Trump supports Israel, dummy.

Yeah, I don’t support Trump. So it seems if I don’t want to vote for a candidate who supports a genocide in Palestine I need to vote for a third party. Thanks for the help.

Vote for Trump or anyone but Biden - and you give your thumbs up to more of this fucking bullshit.

Vote for Biden to express your tacit approval of genocide, so long as we’re speaking in broad and overreaching terms.

Multiple universities are experiencing lawsuits for punishing students for using AI, but with no proof besides an AI bot telling them the paper was AI generated.

The problem is teachers are ironically relying on AI and not their own senses to sniff out generated papers but the tools themselves are quite unreliable. Then students have little to no procedural actions to defend themselves. The computer says you cheated so you did.

In lab settings where they had students write papers in front of them, the AI anti-cheating tools still flagged several papers as AI generated. Experts noted formal tones and good grammar would often result in false flags.

To your other points, the education system is poorly optimized and more concerned with standardized testing than education, vocational training, or life skills. I’m an accountant, I used to be an engineer, and I have never used 80% of my math lessons from middle school forward. Students are drilled on memorizing the quadratic formula and not taught how to find healthcare, change a tire, file taxes, or other life skills.

AI will thrive in environments that focus on jumping through hoops and meeting certain metrics. Students are disillusioned by mandated testing and subjects they don’t care about and don’t need. AI plagiarism will become more prominent and harder to detect in these conditions.

What's the green party going to do about it? Borrow some money from Russia to go plant a tree in Israel?

lol

Stop funding foreign wars. Apparently you can’t be arsed to read.

Want to get into Biden accepting $5.2 million dollars in donations from the Israeli Super PAC, AIPAC? Or that Democrats received about $40 million in donations from AIPAC and it’s affiliate, UDP in the last 6 months? including a huge surge of donations to both democrats and republicans after they passed the bill to send a few more billion in free weapons to Israel?

Latest counts of those killed by Israeli attacks in the least 6 months total over 35,000 counted, not including those dead by starvation and disease. Over half of those killed are women and children. Bombing of refuge camps, hospitals, and schools are a daily occurrence. And Biden calls his support of this “Iron Clad”.

But please, tell me more of the Democrat lead investigation that found no evidence against third parties. I’m sure that will sway the college students being arrested for protesting and make them loyal Democrats.

So you’re evidence is a Democrat spurred investigation that investigated and found no evidence the Green Party colluded with the Russians.

Then it’s a conspiracy theory that any third party candidate is a Russian plant.

And then the non-points of voting for third party takes away votes from the two parties (which is the point).

Meanwhile they are a party with extreme differences in policies and beliefs and much more align with what the average American says they want from their government. And I can’t emphasize this enough…

They are against the genocide in Palestine. Something that Biden supports wholly and has used all his political clout to fund.

You arguments are tired and don’t actually focus on policy of any politician at all. Just more fear mongering to try and keep people in line with the two party system.

Want to copy/paste the criticisms and controversy section of the Democrats from Wikipedia too?

West isn’t the Green Party candidate anymore. Keep with the times. Also I would prefer a candidate with a tax debt over one that sponsors a genocide In Palestinian. That might just be me.

Meanwhile Biden has made an election year plea to Trump supporters by effectively banning asylum seekers.

Nice attempt to distract from policy talk though.

As an American I wonder why I’m expected to choose between only two candidates, both of which are firmly supporting an active genocide and war crimes.

The two party system has been something pushed to limit our ability to choose candidates that represent our interests and only leaves ‘the lesser of two evils’ which means we are always voting for evil. The mentality is so bad here that as evidence in these forums if you don’t support the Democrats you are accused of being a Republican plant. The older generation especially only comprehend politics as a team sport, them or me.

Recent polling shows this system is unraveling with the younger generation and thank goodness for that. Biden won on the backs of the youth vote, then enacted the same policies Trump did while delivering on none of his campaign promises and expects the same young people to vote for him again. Meanwhile third parties are finding their largest base of support in decades. Republican youth are going libertarian, democrat youth are finding a plethora of candidates such as the Green Party or Cornel West that actually fight for what they want.

They refuse to hold their nose and take the bad medicine, instead opting for institutional change. They see a loss to Trump as probable but ultimately the only step to bucking the system. The democrats went all in on an out of touch candidate who promised the status quo, the status quo for the youth is poverty and a violent government more interested in bombing civilians on the other end of the globe than basic healthcare for its citizens.

I’m also holding out for the dark horse ‘both candidates die before November’ option as it’s legitimately possible with the poor health of both candidates.

No.

Paul Gosar Files to Issue $500 Bill Featuring Trump's Portrait

Quote by WellMadeMale

I'll betcha Trump isn't re-elected, Rowan.

If I lose, (America loses), I'll abandon LushStories and you can stay here and revel in your glory.

When Biden wins a 2nd consecutive term (mostly because anyone with a working brain won't vote for the cocksucker) - you have to disappear from LushStories and never come back.

Platinum vs Platinum.

Wanna wager?

No, that’s stupid.

You have a lot more issues with me than I of you because I really don’t care to chase anyone off.

A good salty ham, pineapple, stack of cash, olives

What’s a fairly unique name you like?

So tin foil hat conspiracies are the Democrats understand that the next four years are going to be terrible politically. Stock market, housing market, and the gdp have been artificially pumped up for a while now and that can’t last forever. Also issues like the genocide America is sponsoring in Palestine is making ally’s abroad and citizen here angry. But the Dems get tons of funds from Israeli super pacs so they won’t fight it.

But if Trump wins they could sidestep blame and let it fall on him. Just a conspiracy theory making the rounds because Biden is such a terrible candidate and the campaign spending is almost non-existent compared to what it normally is this time of year so some people think they are just throwing the election.

Well, part 1 of my prediction is correct.

He’ll be found guilty on a number of accounts.

Sentencing will never happen, it will go to appeals court but after he’s re-elected President he’ll be immune to persecution for four years. If he makes it out of that time frame without succumbing to illness related to his incredibly unhealthy lifestyle I’ll be stunned. Either way he’ll never get a final conviction and he’ll never serve a single day in jail.

As a millennial who did not come from a rich family my current retirement plan is dying on the clock so my corpse is the business’s problem.

What was the last piece of true art you experienced?

I’m more interested in the movements of the ICC than our Supreme Court. Just put out an arrest warrant for Israel’s top brass for genocide.

America has countered with a resounding ‘ uh-uh’ and threatened the international courts with retaliation.

To your point the GOP got to pick the Supreme Court bench because the Democrats kept trying to leverage dying judges against voters to force their support.

Ginsburg was 87 and had been having close calls for years. She missed a number of important cases and no one called for her retirement. Instead it was used as an election issue in 2016 and low and behold they handed Trump the election and gave him full power to put in a new little god king of American law who cannot be removed for the next 50 years.

Supreme Court is ruling in a way that the other 3 criminal trials will not happen till after the election. This is the only one you’ll get. And polling is a sample that potentially reflects the whole.

But as the standard for Trump elections he outperforms the polls. Large issue here is his supporters are actually excited to vote for him and Biden’s are not. And that especially may be the case this year as early polling on young Americans is indicating you’ll see low turnout and a lot of third party voting. Biden’s handling of the Palestinian genocide and subsequent student protests has tanked his odds.

Young people are not willing to vote for a candidate that endorsed genocide and is actively looking to send more weapons for that purpose. Biden won the last election on the back of a progressive wave against Trump and he’ll lose this election for giving them nothing but death and poverty for their efforts.

Quote by WellMadeMale

Except, this happened last October and was extensively covered by all networks for a few days.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Lewiston_shootings

Well I ran a search on Steel Heather’s date of post. Wasn’t the bowling alley. It was a mass shooting that hurt 11 people in Georgia.

It was one of five public shooting incidents that weekend and 2 people were killed in Savanah alone. This didn’t hit any major headline cycle that day.

The 11 shot was an interesting occurrence in a dystopian sort of way. There was one shot, and a bunch of individuals pulled guns and didn’t know where it came from and started firing on each other. And this is exactly why open carry is such a terrible idea.

Quote by sprite

maine. 18 people in a bowling alley. just business as usual, sorry to say.

Damn, lack of headlines only in America. Where 18 people killed in a mass shooting doesn’t crack front page on any news network. Ick.

Latest polling for Biden is pretty dismal. Looks like a pretty bad for the Democrats as Trump is holding the popular vote as well. Not a majority, but the left base are spread out with other candidates.

Seems as though the ‘lesser of two evil’ arguments doesn’t resonate with the young generation when the lesser evil still pushes to fund a genocide.

Another note is the Biden campaign and the Democrats have a massive unspent war chest. Normally both parties are in full swing campaigning at this point and Biden is sitting it out.

Currently the most likely way to avoid another Trump presidency is if he dies of heart disease, because he’s not looking like he’ll be losing in a general election.

Quote by kistinspencil

Does that even rate a headline any more?

Apparently not. If she’s referring to something that happened in the past few days nothing was on the major news cycles.

Top 3 in no particular order:

28 Days Later: Running zombies, scary and tense, and an amazing ending with heavy notes of social messaging.

The Unit: Most obscure pick, a pitcher/catcher try and survive. Really an every man zombie story. Effects and camera are low budget but writing and end were spot on.

Fido: Kitchy 50’s American dream community with the catch that it exists within a zombie apocalypse and zombies are controlled by collars to be domestic servants. And one lonely boy develops a friendship with his zombie. Think Lassi meets zombies

Hobbit core!

I like that question, I’ll pass it forward.

Rowan is a sleeper. End.Of.Story.

Your sentence structure is awful.

Quote by LYFBUZ

Where is that stat from? I'd bet more than 10% of stock is owned by institutions such as insurance companies and pension funds. I never understand folks who bash the stock market; if you have even a basic understanding of math its pretty easy to avoid losing your shirt. And if there was no stock market where would companies get the funds to grow and expand and therefore provide millions of jobs?

Oh, you mean so they can collectively lower the wages of all workers, create shittier products with less competition, avoid paying taxes, funnel money to politicians, and keep the minimum wage from raising for 2 decades? Fuck that would be awful if that went away.

Quote by Magical_felix

The richest people on the planet can afford to hold during a crash, dummy. They actually buy up more when the price is low and get richer once the market corrects.

Look at what happened in 2020...

Wealth distribution? You really don't understand what the stock market is do you? Do you think a dollars worth of devaluation will now be redistributed to the poor? lol explain yourself

You’re under the impression that the stocks crash and then it’s business as usual after a few months. It’s a failed economy that holds no base in the reality of company performance.

The stock market needs to go away. When I say it crashes, it should not come back.

Quote by Magical_felix

Hoping for the entire stock market to crash is so idiotic. Maybe you should look up who got rich and who got fucked over when the stock market collapsed in 1929.

Well, 90% of all stock is owned by the richest 10%. The other 10% is owned by the richest 50-90 percentile.

So I know who would get fucked now. Also I only bank with federally insured credit unions so my money is protected.

So, the rich will lose their shirts and the poor are relatively safe as those federal insurances cap out after about 200k per account. So the stock market crashing will most dramatically impact the richest people who’s entire fortune is kept in the tax have that is the stock market. And since it’s overvalued anyway we’ll succeed in wealth distribution pretty much immediately.

Quote by LYFBUZ

I'm kind of surprised that DJT stock is not being investigated already for stock fraud. The share price is completely untethered from reality. I'm very curious to see how much cash the doofus gets to pocket before the stock is delisted.

If we investigated every company who’s share price isn’t tethered to reality the entire stock market would collapse… so let’s do that!
