Corporations are neither evil nor nice. They are indifferent. By design they only care about money, they don’t care about anything else.

Gerrymandering is an effective way to get more votes. Any political party would try to do it.

Really, what we need is a system where gerrymandering is impossible.

Not everyone who has some conservative opinions wants to oppress people and vote for far-right politicians.

Freedom of speech means you can’t be arrested for what you say. Any policies that ban certain types of speech are very clearly unconstitutional.

We’re free to openly be as big of a piece of shit as we like with no consequences. If you use your freedom of speech to call us out, or use your freedom of association to kick us off your property you’re oppressing us

Using freedom of speech to defend your opinion is literally saying “my opinion is valid because it’s not illegal”.

The fetus is a parasitic clump of cells until it comes- out of the womb

An embryo is a clump of cells. A fetus is an incomplete human body.

The fetus does not have the right to be born as it is a clump of parasitic cells, not a person.

Almost everyone agrees that sperm or unfertilized eggs don’t have rights, but they do agree that a newborn baby has rights. At exactly what moment does it switch?

the government cannot force you to donate blood, even if it would kill someone else

There’s a difference between mandating and banning a medical procedure. (Birth is different, that will happen without any intervention).

can sometimes kill her?

If the mothers life is in danger, then an abortion makes sense.

This is not an easy ethical question with a right and wrong answer. Just because you feel strongly about your answer, doesn’t mean it is correct.

This is exactly the same thing as cash. If you buy a major currency, like usd, euro, bitcoin, ethereum, etc, then it will be much more stable than some random currency. Would you trust a cash currency that was created by some random dude in an alleyway?

Cryptocurrency is basically like digital cash. No one can control how you spend it, or take it away. But you can’t undo transactions without tracking down the recipient, and getting them to give it back. If you don’t trust anyone, cash and crypto are the only real ways to pay for stuff.

The us has 3 energy grids: east coast, west coast, and texas. As long as don’t live in Texas, you shouldn’t have issues with electricity.

We know how GOP voters weigh the bigotry that comes with voting for its reps. That’s all we need to know. The truth is literally laid bare.

Bigotry is a 2 way street. Candidates from both sides are clearly bigoted at each other. I try to vote for candidates who’s beliefs match with mine, but sometimes that’s hard. Everyone deserves to be respected, even if you don’t agree with them. But so much politics has just turned into calling names.

That’s a nice thought. I see you still haven’t run out of benefit of the doubt to give.

I think the issues are systemic, not individual. It doesn’t make sense that so many people would be evil. Look at the Milgram experiment. It shows that the average person will literally commit murder in the correct environment. So does that mean the average person is evil?

I’ve yet to meet a conservative that’s arguing in good faith and is willing to change their view when presented with a sound argument.

I am. Although I’m not just conservative. It really depends on the subject, sometimes I’m conservative, and sometimes I’m liberal. I really want to avoid just picking one side, and saying the other side is evil.

And that’s a bad systematic problem. But voting based on the candidate should help to slowly fix it. While there is a very clear difference between democrat and republican, there are still differences between candidates of the same party.

If you vote only for the candidates that are closest to the center, then candidates will compete to be closer. But if you just vote for a party, then the candidates have to no incentive to compete.
