If fraudulent votes are allowed, I would cast some for Trump if just because Trump was a bit of an isolationist and didn't want to put the US in affairs that didn't belong to the US.

Biden being the police of the world has carried a heavy indirect cost to European powers.

Not Harris. It is a toss up between Trump and RFK Jr.

Some of the potential running mates floated for Harris would be of interest
if they were the ones running for President instead. The only thing I can
find impressive about Harris is that she "isn't Trump." While that is
plenty enough for others to want to vote for her, it is not anywhere near plenty enough for me.

Yes, it's clearly his voice and not "Vaccines cause autism", "The CIA killed my uncle", "WI-FI causes cancer and 'leaky brain'", "Antidepressants cause school shootings", and tons of other conspiracy theories he spouts on a constant basis.

keeping innocent people in prison. suppressing evidence. giving montel williams head.


"As Attorney General, Harris has a history of fighting to keep men she knew were innocent in prison and of hiding cases of significant illegal activity conducted by law enforcement. In 1999, Daniel Larsen was sentenced to 27 years to life in prison for possession of a concealed weapon. There had been nine witnesses who could testify that Larsen was not guilty, but the court called none of them at the trial because of his incompetent and now disbarred attorney. With the help of the Innocence Project, he was able to prove his innocence, and the court overturned his conviction in 2009.

How does this involve Senator Harris? She challenged his release not because she believed he was guilty-she did not dispute his innocence-but because he hadn't presented proof of his innocence quickly enough. And so, she fought to keep a man she definitely knew was innocent behind bars for life (NBCLosAngeles, "After 13 Years in Prison, Man Found Innocent of Crime Freed," 3.20.2013)."

There is that.

"The CIA killed my uncle"

There are some otherwise not prone to conspiracy people who also believe
this one, or variations of it.

"Antidepressants cause school shootings"

Look up "Standard Gravure shooting" on Wikipedia. A jury eventually found
in Eli Lily's favor. However, that verdict was changed to "settled" after
the Judge uncovered a secret agreement between Lily and the plantiffs where
the plantiffs would withhold additional evidence against Lily.

If you look up Prozac, it says that it is the SSRI "most prone to causing insomnia and agitation." When you first start taking an SSRI is when many
of the side-effects are most intense, and is why some people quit taking
them after/during the first week. This is also the period where some
patients experience lower inhibitions.

So if you add something that increases the insomnia and agitation of a
patient that is already on the brink, sort term it will likely make things worse.

If you contine to read about Prozac, it is also one that is more likely to
be prescribed to persons under 25, even though it still puts them at risk
of an increase in suicidal behavior. Many SSRI drugs are not recommended for school-aged persons due to the potential increase of suicidal tendencies,
and many school shooters kill themselves after killing classmates.

While saying they are a sole cause of school shootings is not right, saying that they can increase the risk (when prescribed to the wrong patients) seems to be stating a known thing.

I would add "jump-starting her political career by being the mistress to
Willie Brown, a highly successful and influential politician in her area of California" to her list of accomplishments.

The Willie Brown bit is not speculation, either. Willie was quite open
about how he introduced her into the local political circles and helped
finance at least one of her campaigns. Harris disassociated from Brown once he'd helped her climb the political ladder high enough (and once he'd gone
back to his wife).

No affair with Willie = no introduction to politics = she is never in the picture for VP pick in 2020.

So, she is basically Monica Lewinsky if Monica had aspired to a political career. And, yes, you could probably subsitute Stormy Daniels here and
it'd be the same difference.

Total lack of evidence for these arguments. Kamala hasn't done anything to make comments like that. I just thought she was too conservative actually, but Biden ended
up beating her and Bernie. I thought Bernie was an ideal candidate, but even if he did win he'd never get any of that stuff done, so kinda a waste of time
supporting Bernie at this point back then.

At this point if we're going to vote for a Democrat it needs to be another moderate like Biden and Harris. Obama was a little more left leaning, but nothing like Bernie Sanders, and especially nothing like the average politicianwith almost any party in Europe, they are all more left leaning.

America is uniqe place in the world, and the entire country is right leaning. Our democrats are nothing but moderates here. We don't know what true socialism
is because we haven't lived through that for even 1 second.

Re: Trump or Harris?

If the vote were held today, who would you cast your vote for?

Harris.

Pros:

Already in the white house with an administration that is helping the economy. She can keep some of those people if she wants.
She doesn't have to be the brightest smartest person in the room, she needs to lead our country with values of the nation and her party both. She will have advisors and experienced people to help who already in the administration. Younger than Biden or Trump, or RFK, and not suffering mental illness.
Most likely to defeat Trump, and help save us from potentially changing the election process so that Trump can stay in power as long as he wants.

Cons:
Not my favorite candidate from the prior election. She isn't liberal enough in my opinion. In my opinion, she is a moderate who has an interesting personality to put it politely. Don't think she has mental health problems though, that's another thing.
The fact that she is a woman may skew the polls. All the people who are not responding to polls (I've never gotten a poll call myself come to think of it.), many of them will simply choose to not vote for her simply because she is a
woman. I would think most of us people using this BBS can respect women betterthan that, but not every US citizen. So although this isn't a downfall of herown and she deserves an equal chance on that alone, it could put the actual
election at risk in the actual vote tally, and not so much the polls.

Lack of evidence that it happened (which is incorrect), or lack of evidence that no one believes it is true (could be correct)?

Kamala hasn't done anything to make comments like that.

Kamala's relationship with a married Willie Brown was indeed what lead to
her introduction to, and future in, politics. While they were dating, he
gave her "patronage" appointments to two high profile boards, and later financially backed her run for San Fransisco DA.

"Patronage" is not my word, it is the San Fransisco Chronicle's word.

I just thought she was too conservative actually, but
Biden ended up beating her and Bernie.

Biden, Bernie, and even Tulsi Gabbard ended up beating her, which was
really easy to do because she received ZERO delegates while she was in the
2016 race. All of the above, and I think even one or two others, managed
to win at least a few delegates.

Harris initially blamed Mike Pence for calling here the "most liberal

Andrew Wakefield was struck from the medical register (UK equivalent of stripped of his medical license) for his involvement in the /The Lancet/ autism fraud. As an autistic person, I abjectly and categorically refuse even consider forgetting what that human-shaped sack of hateful excremen done to us.

IMHO, the only "link" between those shots and autism is that the age where kids start getting those shots is also the age where autistic behaviors begin to become obvious. In other words, it is a coincidence and nothing more.

Patently false. Wakefield's paper ("Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children", https://doi.org/10.1016%2FS0140-6736%2897%2911096-0) claimed that the MMR vaccine caused gastro‹ntestinal abnormalities as well as autism.

For background, it came in the wake of a revaccination campaign of all school-aged (5-16) children in England, after measles outbreaks there in 1992. In April 1994, lawyer Richard Barr won legal aid for the pursuit of a class-action lawsuit against MMR vaccine providers under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, on the claim that the vaccine was a defective product and shouldn't have been used. Barr contacted Wakefield for his expertise after reading two papers he published regarding the role of the measles virus in Crohn's disease and in IBD.

It was in that context, and with funding from the Legal Aid Board (since replaced by the Legal Aid Agency) in the amount of œ435,643 (+ expenses) as part of that lawsuit, that Wakefield wrote That Paper. In addition to unethically manipulating evidence, Wakefield knew of test results from his own laboratory at the Royal Free Hospital that contradicted his claims, and had multiple conflicts of interest that he failed to disclose:

1. Wakefield was in Barr's employ, at œ150 per hour (+ expenses), as an expert witness in his planned class-action suit. They recruited the twelve children studied through anti-MMR campaigners, actively seeking the parents of cases that might imply a connection between MMR and autism.
2. Wakefield's name was on a patent for a single measles vaccine,
giving him a financial incentive to discredit a combined MR or MMR vaccine.

The paper claimed that all twelve children were "previously normal", but five of them actually had documented pre‰xisting developmental concerns. It claimed that nine of them had been diagnosed with regressive autism, but three of them were allistic (i.e. not autistic), and only one of the nine was clearly exhibiting regressive autism. In nine of the twelve cases, unremarkable colonic histopathology results were changed after a medical school "research review" to "non-specific colitis". Eleven of the twelve families made allegations at the hospital that the MMR vaccine caused their children to be autistic and/or have GI issues, but three of those claims were withheld because they gave onset times on a scale of months, so as to fabricate a fourteen-day temporal link.

/Sunday Times/ reporter Brian Deer exposed the fakery inherent in Wakefield's research in a lengthy investigation in February 2004. Four years later, in 2008, a separate study was performed on children with gastro‹ntestinal disturbances, which found that there was no difference between autistic and allistic children studied with respect to the presence of measles virus RNA in their bowels; it also found that GI symptoms and onset of autism had no temporal relation to the administration of the MMR vaccine. Expert analyses of the children that Wakefield claimed had "non-specific colitis" or "autistic enterocolitis" showed that their bowels were overwhelmingly normal.

Whatsmore, the MMR vaccine isn't used in Japan; instead, they use an MR vaccine and a separate one for mumps. The occurrence rate of autism there is no higher than the rest of the world, which disproves any link between the MMR vaccine and autism.

/The Lancet/ retracted the paper partially in 2004, and completely in February 2010; Wakefield was struck off the UK medical register three months later. Vaccines. Do. Not. Cause. Autism. And yet, there are enough antivaxxer parents who still believe Wakefield's steaming horseshit that measles is now endemic in the UK and resurging in the US.

Like I said, I think it has something to do with BBS ads and how Mystic handles/displays them. There is also an ANSI editor built into Mystic, so I'm sure there's reasoning behind it, I just don't know what it is. If I had to guess, when it detects ANSI it probably adds ANSI characters or proper line endings to them so that it displays properly on a BBS.

Either way, it's most likely an option that should only be enabled for BBS ad echos or wherever ANSIs are actually posted.

is because we haven't lived through that for even 1 second.

I think any Cuban you may find in Florida may help satisfy your curiosity.

But then I happen to be a Spaniard, which underwent a fascist dictatorship with a heavy emphasis on socialization, so I may also be of help:

In a true socialist system you are looking at a society in which exchange of goods and services is reduced in order to prevent price gouging and speculation. If you go deep into a rural area you will find the means of production are reduced and a big number of people has to share. Maybe there is a single harvester for the whole valley, and you are expected to help your neighbor take care of his field if you want a turn with the harvester later on.

Since exchange of goods and services is walled behind ration carts and licenses, you may expect extreme inequalty. A rural area will be rich on food but won't have anything else because trading food for other things (education, medicines) is hard and only allowed if it fits the Party. Cities will be rich on social services and cheap social housing but food and other essentials might run extremely low.

Invariably, people turns to the black market in order to get the stuff the Party does not want them to trade. Spain should erect a monument to smugglers and food speculation rings because so many people owes their life to those.

I hope that helped :-P

As already established right before you joined the discussion, the US is in such a pityful state with the current administration that, as a foreigner, it causes extreme cringe to watch people defend it.

The fact that she is a woman may skew the polls. All the people who are not responding to polls (I've never gotten a poll call myself come to think of it.), many of them will simply choose to not vote for her simply because she is a

Presidents have very little to do with the price of gas. Sure they can do things to try and swing it a bit in one direction or another, but they don't control global markets.

Actually, oil extractors were paying oil distributors to take fuel from their storage tanks because they were running out of fuel storage and they could not shut the extraction operations off.

But then I'd argue that the end consumer didn't get to see the prices drop as a result (for reasons that have already been discused on DoveNET).

What was noticeable was the increase of fuel prices due to the tensions in Eastern Europe and the shrinking power of the petrodollar empire, things which you can squarely blame on France, Germany and the US. If so many African countries weren't switcing alliances away from the Western blocks over issues with radical Islam they would still be using USD and African Franks (distributed by a French bank). The cesation of movement of those currencies have cause the purchasing power of the whole West to crash.

These are facts? No they are not. I paid more than $3.60 of gas during the Trump administration when COVID hit. You do remember that COVID hit under Trump's term right? You do realize all the problems Trump caused makes Biden look bad because Trump's policies didn't actually really start taking effect until after Biden was in office.

As already said way earlier in this same echo:

Every former administration owns their fuckups, but the current administration owns the responsibility of not fixing them after 3 years.

Spaniard politicians spend so much time blaming problems that former administrations did that the population always forgets a problem may have originated 20 years ago, but the politician in the throne who complains about it is doing nothing to fix it.

Wait, people have to actually agree with you in order for you to deem this a reputable debate forum?

I think a side effect of the way mainstream Internet services (Facebook and the like) is handled is that when people wanders off the walled gardens and enter a place which is not policed, they are shocked because they notice there are lots of people with opinions that are not allowed in mainstream walled gardens.

So many people has been conditioned to think their opinion is the popular one that when they exit the safe bubled they can't take the heat.

Build a political system that uses cohercitive measures to enforce wealth redistribution.

Sit on your sofa and watch it crash and burn because people is unable to exchange goods and services.

Declare "It is ok, that wasn't real socialism."

Let's hope this is really the case, and social media's trickery doesn't do us a huge injustice a second time. :/

America is uniqe place in the world, and the entire country is right leaning.
Our democrats are nothing but moderates here. We don't know what true socialism
is because we haven't lived through that for even 1 second.

the problem is people will all say it was not done effectively.

If you talk to people who have lived through it, or Communism, they
usually were not happy with it and were often so not-happy that they now live in the US.

* SLMR 2.1a * Armadillo: A mouse built to government specs.

You're talking about the Soviet Union, Chinese communism, and stuff like that. See some dude all he did was write a book and became Marxism. And what happene
with the ideas in the book lead to a very warped view of the intent. The intent was always a peoples government for the people. Well countries with pretty sketchy histories like this didn't implement the way it was written. You can call Soviet Union communism if you want. But it's not very different from Nazi Germany - and here's why. Yes the actual government structure is different, that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is that the Soviet Union in particular basically took a dictatorship mentality to it. So it's basically a Dictator Administration that is in control of a communism or socialism style government.

Countries like Spain are examples of socialism that is NOT the same. Yes back in the day Spain has done invasions, but not in recent history. We're not seei


Spain suppo the Ukraine invasion now are we?

The problem is you really have to study history. This is why college educationpeople are more often to be Democrats. You need to not think that every group
of people would implement it the same. And fear is just that, Fear. Complete waste of time. There are socialism and communism like groups that don't want to copy off the Soviets or China. Some will say that's fine, but itjust builds the framework to someone to take over the head and convert it to a
dictatorship. Well, truth is, it doesn't matter WHAT governemnt style a country is. It doesn't have to be radically redesigned to change it into a dictatorship.

All that said, no I don't want the USA to go socialism or communism. But America already has social programs, and that's all we really do. So we make programs to help people, sure, but we're not controlling every aspect of industry or anything like that to better manage the country's resources. I do NOT suppor this! I don't think any president canditate in my lifetime that hada chance of being voted for came even close to socialism, not even Bernie
Sanders.

Thanks

Warmongering is completely orthogonal to the economic system a country operates on, unless the country is question is a super power with an economy built specifically on annexing new territories and taxing their population (Rome, and a couple of modern ones you may think about).

So called far-right in Spain is basically pro Ukrainian and nobody would dare consider them Socialists. And then I think lots of old-school Socialists in Spain would have the current administration by the Socialist Workers Spanish Party shot in the square for betraying Socialist principles anyway. This is the reason why stuff such as the CNT has not dissolved and joined mainstream Socialist orgs.

In any case, it can be argued that any Socialist system that operates at a non-trivial scale becomes a Dictatorship because it is based on forcing people to join. This is, a big scale Socialist regime that can't force people to join can't force certain segments of the population to work more in order to cover the expenses of other segments of the population.

But I also dare say most people who wants a Socialist system would not last 5 days living in a Socialist system. It takes a special kind of person who is aware of the amenities of modern life to be assigned a square of land and a plow and be happy with no modern comforts. The fun part is the people and communities I know who fit that mold tend to be extremely conservative.

Hyperbole appears to be above Trump, he pretty much telegraphs his next moves. Based on what he's said, I don't want a president to proclaim himself dictator given the chance, cut funding for schools teaching CRT and other topics that religious groups can lobby against, Carry out mass deportations, claim to end the weaponization of the government while calling for journalists and his political enemies to be jailed, eliminate mail-in voting and deporting people based on political views.

Because he jokingly said to a reporter he would be dictator for one day?

given the chance, cut funding for schools teaching CRT

No, he would just get rid of CRT only, much the same way DeSantis did in florida.

and other topics that religious groups can lobby against, Carry out mass deportations,

As he or any president should do, We have a legal way to enter this country as do most Nations on earth, that is the ones that let aliens in.
They broke imigration laws and just waltzed across our border, Joe and Kamala encouraged this and failed in their duties of defending our Nation.

calling for journalists and his political enemies to be jailed, eliminate mail-in voting and deporting people based on political views.

That is all leftist propaganda, Did he do any of these things when he was president?

The problem in my book is that even if you believe Trump would do all of that and you happened to dislike the idea, Harris' plan for mending household economy is imposing price caps on domestic products.

Price capping is one of those things that sound great, lots of people have tried it, and it has ended up generating a lot of scarcity issues among the capped products. Even right-wings groups have been burnt with price capping.

Price capping is a thing that kept Spain in the dirt up to the late 50s. IMO a candidate that says she wants to cap the price of food is about as good as a candidate that says she wants to detonate all the nuclear weapons she has in their silos.

I don't want them to, either. While he has come out and made some threats
like that in past, the continued support of things like spying on us (via
the Patriot Act) doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about Democrats
or Republicans not doing this.

religious groups can lobby against,

I have not heard them say this, but I have heard them claim they will gut
or close the Department of Education. My problem here is, in comparing my generation to past generations, I don't see where mine benefited from the existence of the DoE (est 1980, when I was 4 or 5 grades through public
school) or the Office of Education (est 1953) that came before it.

If anything, we seem to be getting dumber.

Carry out mass deportations,

If you are here illegally, you really should not be.

claim to end
the weaponization of the government while calling for journalists and his political enemies to be jailed,

I've not seen this beyond people he believes have comitted crimes, but he doesn't get to make that call. Obama used to go to twitter and make
similar complaints (that person should go to jail) when the courts didn't
see things his way.

eliminate mail-in voting

Unless you are truely absentee, what is a necessity for this that doesn't involve "I like" or "It's convienent"?

and deporting people based on political views.

I have not heard them threaten this. I *HAVE* heard several people attempt
to use their public influence to sway voters by "threatening" they will
leave the country if he wins, though. If this is anything like 2000, 2016,
or any other time these same folks have threatened to leave, the threats
will be hollow from 99% of them.

It's not just electric cars that are driving this. Climate change causes air conditioners to run more often and for longer periods which uses a LOT of energy.

Datacenters are another big consumer of power, even if they claim to
be "Carbon neutral". Northern Virginia has nearly 500 datacenters, mostly in Loudon, Fairfax and Prince William counties. Over the next 15 years power demands are expected to grow by 85%. They're building new power plants (Natural Gas) as fast as possible there, but the rate seems unsustainble.

Honestly they should be plunking down nuclear plants. It's "greener" than solar or wind, and FAR safer than fossil-fuel powered plants. Most nuclear waste is stored on site until it's radioactivity is at or below normal background levels (takes less than 10 years for the majority of it). Even the core material can be safely stored on site for decades if needed since it takes up so little space.

The only real drawback to nuclear is that the plants are expensive and take a long time to build.
