.

Thank you. I've decided that the wings on the TIE fighter are heat radiators, not solar panels as I previously surmised.

Thank you for your answer

Fun fact: The President is not in charge of naming gulfs, lakes, oceans, continents, islands, or even people.

They can name their own children and pets. That's it. Thank you.
