US Politics Megathread

You wouldn't be able to discuss anything complicated or nuanced if 4 minutes is too long.

it starts with "a man see God in his car" - I think 4 min is way to long

I'm sick of all these politicians pandering for the Bane vote. First it was forcing everyone in the country to wear a mask. And now this.



They don't really care about big guys; they just want the Bane vote. They talk about banning assault weapons, protecting the second amendment, etc, but not a damn peep about gun-loyalty programs.

Didn't snowden leak stuff to Russia? How is he a hero? (I don't remember the story)

There are speculations that he might have, who knows. But as far as im concerned he put his life and freedom at risk to show to the world that the Us government is spying on its citizens which was only considered a crazy conspiracy theory beforehand.

[spanky4ever]

true @Amsel_ they do not care about you - small sand in their shoes, nessasary to bring the profit in, but other than that- YOU can go to hell all you small ppl.

[Amsel_]

YOU can go to hell all you small ppl.

I heavily agree with this.

No he didn't. He never wanted to go to Russia or end up there. He is considered a hero by many because he exposed unconstitutional mass surveillance of Americans (and the rest of the world). And a bunch of other stuff that can't really be explained quickly here. Of note, I'd highly recommend his book to anyone that cares remotely about government, privacy, free speech or whistleblowing. It's a fascinating read and he breaks all the complicated tech side of things down to be understood by most people.

As to whether pardoning him would win votes? Maybe but I'd doubt it on any large scale. It would be a good thing though. Also take note of Julian Assange's trial going on right now which is looking like an absolute farce.

Mitch McConnell said this yesterday, and it's a pretty good gameplan:

"Every single Democratic Senate challenger is committed to getting rid of the filibuster. What does that mean to the American people? They want to turn the Senate into the House so things can be done quickly with simple majorities. And here's what they're going to do. After they change the filibuster, they're going to admit the district as a state. They're going to admit Puerto Rico as a state. That's four new Democratic senators in perpetuity. And once they get a hammerlock on the Senate they're going to then pack the Supreme Court, the Circuit Courts and the Districts Courts by creating new vacancies, filling them with judicial activists."

Vote Trump or lose the country to Biden.
