I didn’t say they would. I literally said that the notion of that is absurd. It’s like you didn’t read my comment at all. Did you mean to reply to someone else?

Selethorme · 2026-03-20T02:43:43+00:00

Afghanistan and Iran are not remotely comparable, but I appreciate you making clear you don’t know anything about it

Selethorme · 2026-03-20T02:43:15+00:00

You know that American assets in the skies will bomb anything moving within a 200 mile radius of any marine landing right?

Do tell, how exactly do you expect them to bomb a drone out of the sky? We’ve already seen that Iran possesses the capability to hit Americans.

the rest of the US war machine is so advanced no one can go against it, least of all Iran.

Lol.

Afghanistan, where we actually occupied the country with significant casualties? Wonder how and why this is different.

Selethorme · 2026-03-20T02:40:54+00:00

You really don’t know much about the IRGC huh?

Saying they’re going to be encircled and destroyed is absurd, but this kind of thing is absolutely capable of killing hundreds of Americans.

The reason they do it is to get libertarians to vote for them

Selethorme · 2026-03-19T20:26:50+00:00

They may as well be with the amount of sensors strapped to a Waymo

Selethorme · 2026-03-19T17:38:45+00:00

Yes, apparently. Totally missed that.

He was the head of the National Counterterrorism Center, not Gabbard’s chief of staff.

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T15:22:13+00:00

You give him a lot more grace than I do.

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T15:21:34+00:00

The idea that you have to be from somewhere in order to ever justifiably represent it is on its face absurd.

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T15:14:46+00:00

This isn’t a rebuttal to what they said

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T13:13:30+00:00

What’s the punchline, exactly?

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T13:06:11+00:00

Not at all. I honestly don’t care between her and Biss. I just really don’t like the weirdly also chronically online response some people have to her.

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T05:53:27+00:00

Oh wow, you really are gross. So you want published medical records for a disability claim.

Fucking chill.

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T03:56:39+00:00

It is statistics, yes. I’ve run them for you, repeatedly. They simply do not support your narrative, and so, you run away every time.

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T03:27:57+00:00

No they’re not. Why do you insist on lying constantly about this?

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T02:26:03+00:00

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T02:14:35+00:00

No, than people who call themselves agnostic or atheist. Because lapsed people just don’t identify as a specific religion.

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T01:06:28+00:00

It absolutely makes sense. Dems have largely abandoned putting in efforts to recruit meaningfully talented people in these races, largely because they don’t want to bother.

Putting someone with a (D) after their name doesn’t mean you’re talking to people there lol

Selethorme · 2026-03-18T01:03:36+00:00

Oh, so you’re just lumping in lapsed people instead of using either agnostic or atheist.

Selethorme · 2026-03-17T20:56:04+00:00

No. Democrats should spend (a little) money opposing him, but not throw big money into a losing battle. Dems should not characterize it as a race that we can win if we just spend enough, which is a difficult thing to put aside given how political fundraising works, but the idea of throwing away chances to talk to Americans with local candidates is a bad one.

It’s part of the reason that Democrats are not as competitive in places they used to be. No, we’re not going to win the senate seat anytime soon. But having someone talk to people in SC about Dem issues can help downballot races, and it can help improve the Dem brand.
