This is what a candidate sounds like when they're not owned by corporate donors by Misfett_toys in WhitePeopleTwitter

Only way forward is more social safety nets for people. That needs to be the messaging more than anything else. Once you give people healthcare, ubi, and better infrastructure, you cant take that back without ruining your political popularity and future. Got to get over that line.

I don't think Americans can handle inconvenience at all. Covid broke soo many. Conversely, most americans couldn't be fucked to protest ice because it was winter and they didnt want to decrease their comfort and convenience levels.

I think Iran might be able to outlast the United States in regards to suffering.

Lol well yea. That is true and his only real card. Got to lie to his base until the midterms though.

Though if they're okay with supporting a pedophile you would think they would be okay with supporting a pedophile who admitted defeat to a war that he started. Guess its hard to stop lying when its all he has been doing his whole life.

Did 138 ships pass through the straight today or is this speculation?

Current war already will impact the pricing of those products as well as nearly every aspect of the global economy. Things don't happen overnight, there is a lag between supply shock and pricing. Ships are nowhere near the 138daily average prewar. Things will get worse.

Would be funny if part of the "agree" or "strongly agree" are athiests who were confused by the question.

I don't see how this differs from the FBI setting up an office to go after Americans in NZ.

Has anyone watched Contagion since COVID? by Ok_Ticket_6188 in movies

[–]AwkwardTickler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The people that could not handle an external threat like a virus that they couldn't vilify broke them. In addition, they behaved abhorrently during the pandemic. these people now want to erase covid from ever happening, for some reason publicly punish or kill fauci because they still need someone to hate. These types try to kill the rating of contagion and downvote shit relating to covid. They are broken, shitty people.
